Fast paced, gritty, brutal and unforgiving at the higher difficulties. There is no way to sugarcoat it: ID has put their heart and soul into this and it shows. The action and gunplay is polished to a mirror shine as you hack, slice, shoot, vaporize, and pummel your way through Hell's Legions in a no-holds-bar fight to save humanity. The aesthetic of the game is sci-fi with a unique religious twist (a la "Night Sentinels"--now a key faction in Doom's universe), with the graphical fidelity that is, bar none, one of THE best on display in this game.

As mentioned before, the game has been polished to a mirror shine and this includes a lot of the stuff on the back-end as well. I'm running an Intel i7 core with an NVIDIA 1080ti and 16GB of RAM. I've have ZERO input lag, stuttering, or screen tearing. Even during the more intense and numerous-enemy fights, the game still runs at a buttery smooth 60 FPS.

This iteration of Doom is a technological marvel and is stuffed to the brim with feature-sets, easter-eggs, and nuance to keep the combat interesting while the A.I. is absolutely vicious in it's ability to find new and creative ways to turn the player inside-out (mentally and game-wise). And that is really saying something, since the basic goal of the game can be boiled down to "kill demons... A LOT of demons." lol

With non-euclidean maps that ooze with the aforementioned aesthetic and charm stuffed to the brim with interesting enemies (along with Mick Gordon's soundtrack THUNDERING in the background with a wide variety of electronic, acoustic, and vocal sounds that merge genres like Djent, Industrial, and Metal), this game is guaranteed to keep you entertained and guessing as to what is going to come next.

ID Software has, once again, managed to raise the bar where the FPS genre is concerned.
