Doom Eternal Final Review - IGN

Hail to the king.

SyntheticForm2249d ago

So happy that people are digging this game.

Looks so good, and I'm liking the overall difficulty ramp-up of the game. The constant, on-the-fly weapon changing with additional aerial and grounded movement makes the combat a lot more tense, interesting, and fun.

Been hearing nothing but good things from players.

Doom Eternal is too goofy, the platforming aspect feels out of place making the level design feel off because of it. The game's atmoshpere is lacking due to the goofiness. The 2016 game never took itself too seriously so why did they make Eternal feel like a parody of itself?

NukeDaHippies2248d ago

Don't listen too him, the platforming is quite fun. The game balances between the cheese and the serious well. It's not afraid of being a video game, and it works in it's favour.

Kornholic2248d ago

There are people who have the exact same criticism I have. The game doesn't balance between cheese and serious because it's all cheese now.

I'm enjoying it & it looks so much better than the 2016 version on the PS4 Pro far as design,graphics & resolution while the 2016 version looked washed out on the Pro.

SyntheticForm2249d ago

Sometimes the second time around is better.

The 2016 game came out just a few months before the Pro did, so maybe they just didn't have enough time for thorough optimization or they didn't bother.

This game runs well on Pro I'm told.

Elda2249d ago

The 2016 Pro version looks like it's washed out like you're playing in a fog while Doom Eternal looks sharp & crisp on the Pro.

BEASELY2248d ago

Play the game on PC with mouse and key do yourself a favor

Elda2248d ago

No thanks. I don't game on PC.

Pickledpepper2249d ago

The game is such a bore, ive just downloaded doom 64 and enjoying it so much more.
The new doom is so repetitive with no real objective apart from run gun jump repeat.
I prefer games with a bit more depth, heck even the original dooms had atmosphere and jump scares.
Ive tried to up the difficulty but its still a chore to play.
This is just my opinion, please dont let it put you off buying the game if its the type of game experience you like.

Kornholic2249d ago

I have my problems with the game but I'd still recommend buying it since it's still a better game than what we usually get.

frayed2248d ago (Edited 2248d ago )

I think what's commendable about what they've done with Doom Eternal is that it's gameplay over ALL else. It's also just gloriously indulgently over the top.

I can sort of understand the gripes some people have with the less serious tone, even than 2016, which I didn't feel was a "serious" tone at all. But it doesn't stick to a narrative tonal consistency, and I suppose that's a critique. However, it does have its own consistent vision. And the grandeur and detail of the levels offers a lot of atmosphere and charm.

Overall I like it more than 2016, but that's just becaue it's so much fun to play. The challenge is extremely rewarding as you gradually learn how to maximise your combat flow. To be honest, though, I never saw Doom as survival horror - apart from 3 - it was always more of a gorefest. And frankly the scare in Eternal is the intensity of the encounters and some of the more terrifying enemies.
