Doom

released on Dec 10, 1993

In the future, humans have left Earth and settled throughout the galaxy. On Mars, the Union Aerospace Corporation has established a radioactive waste facility and allowed the military to conduct teleportation experiments on the nearby moons of Deimos and Phobos. Hours ago, the base on Mars began receiving incoherent distress messages from Phobos, while Deimos has disappeared completely. With all attempts to establish contact failing, you and your team have been dispatched to investigate. Upon arrival, you secure the perimeter as the rest of your team enters the facility. As you stand guard, your radio crackles with the sound of gunfire, cracking bones and blood-curdling screams and eventually falls silent. Alone, with no way off the planet or means to defend yourself other than your trusty pistol, there’s only one way out - into the complex of death and the horrors that await you within. If you plan to get out of here alive you must fend off the hordes of demonic imps, haunting spectres and your undead, former comrades waiting to tear you limb from limb. So, grab the nearest shotgun and blast your way out of this fragging madness!

I mean, what's to say here, it's a classic and peak gaming

Kill demons, walk forward, kill more demons, complete the scenario, repeat.
It cannot get better than this... right...?

Sobre Doom (1993):
O clássico Doom de 1993. Responsável não somente por inspirar os grandes nomes do gênero FPS da indústria, como Call of Duty, Battlefield, Halo, Half-Life, Bioshock, entre muitos outros, mas também responsável, principalmente, por popularizar o gênero FPS.
Gameplay:
Doom (1993) tem um combate EXTREMAMENTE frenético, uma grande diversidade de armas e uma incrível trilha sonora que muda a cada fase. Os cenários, embora repetitivos, têm alterações.
Hordas de inimigos que carregam diferentes armas e movem-se de muitas maneiras tornam cada tiroteio diferente, juntamente com a já citada dinâmica do mapa que troca de lugar de acordo com o jogador.
O jogo apresenta uma história, mas na verdade o foco é 100% na gameplay.
O nível de dificuldade é bom e consegue ser desafiador, na medida que após sua morte a fase é reiniciada por completo e você perde suas armas.
Conclusão:
Doom é um clássico e envelheceu extremamente bem, pela gameplay rápida, fluida e frenética. Tudo no jogo funciona muito bem, e portanto eu recomendo para todos que desejam apreciar um bom FPS.

really love how smooth and satisfying the movement and gameplay in this are

Shockingly good. This is only an 8 out of 10 due to a few levels (mostly in the later half of the game) that really annoyed me, particularly e4m2 (fuck the platforming) and e4m6 (fuck lava floors), which felt designed that upon first run through you'd be out of heals and die. While e2m6 has the benefit of once you know what to do its fine, e4m2 really just...sucked.
I definitely plan on replying this one day with a secrets guide, and could easily see myself trying to beat levels faster and faster. The fact that a game from the early 90s is better than most games coming out today blows my mind.
