Doom Eternal Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Doom Eternal is a bigger and better sequel in practically every way. It has fast and frenetic combat, an unrelenting horde of enemies and some truly epic moments throughout its well-paced campaign. It’s everything a sequel should be and easily one of the best shooters I’ve ever played. Make no mistakes, Doom Eternal is Doom at its best.
Doom: Eternal did the impossible and surpassed its already great predecessor in every regard. Its few flaws aren't the result of a lack of effort. On the contrary, they're the inevitable hiccups that come with the developers' ambitious attempts to do everything they envisioned for this sequel. Naturally, not all their ideas will work as well as they intended. But even so, Doom: Eternal remains one of the most innovative and empowering FPS games of recent memory. Time has been and will be kind...
"That thing is so well optimized it could run on a toaster." is a saying that rings true on Steam Deck for Doom Eternal. Killing demons has never been so easy on-the-go.
As luck would have it, Isabelle’s friend, the Slayer from the DOOM franchise, has come to the Nintendo Switch. Earth has been overrun by demons who have
It's Hell on Earth and only one person can repel the demonic invasion. The DOOM Slayer is back to unleash his fury upon the legions of Hell with a host of powerful new abilities, weapons and fearsome demons to put them to work on.
Tearing its way onto the Nintendo Switch, ready to put its foot through your chest and rip out your soul is Doom Eternal. Fans have had to endure 9 long months for the port but trust me, it was worth the wait. The demons at Panic Button must have worked with Satan himself in order to bring this hellish title, in all its bloody glory, to the Switch.
In Doom Eternal, ripping and tearing has never felt so good, even if the last few chapters really test your patience.
It’s only when you stop playing, feeling somehow frazzled, energised, and jittery, that you realise the game has as much in common with the audiovisual arts as it does with a double-shot of espresso.
Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods Part 2 gets back in the swing of things.
As a solo experience, Doom Eternal is simultaneously better and worse than its predecessor. It makes a lot of small changes that generally work, but also speak to a misunderstanding of the original. While changes to movement via the grapple system are largely excellent and improve the already fantastic combat system, changes to progression and story presentation just slow down what had previously been an incredibly fast-paced thrill ride. When Doom Eternal gets past its secondary elements and just allows itself to be Doom, it outdoes Doom 2016 without question. Multiplayer is, however, a signi...
Doom Eternal rips & tears up its quality for worse on Nintendo Switch, but grants an incredible wish by letting players take the highly addictive FPS anywhere.
