Critic Reviews for Doom II
Much like the port of the first game, Doom II on Switch delivers a solid rendition of a classic FPS with only a handful of audio and visual issues preventing it from being perfect. It holds up just as well the original Doom does, and its price is similarly reasonable: as a result, we naturally recommend this one just as much as we do its predecessor.
It's easy to say "boomer shooter," but how many exponents of the genre, with bare-bones gameplay and linear levels, would be able to entertain like King DOOM? Very few, and from time to time id Software likes to remind us. DOOM + DOOM II is the front row seat to watch this show, as well as a game that should be in every respectable collection. Online multiplayer will not rewrite the rules of competitive gaming, but Legacy of Rust could open the doors to new mods bringing new episodes into a great virtuous loop. And just to clarify, the vote is not at all political. It remains to date an awesome game.

DOOM 1 + DOOM 2 is simply one of the best video game compilations out there and an excellent tribute to id Software's legendary shooter.
Doom II, or Doom II (Classic) as Nerve Software's version for the Switch is called, is basically the port of Doom (1993) all over again: highly enjoyable, very cheap (at least for the moment) but far from a perfect version of the game. Just make sure to lower your expectations a bit, because in terms of level design this is the inferior sibling.
When you combine timeless and fun gameplay with the love of the community and the development team, you get something really special. Whether you've played the classic Dooms or not, don't hesitate to pick it up.

DOOM + DOOM II is a complete package, offering the definitive experience of the two eternal classics. But, in general, they are still the same games we have known for more than 30 years, with some extra campaigns.
