Reception

I have little to complain about regarding the single-player campaign. It's a fun shooter that brings back aspects of classic design (like health packs and sprawling levels) that I didn't realize I missed so much.

It's hard to imagine a better Doom game in 2016 than this exhilarating, darkly witty new take on id's classic.

Developer id Software is able to hit players hard and fast with gameplay that calls back to an era that many may think was left in the past. However, DOOM instead brings the past roaring back to life, and for once makes the phrase "go to Hell" seem like an invitation more than anything else.

Intelligent, involved, and relentlessly exhilarating, now, just as in '93, the most exciting FPS around is a game called Doom.

Doom struggles somewhat to finish what it starts, and for a franchise that practically created what we understand as shooter multiplayer 22 years ago, its largely flavorless multiplayer is surprising. But on the whole, as a new interpretation of one of gaming's most formative, difficult to pin down cyphers, id has done a pretty great job in making something...
