    As the FPS genre was approaching severe staleness, Doom 2016 came at the perfect time to shake up the genre; to show after all these years, those age-old FPS mechanics the franchise birthed can still be as fun as they were all those years ago. Doom 2016 is a true return to form and a masterful collage and celebration of the first-person shooter genre.

    If you’re looking for a change of pace on the Switch and have been searching for a shooter game with amazing multiplayer options, I’d definitely recommend giving DOOM a try—hopefully they’ll release a demo in the future for those on the fence.

    While this is, in technical terms, the worst looking and worst performing version of Doom out there, I can honestly say this is also the most impressive of all versions. The fact you can play one of the greatest FPS games ever made anywhere you want to is already a commendable achievement. Being able to pull out a very playable version of it on weak hardware is an even more impressive feat. Don’t you worry, Doom fans and Switch owners, this version of Doom is still as fun as ever, and one of the most important games released for Nintendo’s hybrid handheld so far, proving the amount of potential the system has to bring console-quality games to the handheld world.

    It’s hard to recommend Doom to those that have played it unless they fit certain criteria. If playing Doom on the go is a huge factor, it gets no better than this. It doesn’t look the clearest or run the smoothest, but 90% of the time players can still enjoy one hell of a game.

    On the whole, I found DOOM quite difficult game to score. It’s a port that looks completely and utterly underwhelming on the TV and yet probably stands as the best first-person shooter out there that can be played natively and conveniently so well on the go. Some will either love or hate the Metroid Prime-style platforming and losing track on where to go next, but one thing’s for sure is that the game itself stays very faithful to the series and makes old-school first-person shooter feel predominantly new and fresh again.

    The only thing they fear is you

    Just finished my first playthrough of what was a very enjoyable experience. Doom is a game that almost entirely focuses on gameplay. Therefore the story leaves something to be desired but this takes nothing away from the enjoyment. As the combat is the games key selling point. The shooting is very satisfying with a wide range of weapons to your disposal which you will have to learn to use to play the game effectively. A clever system that allows you to gain ammo and health from enemies introduces even more layers to the game. Within all of this are also small portions of platforming and exploration. Couple this with doom's amazing soundtrack by Mick Gordon and you have yourself a great game.

    To Hell and back

    loved the action and the pace. The story was great and gameplay was nice and offered a great arsenal of weapons too. Only reason it doesn't get a perfect score is the lack of minibosses and an underwhelming final boss with limited moveset. Other than that a perfect game.

    Here I am again with another SUPER LATE review. I finished the game a while back but recently came back to replay some of the missions and try to find all the secrets and collectibles. That's a solid proof that this game is really good. It's exhilarating to play and will keep you playing for hours on end to finish each mission and it gives a lot of value with replayability. Even if you have explored all the locations you can still play it again on a different difficulties or try to upgrade all your weapons. Combat/shooting is one of the best out there. It's always satisfying to smash the skull of demons with your melee attack or cut them in half with the chainsaw and see the ammos and health packs fall down like confettis. I tried to play the online multiplayer mode but it seems that the player base is really low. It took a long time to find a match so I just quit. They probably have moved on to Doom Eternal. 100% recommended for all PS4 players and I'll probably going to play Doom Eternals after I find all the collectibles and secrets in this game

    Played Doom 2016 a year ago, didn't quite like it because i barely played the Campaign. But now it's on game pass again, i tried it and Played for a couple of hours. It's amaizng, Story everything. Smashing blood everywhere. It's more bloody then Doom eternal. Doom eternal is more Arcade type while DOOM is More bloody with smashing head and blood everywhere plus It's very dark. With Every boss is Unique and Cool, It's worth every bucks.

    An intense and brutal surprise. Who would have thought that the "Doom" remake would be one of the best shooters around? It puts gameplay first, making you feel fast and ferocious, swapping guns, executing enemies, jumping to the left and right ... all while inundating you with savage heavy metal. A must play for fans of shooters.
