REIGN IN HELL
As the super weapon of gods and kings, shred enemies with devastating favorites like the Super Shotgun while also wielding a variety of new bone-chewing weapons, including the versatile Shield Saw.

НИКОГДА. НИ-КО-ГДА не понимал типов которые осуждают дум етернал и дум зе дарк ейджес то за слишком легкий геймплей, то за слишком тяжелый геймплей, ведь если ты просто решил спамить лкм-мом, то тебе даже не стоит покупать эти игры, а так я очень советую эту игру
It doesn't matter what I do, what settings I put. I get constant microfreezes while playing. For me 100% unplayable and that is sad, because with the rig I have it should fly in term of performance. This is it for me. If you are having the same issues, don't bother trying to fix it, 1000 solutions and no concrete answer. If you are within the refund window, refund it.
I made it to Chapter 19 on Nightmare and quit. Easily the worst of all the modern Doom games. Combat is just a series of neverending quick times, and laughably easy. They tried to put a story in the game and it just doesn't work. Why do I have to listen to some NPCs sob story? I don't care about her or her dad. I want to put the fear of God into Demons. There are points in the game where you don't even feel like the main character; it is bizzare. Awful.
Weapons, environments and enemy design are all completely forgettable. Nothing has any bite or personality, everything's insipid and uninspired. The soundtrack does nothing to compensate, it's just there, and goes unnoticed five minutes after you hear it. Combat's nothing but a Simon-says QTE simulator. Green flash = slowmo parry, built for ADHD brains that need a constant win state fed to them. No flow to it, just an endless string of QTEs. On top of that you get the dragon and turret sections thrown in as padding completely disconnected from the actual combat loop, breaking whatever pacing the game had going on. Marvelsop tier writing, supposedly serious cutscenes chopped off mid-line to dump you back on the chapter select screen. Whatever narrative momentum they're trying to build gets killed at the end of every single chapter. 79.99€ slop that recommends a 3080 to look worse than 2016 btw.
Así me gustan los juegos, para hombres muy machos!
Just doesn't hit the same as 2016 and Eternal.
Cool game, DLC made is x20 better. Welcome back Doom Eternal.
Жду мод с музыкой от Мика Гордона
