About Doom Eternal

Doom Eternal is a first-person shooter developed by id Software and the sequel to Doom (2016). Players control the Doom Slayer as he fights to end a demonic invasion of Earth. Combat is built around aggressive resource management, where health, armor, and ammo are gained by executing, igniting, or chainsawing enemies. The game introduces platforming segments, destructible enemy weak points, an expanded weapon arsenal, and a multiplayer mode called Battlemode, where one player-controlled Slayer fights two player-controlled demons.

Score moved from 1,500 to 1,881 ELO points over the last 170 days.

    Played this right after Half-Life 2, my brain nearly broke

    BioShock tiene atmósfera, este tiene VELOCIDAD, y la velocidad gana casi siempre en mis votos

    QuestRunner25

    Half-Life 2 rewards patience and this one punishes it completely, honestly I miss slowing down sometimes... my thumbs don't though

    Matteo_2007

    Did the fever dream part come from the music or just the pace of everything happening at once?

    RogueDragon

    The chainsaw timing thing genuinely changes how you play once it clicks... before that it just feels chaotic

    Moi aussi je regrette parfois de pas pouvoir souffler, mais cette vitesse c'est justement ce qui me manque dans Half-Life 2

    Oh sure, another masterpiece where I panic-glory-kill my way through a tutorial for six hours

    LuckyHunter

    Half-Life 2 makes you think your way through a room, this one makes you survive it, which one actually needs more skill though?

  3. QuestDragon93

    Half-Life 2 makes you plan, this one makes you react, reaction reaction reaction until your brain stops asking questions and your thumbs just know, I switch between the two depending on whether I want to think or just breathe for an hour

  4. Audrey_55

    Only played a few hours so far but honestly the constant resource juggling stresses me out more than it excites me, might just not be my genre anymore

  5. McClure30

    this game gets way too much love for a corridor shooter with a skin

    Ibáñez5

    Yo también lo jugué justo después de Half-Life 2, la diferencia de ritmo se siente muchísimo
