крутое музло, крутой геймплей, палач унижает
è doom. non c'e bisogno di consigliarlo. è solo da giocare e amare
Gráficos espectaculares. Modo de juego es una locura. La historia no está mal, me gustó más Ethernal, pero ésta no está mal. John Carmak es un genio. Doom forever. Por fin empiezan a añadirles puzles interesantes. Me encantó.
Parry. Shoot. Bonk. Execution I like dominating over hot demons. Especially when they are huge, and have huge guts.
HELLO CEO OF DOOM I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO GET EXECUTED IN GAME I JUST SPENT 5 HOURS OF MY CHUD LIFE TO GET THE FINAL BOSS ON ULTRA NIGHTMARE TO DIE IN 30 SECONDS KINDLY I HOPE SOMETHING HAPPENS TO YOU THANK YOU MR CEO FOR READING MY REVIEW THANKS
Le jeux de base est bon même si il peut décevoir certains par rapport à eternal. Il est moins nerveux et moins difficiles que ce dernier. Il n'est cependant pas lent du tout ça reste quand même un très bon jeu. Mais le DLC est pour moi meilleur qu'eternal, il ajoute la lance qui permet de double dash et de l'utiliser comme un grapin de la même manière qu'avec le super shot gun d'eternal. La lance améliore vraiment énormément le gameplay et pour ceux qui jouerons dans les plus hautes difficultés le dlc est très exigeants et demande de maitriser toutes les mécaniques qui sont très riches notamment avec la possibilité de switch entre le bouclier et la lance instantanément ou chacun sera utile pour des raisons différentes et encourage à switch énormément entre les deux en tout cas c'est comme ça que j'ai utilisé les mécaniques à dispositions. Dommage que la majorité du studio est été viré par microsoft le jour de la sortie du dlc... . J'espère que le studio pourra tout de même continué à sortir des doom et ça avec la même qualité et richesse qui caractérise les doom depuis 2016 toujours avec cette envie dévolué et d'innover.
I strongly recommend this. It’s a very unique flavor shooter the likes of which I haven’t really seen before. It has impeccable art and design work, and I haven’t even touched the DLC. Load times are instantaneous, and it’s also a decent length for an FPS. I’m glad that id were able to devote themselves just to the story. It’s a really good game. I’ll never forgive Microsoft for even touching any of the staff who worked on it.
Fantastic game! I know the changes are controversial, but I enjoyed discovering DOOM at a different pace. And the DLC is a HUGE infusion of the Doom Eternal DNA, but still retains the parrying system. Also, it's extremely well optimized. The game runs smooth, loading times are short, and even has flawless support for 32:9 resolution. All around excellent experience, thanks ID Software for another stellar game. Sorry Microsoft treated y'all like dirt
It's perfect.
You can play mechs!
