The titular Doomguy can mantle up ledges with ease, while unlocked double jumps and speed boosts make him even more versatile. DOOM has always been about rapid play, but player viewpoint was locked to a single axis. It wouldn’t be beyond belief to suggest this is a new peak for the genre. DOOM is brutally dumb fun, but it’s also host to some of the slickest first-person combat I’ve ever seen. The big question hanging over everything was how you take something so resolutely 90s and bringing it screeching and screaming into 2016. How DOOM 3 is remembered now says it all. The third was an awkward ode to Half-Life an attempt at a story-driven horror adventure that, while it had the facade of DOOM, never really had the spirit. The originals ushered in first-person shooters to the world. Id Software backed itself into a corner with the DOOM reboot. DOOM takes that thinking and shreds it to pieces with the jagged end of its chainsaw.Įvery fibre of logic says this shouldn’t be the case. They needed a thinly threaded reason for doing so. People wouldn’t want to just rip and tear through bloodied levels. All we’ve force fed for years is linear cinematic shooters with melodramatic plots and empty bombast. DOOM in 2016 has no right to be any good.
