Doom, magnifico y pesado. Si te gusto el 2016 lo vas a disfrutar, si lo tuyo es el Eternal, con el DLC lo vas a pasar increible. Para mi un 9/10
i didn't love it as much as i loved Eternal but it is still an awesome Doom game! Revelations DLC is also amazing and was probably some of the best Doom content i've ever played. also it ran very well on CachyOS. about 100fps at all times. lowest it got to was ~95fps. settings medium-high. didn't even get mods to disable the force-raytracing. one of the most optimized games i've ever played!
топ из серии DOOM
Es el mejor shooter que jugué por lejos, eso si no entendí nada del lore pq no jugué los anteriores, cuando los juegue voy a reejugar este.
优化好,又爽玩;求你了加一个新游戏+吧
I liked this one even more than Eternal. Lots of fun! It didn't drag-on XD WARNING: Hurt Me Plenty is actually too easy, I'm a very casual/stoner player and didn't use any life sigils and only died less than a dozen times. I will choose the next difficulty level up next time. My only complaint was the gunship chases??? I'd would've preferred to just follow a waypoint and take in the scenery instead. The chase drowned out all the cool art.
Just got done with the campaign on nightmare and I have to admit I should have bought it sooner. I'm a big fan of the series and this last entry in thoroughly enjoyable and plenty challenging. I'll update once I finish the DLC... Two thumbs up!
Holy F, this game is AMAZING! I skipped it on release after reading that it was slower than the previous one because of the shield mechanics — but that’s not true at all. The level design is fantastic too, especially the Lovecraftian maps. I love those the most. Stop reading this and just go buy the game. F Microslop for firing the id Software people.
