Doom

DOOM is an excellent and exceptionally fun first first-person shooter. That's all you need to know.

I honestly think we're looking at a spring blockbuster and a truly worthy reboot of a timeless classic. DOOM isn't for everyone. The blinding speed of play, demonic symbolism, demanding controls, and hyper-violence may discourage some from jumping in. If you can handle it, though, it really is a thrill ride. It's a brass-knuckle punch in the mouth. It's a 2-ounce shot of hard scotch from a skull chalice. It's a shot of adrenaline straight into your eyeball. It's DOOM.

Be it the impressive visuals, the immediately addictive yet simple gameplay or the fluent transition of every one of its components, this is a game that is easy to get lost in and ultimately harder to put down. Bethesda have done good on bringing Wolfenstein’s manic, often colorful, gunplay to contemporary audiences, but they’ve outdone themselves this time with a title that will stand, in due course, as one of their best. It might be hell, but DOOM can be summed up, quite simply, as FPS heaven.
