DOOM

If you're looking for a game where you can punch demons in the face, surf on shotgun shells, and headbang to heavy metal while doing it — [b]DOOM[/b] is your new best friend. Performance? Smoother than a buttered-up chainsaw. Graphics? Totally solid — not mind-blowing, but hey, you’re too busy splattering hellspawn to care. Now let’s talk about enemies: these suckers are freaky, fun, and full of attitude. Special shoutout to my boy [b]Pinky[/b] — big, angry, and dumb as bricks. Love that guy. The story’s there if you want it, but let’s be honest: you’re here to smash demons, not read a novel. And the game respects that; You don’t play DOOM for deep thoughts. You play it to turn demons into red mist. Now the maps? Huge, layered, and loaded with secrets. You’re not just running hallways — you’re leaping across platforms, unlocking hidden rooms, and hunting collectibles. Every level is like a violent puzzle box with blood and metal. There’s even fast travel at the end of every level so you can go back and grab what you missed. Verticality, exploration, and brutal combat arenas — it's all here. It’s fast. It’s loud. It’s metal. [b]Highly recommended for anyone who thinks therapy should involve explosions.[/b]

This DOOM is a raw, aggressive reboot, celebrating pure demon-slaying. It defies modern shooter trends, plunging players into a hellish symphony of gore and metal, demanding constant, forward combat. The campaign is a brutal, exhilarating ride through Martian facilities and Hell. Each encounter is a puzzle of pain, requiring constant movement, exploiting weaknesses, and utilizing "Glory Kills" for health and ammo. This creates an addictive, adrenaline-fueled dance of death. Multiplayer offers frenetic arena combat, and SnapMap provides a creative sandbox. Visually, it's a feast of demonic savagery and industrial grit. Environments are dark and detailed, demons spectacularly rendered. The iconic heavy metal soundtrack perfectly syncs, escalating intensity. In essence, DOOM is a triumphant, unapologetic, fast-paced, and incredibly satisfying shooter. It's a must-play for fans and anyone craving a non-stop, high-octane thrill ride.

Review after rolling credits on the single player campaign. I ripped and tore until it was done and it took me about 12 hours. I did not check out the multiplayer but I did play arcade mode some. TLDR, this is a return to DOOM's roots and its a blast to play! But that may not be what you are wondering about. Dark Age just came out (I am in 2025) and you may be trying to figure out if you should get this one or Eternal or Dark Ages. I can't speak for Dark Ages, but I am playing Eternal now. And they are just different games. Eternal is like this game but with a lot of things turned up to 11, but that is not always a good thing. I think that Eternal is a bit more silly; there are more movement abilities, neon ammo exploding out of enemies, and a less grounded story. To put it in terms of 80's action movies, this DOOM is like Aliens and DOOM Eternal is like Commando. Eternal is more multiplayer focused if you are into that. If you play one of these games you will likely want to play the other one. So about me, DOOM 2 was the first actual computer game that I bought with my own hard earned cash from my swanky job as a subway sandwich artist in the 90's. I had played Wolf3D and the original DOOM a bit so yeah, I was totally radical. DOOM 2 was a great kick in the teeth. It was fast, brutal, and a lot of fun. Since then FPS' have evolved though Unreal, Quake, Halo, COD, Destiny, and everything else so that things slowed down a bit. Now it is a lot of peeking from behind cover and hiding until your health comes back. It is refreshing to play a game again where that doesn't happen. You don't take cover, the demons take cover from you. You are bouncing off the walls, flicking rocket launchers and shotguns at them so fast that they can't keep up. This game is a survival horror from the demon's perspective, with you hunting them down and them telling their little demon babies horror stories about you. It is awesome, and I think that this game is a big part of why the boomer shooter genre exists now. All of that comes out well in the Arcade mode, which is just self contained levels with a score total. You go in and ruin a small city of demon's day as fast as possible. For me if this game has legs it will be that. The campaign is pretty good too. Story wise I felt like it took a bunch from Dead Space 2. But then I realized that's backwards. This game is the basic plot of DOOM and Dead Space took inspiration from that. My main gripe with the campaign is that they gate some of the things that make this game fast and fun behind armor and weapon upgrades. At the start it feels a little slow and clunky in the campaign because of that decision. So in conclusion, yeah this game is great. The campaign is about 12ish hours long. There are huge windy campaign maps with a ton of secrets and collectibles hidden in them. It also has multiplayer which I did not check out. And the arcade mode is a ton of fun. And if you are reading this it is probably on sale.

[h2] Introduction [/h2] Doom can be best described as guns, demons, and unrelenting metal. DOOM (2016) doesn’t just recapture the metal spirit of the originals. It rips the soul out of modern FPS design and stomps it into the dirt with a size-13 Praetor Boot. [h2]Narrative & World[/h2] There is a story here — hidden in terminals and environmental hints — and it’s surprisingly self-aware. The game knows its job isn’t to dump exposition; it gives you just enough to frame your rampage through UAC’s Martian hellscape. But what little is there has bite. Also, the game opens with your character literally throwing a monitor aside mid-cutscene. A statement, and a promise. [h2] Design & Systems [/h2] There’s an elegance in how DOOM structures its upgrades and progression. Weapon mods and rune trials act like lite-RPG systems: not enough to bog you down, but enough to let you make meaningful choices about how you play. Do you glory kill for health, chainsaw for ammo, or just go full Berserk and rip your way to enlightenment? The game makes you earn your power — and once you do, it lets you unleash it with wild abandon. [h2] Sound & Atmosphere [/h2] The soundtrack deserves its own paragraph. Mick Gordon’s industrial metal score doesn’t just accompany your slaughter — it fuels it. It is the heart of the game. [h2] Final Thoughts [/h2] DOOM (2016) isn’t just a reboot — it’s a resurrection. A chainsaw-sputtering, double-jumping, demon-gutting celebration of everything that made the original iconic. It honors its legacy not with nostalgia, but with fury. It doesn't try to evolve the formula into something it’s not — it perfects it. Even if you come from the world of tactical RPGs and turn-based battles, there’s something undeniably primal here. Something sacred. Hell didn’t know what hit it.

Bullets flying, demons exploding, and you sprinting around like a rage-fueled maniac with a shotgun and zero patience. The adrenaline never stops, the soundtrack is a masterpiece, and the level design is straight-up hellish brilliance. Yeah, there are a few little bugs. 10/10 :)

Doom 2016 is my personal favorite, it feels the closest to classic DOOM titles but in modern graphics, also this game kinda too inspiration from DOOM 3 as well. The combat is top-notch with the glory system being introduced and all, the story wasn't the best, but then again it's a DOOM game, it's also balanced in pacing unlike eternal which felt really really fast paced like emo core style

As much as I enjoy and love this game I won't stand by it until Marty Stratton gets fired and company publicly apologizes to Mick Gordon

This is easily one of the best games i've ever played. i can't wait to play more of that series - music is perfect - fights are perfect - bosses are perfect specially the last boss - the variety of stages is perfect

fun gameplay, surprisingly amazing story/lore.

Amazing game, super immersive experience and can definitely appreciate it more after playing the 1993 version first. Game length was appropriate too, any longer and it would have felt a bit dragged out to me. Not really my type of game, and I don't plan on playing any of the other Dooms, but very satisfied and would highly recommend.

Doom refounded a genre with this game. Very worth playing to see where the modern boomer shooter genre got some roots.

I've played it in full on another platform. Got again on Steam for $4, happy to play again. I love DOOM because it knows exactly what it is. It is intense, fast-paced action. It has an interesting setting, but unlike some other, more cinematic games that might have an identity crisis as they pretend to be movies, every aspect of DOOM is there to support its core premise: intense, fast-paced action. Let's talk a bit more about the setting, because it can be off-putting. You begin your mission on Mars, in a human settlement ravaged by a demon infestation. The demons are literally coming from Hell itself, and you need to stop them. You are the Doom Slayer, an ancient hero, released from a stone tomb to save the day. You are released into a lost settlement: there is no one left to save. You just need to close the portal to Hell so that it doesn't spread further. This is obviously pretty dark, and the game has a lot of gore to boot, but all of this evil serves a purpose: you are here to destroy everything that moves. Anything left of the place is Hellspawn, there's nothing left to rescue. Give no mercy and destroy everything you see. Or as the intro says, "rip and tear, until it is done". This setup ties perfectly with the gameplay. This is a first-person shooter on steroids. No attempt is made to ground the gameplay in realism. You're equipped with a slew of unrealistically powerful weaponry and you can swap between this weapons instantly. There's no reloading required: you just fire each weapon until it's empty. You need to be careful with ammo. You should save the powerful guns for the powerful enemies. But otherwise, like the game says, "rip and tear". You'll have a lot of fun doing it. Your character moves like a fighter jet. You can run and aim at the edge of your reaction time, all while the game's legendary heavy metal soundtrack plays in the background. It is the most intense gaming experience I've ever had. Nothing gets your blood pumping like DOOM. Playing this in mid-2025, the graphics are certainly a bit dated, but the game runs smoothly. If you like action games, you have to try this. It is pure, unadulterated action, and more games should be designed like it.

This game is the perfect one after hitting the gym and wanting to go all out on something else, but you don’t exactly know what. St. Anger by Metallica coupled with this shyt is HARDLY amazing. I don’t propagate gaming, but this is something else.

big guns, amazing maps and graphics, top tier soundstrack. Hell yeah!

Well, what can I say? Nearly ten years on, and I love it just as much now as I did when it first came out. It is an absolute joy to play, and is perhaps my favourite out of the three newest DOOM games produced by ID Software. Hard to fault it.

TL;DR: 8/10 Dumb as hell and hella fun. Obviously, future Earth's energy crisis will be so dire that the only logical solution is to rip a portal to hell to harness an arcane power. Naturally, those portals must be opened on Mars. Where else? That's just science. All the comically over-the-top plot points are cartoonishly fun, and perfect for the distilled adrenaline of Doom's combat. The absurdity goes a bit far in its technobabble mumbo-jumbo. The only necessary narrative: [b]if it moves, destroy it. Brutally.[/b] The game structure is repetitive. (1)Eviscerate the onslaught of enemies. (2)Explore cleared rubble for secrets. (3)Repeat. This would be monotonous if both weren't so fun. The combat is a sinister belly-laugh at the FPS meek (read: me) who conventionally snipe at enemies, conserve ammo, and avoid dangerous conflict. Each new encounter is a manic arena of in-your-face, gritty, gory carnage accompanied by a thumping metal soundtrack. On the higher difficulties, there will be death. But the checkpoints are well-distributed, and as the game reminds you: "you can be as useful in death as you are in life." Environments range from sterile space labs to scorched Martian outposts to—you guessed it—literal hellscapes. Each area is visually distinct and full of hidden secrets. Exploration pays off, and experimenting with the varied arsenal opens up new challenges and rewards that make you feel even more like a walking apocalypse. I never dabbled in the multiplayer or the arcade mode. Nor did I need to. I was more than satisfied with the single-player campaign. Outside analyzing what makes this purr, it's not a thought-provoking experience. But when it's this fun, does it need to be? Hell no.

Of the three modern Doom games, 2016 stands out as the most complete package. The presentation and story is really tight, the combat is fun and closest to the old games, and the art style is pretty committed. Its very much a full rounded out AAA game from the mid 2010s, and its one of the best ones at that. Doom Eternal has better combat and I find to be more fun to play as a video game. Doom The Dark Ages experimented on the formula and has a fairly deep combat system for what it is. Doom 2016 is fantastic, and i find arguing which of the three is best to be an exercise in futility because all three games have their high water marks that should be experienced. Buy this one, play the hell out of it. Crank the difficulty until the game makes you mad, then push through it and become the Slayer himself. Enjoy Mick Gordon's soundtrack that seriously is worth the price of the game alone.

Got a bit tedious and repetitive for me near the end (mostly because of samey environments and overpowered weapons that let me optimize the fun out of combat), but a great modernized classic FPS in the style of Hard Reset or Shadow Warrior 2013. The horror ambiance and environmental storytelling of this game are totally absent from its sequels, but in all other respects I think both are much better games in 2025. This one is still worth your time to play through first, though.

Finished the game in a solid 8 hours, and it was the first campaign I've played front to back in years. Genuinely really fun, with easy to understand mechanics throughout. Mick Gordon's cookery on the soundtrack will always be peak.

This is my second favourite FPS campaign after Titanfall 2. I've replayed this a few times over the years and it still delivers. If you remotely enjoy FPS games this is a must play.

DOOM isn’t just a shooter — it’s an explosive act of rebellion against hell itself. It’s pure, uncompromising adrenaline that doesn’t let you breathe for a second. Every punch, every shot is a symphony of rage, energy, and defiance. The gameplay? Cathartic. Fast, brutal, and stripped of fluff. The soundtrack? A religion of its own. The graphics? Gritty, gory, glorious — all at 60 FPS. This is proof that true classics can be reborn to tear the modern world a new one. But in all this perfectly crafted chaos, there’s one thing missing: Ukrainian language support. DOOM should be accessible to every player, no matter what language they speak. We are part of the global gaming community, and we deserve to rip and tear — in Ukrainian. It’s not just about convenience. It’s about identity. Glory to Ukraine. Death to demons. And give our language a rightful place in this hellish bestiary!

Clearly the younger brother of Eternal. Even though it is slightly worse at all aspects, it is still a well-polished and fun shooter. Would recommend.

Bom! Campanha curta, mas bacana. Multiplayer está completamente vazio hoje em dia (como era de se esperar).

This game is amazing!! the environments are designed well and the weapons are really fun. The game has a story line but the story was not that engaging for me. I and my girlfriend really enjoyed running around tearing monsters apart or exploding their brains. It was so much fun that I bought the next versions too!

The only game that has made me feel adrenaline coursing through my veins The campaign felt a bit short though still 10/10

What is stronger than death cannot be killed. Legends tell of a man with a fighting style so beautiful and so terrible that even GWAR fears him. He may have even been the bands first founding member. As time went by none could keep up with his brutality so he just had to go solo. GWARRRRRRR

Great game to turn off your brain and kill every monster that you see. 9/10 just bcs Eternal is better

This feels like a retro game but with modern graphics making it exactly what a modern Doom game should be

best level design of the trilogy, both in terms of gameplay and aesthetics

Everything is great until you get to the poorly balanced Rune challenges. Cakewalk challenges for rewards no better or worse than the rewards from the astronomically bullsh*t challenges that were obviously designed poorly and lack fair gameplay. Unfair as in you rely on armor with 1 point of health and generating Imps out of your view to dodge incoming attacks while in the middle of killing other enemies, only to be killed by an Imps attack due to the unawareness. Literally killed my enthusiasm to finish the game. If you can't make challenges without them being balanced, don't include them. Just implement something else.

[b]Of the year 2016 among the most malicious stains upon the game industry. Annihilation of the beloved classic franchise[/b] Overwatch players always asked for singleplayer campaign mode for their game, little did they know it was always there, in the form of this piece of utter shit : mountain climbing down syndrome space retard adventures ! And double jump like mario Bing bing wahoo! [spoiler]телекомпания Games BARS представляет...Иван Гамаз обзор МАРИО 1[/spoiler]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAHiTfGTZcA seriously there is more mountain climbing in this trash than in entirety of far cry games, even the one about cavemen... As for the idiotic double jump it forces the developer to design the levels even more progressively retarded, and trivializes the combat encounters. U are more like winston the gorilla in this game than doomguy at all.N U got these weird guns the little pistol and the gun that shoots BUBBLES... and one of the characters is some david bowie looking lesbian. Are u telling me this is not the much desired by ppl Blizzards overwatch campaign??? No coherence about where to go, if u just want to enjoy shooting and killing u will get lost every 5 minute cause everything looks like the same plastic shit with no distinction. Perfect interface and map for ipad babies though, they will feel totally in their element in this game. Then you got these idiotic weapon, armor n runes upgrades (wtf is the point of this trash? might as well add looting and crafting)- the amount of time you visit these screens , combined with all of the shitty cutscenes and door-opening & computer-console animations in this game makes this game reminiscent way more of JRPG trash than doom. And any moment of silence in this game is surely interrupted by some "much needed" shitty voice acting from the reddit robot characters or lesbian david bowie. Most of the monster designs are almost as equally lame, just overdesigned artstation crap with the main gimmick being an eyeless skull of sorts, and of course some much needed gender representation among the demons is very needed. U play this game and it makes u wanna take a shower,not because of "sweat",but because of digging graves in the mud - graves for someones' mothers. Rest in peace. There is a strange feeling of taint after this game, just disgusting. ZOOM 2016 is a game for ppl whose zodiac is the stillborn infant. It would be an OK fun game if it was just combat, with none of the aforementioned GARBAGE. but in this state I do not find this trash playable at all. It is amusing in a bad way to find so many people have recommended Doom 2016 yet Mafia 3 of the same release year was so intensely hated; Mafia 3 n mafia 2 has WAY more in common with doom fps games than this decayed filth. Rlly shows u that the cattle rlly doesnt care about gameplay, just audiovisual rubbish with reddit storytelling - pure manchildren that need a bed time story. Other than doom, another great franchise that has been degenerated into extremely repulsive trash that year was Hitman. First time played this game yesterday,never had much interest in it since its release,expected mediocre game but what i got was much worse...Abandoned in shortly after entering hell,cause it is too damn shit, tedious and uninteresting. I've had way more fun with this game couple years ago than with Doom https://store.steampowered.com/app/735410/Task_is_to_Survive/

In this relaxing game you can pull out a chainsaw and cut these extremely fat demons in half i call them Chris's mom because well you know... My friend Owen caught a witch once in minecraft and named it Chris's mom it was really funny! i told my mom if she dies i would slaughter a bunch of orphans she didn't like that. very good game i like shooting all the demons and Chris's moms. its obviously no where near as good of a game as bloons but c'mon that is an outrageously high standard.

Doom 2016 is a great shooter game. The gunplay is responsive - every weapon has its own distinct feel and is genuinely satisfying to use. Each one features two firing modes, adding variety to combat. There are a lot of upgrade opportunities - for your suit, weapons and runes. I appreciated how the game encourages you to adapt your playstyle through various in-game challenges. Levels are packed with secrets, and they’re absolutely worth seeking out: discovering them rewards you with valuable weapon and/or suit upgrade points. I also enjoyed the story. Nothing groundbreaking, but it complements the action well. There’s a surprising amount of lore, and almost no ludo-narrative dissonance — even power-ups like Quad Damage are given in-universe explanations. Solid installment in DOOM series, a real treat for any FPS fun out there.

the NCR approves this game, glory kills are peak, but multiplayer is as dead as expected but who cares, the campaign is peak anyway

Fun in a simplistic manner. You run around shooting stuff and occasionally explore to try find routes to secrets or upgrades. The early game can set you in wrong direction of play style as with pistol, slowed movement when charging shots and basic possessed workers being vulnerable to headshot you start to go small movements, popping in and out of cover and precision gunplay when really you should just be running around like a madman and blasting away.

92/100 Very good. My personal favourite DOOM game. I like the slick movement and visuals. It's very clear cut and simple. You rip and tear with any weapons of your choice against any demon any way you want. No restrictions, it's beautiful. And optimized to a T.

this game is playing as a 1000 year old man who got taken out of his rock bed and starts fighting mars people out of rage. pinnacle of gaming.

Very well balanced and satisfying combat delivered in a hardcore heavy metal package. Overall, Doom 2016 is a very solid and complete experience. I absolutely recommend it. Mick Gordon's music absolutely shines throughout the game, and it always manages to match the flow of combat. Also important to note; this game is INCREDIBLY well optimised. The saying "Doom runs on anything" typically refers to the first and second games. But even the 2016 title will run on pretty much any old junk-box PC you can get your hands on. Though unlike its older brothers, you might struggle getting this title to run on a digital pregnancy test or an ATM machine. Assuming however that you aren't limited to a screen the size of a fingernail and less than a full gig of ram, Doom 2016 should run perfectly.

big rara energy. if Dark Ages or Returnal left you wanting something a bit more gunheavy, Doom 2016 feels more shooter than those. Id only argue that the exploration and navigation can be a little tedious in some levels that lack strong landmarks, points of interest and are instead a jumble of boxes and hallways, that can kill the momentum a bit. Tho not every level has that problem, and the game vastly improves as it goes on.

Intense gameplay. Maybe i'm not good at playing video games, but even normal difficulty was a challenge. 10/10, the story is simple but interesting, and the graphics at maximum blew me away.

DOOM is just pure, unfiltered chaos in the best way. You jump in as the Doom Slayer, and from the first minute, you're blasting demons, moving fast, and tearing everything apart. There’s technically a story, but the game knows you’re not here for that. You’re here to rip and tear, and it delivers. The combat feels amazing. It's all about staying aggressive; run, shoot, glory kill, repeat. The guns hit hard, the movement is smooth, and the soundtrack absolutely slaps. DOOM knows exactly what it wants to be and it nails it. If you want a shooter that just lets you go wild, this is it.

It's absolutely terrifying, for the demons that is, 10/10 I ripped and teared.

Other games: DOOM: Here’s a gun. Shoot everything. Pure, relentless havoc from start to finish. You’re not trapped with them — they’re trapped with you. Plus Mick Gordon’s soundtracks... sh*t makes you rip and tear everything you see.

Awesome good old fashioned shooting and killing. No sass, no queer agenda. Just you, a gun, and some demons to kill. Or other players.

I have been playing this game for hours. Killing all the monsters, bosses, and finding some secrets. But there is only one thing that makes me die repeatedly, fall damage and going out of the map.

W game great for time came out at 2016 amazing sound track only downside not enough movement would recommend to any one,

Wow I had so much fun playing this game. It is on point, everything, the music, the violence, the music, the glory kills. Doesn't overstay it's welcome. At the price it is selling it's a steal. Advice for steams deck user: you can see there's something wrong as soon as the game starts, cause it takes all the power it can. Use the tdp limit, the percormance won't drop

very fun boomer shooter with a bit of lore for the lore scholars

Fast-paced first person shooter where you're killing demons. Super fun gun play. I wish the movement was a little faster but so far it's been fun. The game has had a fair increase of difficulty, not too fast or slow. Introducing about one new enemy per mission. It has a bigger variety of weapons than I'd originally thought. If you like FPSs then I'd recommend this one.
