Doom’s been around for so long it doesn’t really need an introduction. Whether you’ve been gaming since the early 90’s or you’re a relative newcomer, the chances are you’ve come across the DOOM franchise before.
Doom Eternal continues the series tried and tested formula of lots of guns, plus gore and chaos equals insane fun, and honestly it doesn’t miss a beat, and it delivers the classic doom experience with some really impressive visuals and a generous variety of weapons.
You play as the slayer, aka doom guy, and you’re the only one that stands in the way of the demon invasion, and the only thing they fear.
There’s a long singleplayer campaign that took me a good 10 hours to complete on the first run, with plenty of replayability that task you with going back to complete master levels on various difficulties once you’ve finished the main game.
There’s a multiplayer scene as well with a few different but simple deathmatchy type modes set on shoebox maps, though the online community’s small and honestly it doesn’t offer anything special and is more like a sideshow that they added just to be able to say it has multiplayer support, but the main focus of the game is definitely on the singleplayer stuff.
Understanding that you want to get straight to the action without having to suffer through any tedious tutorials that teach you what W,A,S and D do as if games were only invented yesterday, you’re given a very short back story that welcomes you to hell on earth as the world becomes consumed by monsters from mars, and then released into the world for a sort of live fire tutorial that drops hints about how to get ammo and health as you go, things that might not be immediately obvious from the uninitiated.
See whenever you need ammunition, you go up to an enemy and press C to bring out a chainsaw and cut them in half, which makes it rain ammo. For health you have to bring down the enemies hp enough to make them start flashing orange and then hit E to punch them or pull out their eye to make it rain health drops, and for ammo you finish them off with your flame thrower.
You know, just like in real life.
The heavy reliance on melee combat to finish off your opponents and replenish your health and ammo that they introduced in Doom 2016 is still very much a part of the experience, though whether or not you enjoy it comes down to personal preference.
Personally when I think of DOOM I think of big guns, plenty of explosions and demon gore flying left and right, so having to run around doing take downs that have the same animation every time depending on the angle you attack from can get abit old, and I prefer the classic way of picking up ammo and health packs placed around each area.
Still though despite the slayer’s recent affinity to using his fists to deal justice in the name of humanity, it’s still a fantastic game and we highly recommend it. Thanks for watching, I hope you found this review helpful and we’ll see you in the next one.
