Doom Pc Game Review Ps2
DOOM 2016 is an excellent video game. I genuinely consider it a work of art. It's one of the best FPS campaigns I can remember playing. If you have any interest in a fast paced, adrenaline filled, gloriously violent action FPS, this is definitely the game to check out, and I can't imagine anything else dethroning it for a few years at least. Bethesda Softworks/Machine Games had done a great job in releasing Wolfenstein: The New Order back in 2014, and Doom is a similarly successful 'soft reboot,' although the two games are very different in terms of design and gameplay focus.
To non-gamers, every game where you point a gun and shoot things in the face looks the same to them, more or less. However, people who play any number of FPS can tell you how different a few tweaks and changes can make the experience. Imagine the tense, malaria infected and desperate struggle for survival against overwhelming odds in Far Cry 2 compared to the pot filled, dubstep blasting, power fantasy that was Far Cry 3. Imagine the slow paced, resource management and crowd control tactics of the Halo series compared with the lighting fast, laser focused quick decision action of any Call of Duty title. First Person Shooters can differ greatly in how they play and what emotions they generate, the only thing they share is the perspective and control structure (maybe), but things like enemy health, movement speed, weapon damage, can change what the player experiences during a game.
As much as I loved Wolfenstein: The New Order, I now realize that there is an inherent contradiction within the gameplay design. This is a game where you can dual wield massive assault rifles and fire them with pin point accuracy with no penalties whatsoever. but your character was very fragile and could only take a few hits on higher difficulties. This, coupled with B.J.'s lumbering slow speed and the enemies firing hitscan weapons meant that despite having overwhelming firepower at my fingertips, the gameplay often turned into just another cover based shooter, a 'stop and pop' kind of game. It was frustrating not being able to unleash hot lead on all the Nazis in sight, but because of their hitscan weapons and B.J. staggering around like a muscled tank bristling with machine guns, it made more sense to hide and peek around corners from time to time when facing overwhelming odds. I understand why they did this, the game is still somewhat grounded in a facsimile of 'Real Life' and maybe allowing B.J. Blazkowicz to run around at lightning speeds would be too ridiculous to witness in an otherwise gritty and realistic setting.
DOOM is free of the shackles of realism, however. The distinct 'Hell On Mars' setting, plus the protagonist being a !@#$!ed Sci Fi Doom Marine Angel of Destruction and Death means that there is no restriction as to how fast the character can move, how high they can jump (or double jump). I swear, the first surprise, among many I found in the game was how fast your character moves. Tap W and he freaking flies across the environment he's got rockets taped to his ass. I think it's approximately 10 times faster than B.J. sprinting at max speed. It's amazing. This plus a simple ledge climbing mechanic means you can zip and mantle around the environment at extremely high speeds. The game's enemies all have projectile weapons/ melee attacks, combined with many of your own weapons being hitscan meant every encounter played out like a deadly dance versus a stop and pop shooter. You're not taking cover, you are actively dodging shots and dealing out damage constantly, instead of hiding behind a chest high wall. It is within your power to move out of harms way if you are quick enough, and on the higher difficulties even a SECOND spent poorly in the wrong position can lead to your death, which I absolutely loved.
The player experiences DOOM from the perspective of an extremely mobile glass cannon with a cone of heavy DPS but only in the direction the camera is facing, which means movement and precision are both key to success. The added glory kills adds to this feeling of a 'dance', you NEED to get close to the enemies to tear them apart with your hands to regain health, so the moment to moment gameplay is a frantic mix of strafing, jumping, shooting, switching weapons, spinning, sniping the head off of a Mancubus, turning to rip demon's head off of its shoulders, jumping, blasting a hole in an Imp's chest, running forward and so on. This is portrayed on a graphics engine with great details and textures throughout even at blindingly fast speeds, a brutally bloody and glorious gore system with location based dismemberment and gibs effects, set to an ass kicking, dynamic soundtrack by Mick Gordon that feels like an entire rock band inside your computer dedicated to melting your face off with sweet guitar riffs about HOW FUCKING COOL YOU ARE.
And oh boy, the gameplay a barrel of pure, unadulterated fun. You know that feeling in a multiplayer twitch shooter where you are racking up kill after kill while flying through the level avoiding all damage and you feel the adrenaline pumping through your eyeballs and EVERY sense is stretched to the limit? You know the feeling when some kickass song is stirring something deep inside your soul and you can't help but bob your head and tap your feet? You know the feeling when you rub a kitten's belly and it purrs? DOOM encompasses all of these feelings, and more. The game feels more like a Devil May Cry or a Bayonetta than a traditional shooter, due to its unrelenting pace and bullet hell-like maneuverability, and it is a fantastic niche for the franchise to occupy in this new age of modern shooters.
The weapons are fantastic, mostly all come with two alternate firing modes in addition to a primary mode, and each are unique in their own capabilities. Unlike other games where I usually found a gun I liked and stuck with it, ammo is balanced in such a way that you are encouraged to switch it up once in a while, often discovering that you may enjoy this other gun more than you first thought. Ammo is never THAT scarce, however, so if you want to do a Super Shotgun only playthrough, I mean who can blame you? One of the driving factors in this game is the desire to unlock weapon upgrades that turn them each into uniquely overpowered death machines, which is always an exciting prospect. What is your reward for killing lots of demons extremely efficiently and brutally? A BIGGER AND BETTER WAY TO KILL DEMONS. What's your reward for exploring an area? Some sweet upgrades, AND MORE DEMONS TO KILL!
The storyline in this game… is perfect. Unlike The New Order's serious premise, DOOM takes things far less seriously. The game is constantly winking at you, reveling and delighting in the ridiculousness of its own premise. Have gun, kill demons. It's self-aware, but not self-aware in an annoying, Gearbox Borderlands kind of way. However, one of the biggest surprises for me is how damn cool and intriguing the storyline gets as it eventually expands outward through the game. It gets your hooks in you, and you're left wondering/ wanting more when the credits roll.
DOOM 2016 is a surprise hit that everyone who enjoys First Person Shooters should give a shot. Play on Ultra-Violence or above, and experience an amazing single player campaign that will be compared as a benchmark to future games for a long, long time.

It's almost like they wanted to die..again.
With the vibrant retort of the shotgun still echoing in your ears, the last of the zombie marines falls in a pixelated puddle of gore. These pistol-wielding freaks were all that stood between you and the silver space-age door that you've managed to obtain a keycard for earlier in your travels. This level has proved to be a cakewalk so far, and whereas a veteran Doom player would find this suspicious and worrying, you're pumped up on a killing spree, thirsting to thrust your chainsaw into the ribcage of some fireball-spewing imps some more. It's with confidence you open the door, which slides open with a hydraulic hiss.
You find yourself the only occupant of a cavernous and circular room. The only things of note within are the level's exit at the far end and the altar in the middle containing yet another keycard, one perhaps needed to open the door that will lead to your escape. It's times like these that distinguish between a dead Doom marine and a live one.
You need to always remember: iD Software hates you. They want to see you dead.
Those that have been lulled into a false sense of security will merrily skip toward the keycard, already thinking ahead to the next level, unaware of the fact they are about to die. Several sadistic traps could be laid out here to catch the unwary in a rather fatal fashion: the altar could prove to be false and plunge you into a skin-melting river of acid; the keycard presented could prove to have the wrong colour coding, ensuring you need undertake further exploration to achieve your escape; the room could fill with angry hellspawns at a moment's notice. Or, because iD hate you, all three.
Maybe you'll be saved by quick reflexes and manage to escape the drop into one of the many radioactive streams below and consider yourself lucky to do so, but you would then have to contend with the veritable cornucopia of fireballs that has suddenly flooded the screen. Spinning yourself on the spot will show a depressing number of imps suspended above you in now-opened hidey-holes situated high in the once-smooth wall. You now stand in the middle of a shooting gallery, and presenting these pyromaniacs with a stationary target promises more than a slight singeing.
So you move. The shotgun is replaced with the rapid-firing chaingun as you fling bullets at your aggressors while trying to dodge the worst of their onslaught. A lot of bullets are wasted as you strafe away from fireblasts and your targets fall out of your aim, but that's the price of carelessness. Just as you feel you have a chance to overcome these stacked odds, an unholy screams emits, filling the room with a further sense of dread. Because it's then you know that further hostiles exist. And they are right behind you!
More secret doors have slid open, but this time they have done so on floor levels. From one of these doors comes a swarm of Lost Souls, pesky flying skulls that swoop towards you with unpure intentions. From the other comes a stampede of Bull Demons, physically dominating beasts that see you as nothing more than snack sized. These new threats surge towards you with impossible speed, biting and tearing chunks out of your life. It's then you start to realise that you probably won't make it out alive.
So the sound of more doors opening is just insulting. Again, the bastards have got behind you.
Cacodemons emerge form their hiding places. Huge, bulbous spheres of decaying flesh that float a few feet from the ground and belch hellfire at you like it's going out of fashion. You strafe, you dodge, you let loose an onslaught of rockets and plasma fire to try and dissuade the hordes, but the numbers are too great. The bloodied mug staring back at you from your Heads-Up display panel, which records your health via its graphic deterioration, finally drops its gaze in defeat. You slump to the floor whilst the armies of hell turn on each other in a blood-lusting frenzy. They've won; you've lost.
A clever player would have seen that the exit didn't even require a keycard and walked unharmed past the altar and onto the next stage.
Doom isn't content to just wear you down with sheer numbers. Make no mistake, the constant waves of demons, zombies and hellspawns are in themselves quite the challenge, but the bigger threat is in how iD simply hates you. They want you to die frustrated; they want you to fall into tricks, traps and cunning designs. The first Doom does this well; the second does it flawlessly, but even if it doesn't have the sparkle of its sequel, it's still a perfect slice of insanity laced with murderous intentions. Kill or be killed; rack up the body count! It's you or them.
But watch your back -- there is always something wicked behind you.
4/5
Doom Eternal review: This is how it runs on PC. What is java edition minecraft. It's one of the best PC games you can play right. Hunting for collectibles in Doom Eternal is way more fun than it was in the previous game. One thing to note, all versions of Doom for the PC you still have to download the game. It only installs a very small part, then goes on STEAM to download approx 45gigs. I wish they did not do this as most of the country is going to data caps and I was trying to avoid downloading a big game.
