One of the first video games I ever played. With where I come from being such a "disconnected" place, people were using PC DOS well into 2010. Around this time my father installed a multitude of titles in his device for me to play. Mostly old classics such as Road Rash, The House of the Dead and of course, The Ultimate Doom. Playing this game on DOS is much different than playing it on some of the modern engines. For starters, you couldn't use the mouse. But hey, I had tons of fun with it. Stuck to the easier difficulties of course. Recently, I went back and replayed it on one of the newer engines, GZDoom, and it was an entirely different experience. Alongside the fast-paced and mostly well balanced gameplay, this game comes with memories of my childhood which makes it one of my all time favorites.

In einem Stream beendet. Nicht das erste mal, nicht das letzte mal.

Doom 1 is guuuut und clever und durchdacht und eine sehr gute Grundlage für ein Genre das trotzdem schafft noch eine eigene Persönlichkeit zu haben mit einem coolen Look und cooler Persönlichkeit.

Macht Spaß, könnte aber gelegentlich darauf verzichten einfach noch einen Raum voller Pinkies zu verwenden.

Note: I gave the base game a five star review, seminal hit that it was, and obviously as a whole this game is worth five stars because it contains the entire base game. But I'm giving this score simply as a review of the additional chapter (Thy Flesh Consumed).

Doom is fantastic but is only as good as its levels, and while the levels in the expansion are very interesting and experimental, they also feel unpolished and rather ill-suited to the engine. Having plenty of vertically-oriented sections without vertical mouselook capability, and platforming sections without the ability to jump smacks of artificial difficulty. But perhaps the thing that most detracts from the experience is the paucity of health packs. Take a game that's miserly with its health bonuses in which you can save anywhere, and you end up incentivizing save-scumming.

It definitely had its moments, but was noticeably weaker as an experience than the original Doom.

Este año esperaba cualquier cosa menos acabar enamorándome tanto de este videojuego, una experiencia de pesadilla mientras destruyes todo lo que parezca moverse, un juego que se regodea y explota al máximo su hyper-violencia, su brutalidad, su propia estética o limitaciones.

Una estética única refleja el propio infierno, los niveles son laberintos, pasillos, campos de batallas, lugares que se siente artificiales creados para que los pasee un jugador, pero eso es precisamente lo que lo vuelve enorme, construye el infierno solo para que sea explorado por un jugador, no le importa si es realista, si no tiene ningún sentido como son cada uno de sus niveles, si no que abraza su propia naturaleza para crear un entorno que solo existe en este medio, un infierno de pixeles.
Y precisamente por esto los niveles se sienten vivos, son un elemento vivo lleno de secretos, pasillos, puertas, llaves que encontrar, trampas y enemigos, el propio entorno se convierte en otro enemigo al que derrotar, un elemento vivo al que debemos superar para poder seguir en nuestro descenso a los infiernos.

Este juego es enorme y me parece completamente normal que sea tan importante en la historia del videojuego, porque es único, completamente genuino y tan libre para crear su propio mundo en este medio de una manera que pocas veces se verán.

Doom fue un gran impacto y paso importante en el mundo de los videojuegos pero más específicamente en los shooters, estableciendo las bases que hacen un buen fps un buen fps, excelente combate, un buen diseño de niveles, enemigos con características distintivas que cuando juntos forman variados escenarios de combate, y claro, la música. También en el apartado tecnologico fue una maravilla para su tiempo, permitiendo el motor hacer gala de mapas más complejos, con cambios de iluminación y etcétera, dando así una ventana más amplia de posibilidades para niveles.

En cuanto a la expansión Tu Carne Consumida, sólo diré que: La puta que te pario McGee

Not much to say here, it's Doom. I have to admit that I'm not very good at it, oftentimes I just like to switch on god mode and all weapons and just zone out, which is made fun simply by the labyrinthine level design and the rhythm of the gunplay itself. God mode in COD for example wouldn't be nearly as interesting, the focus there is on a Michael Bay-esque overwhelming of the senses, wherein the popping in and out of cover amidst a hail of gunfire provides the central tension and rhythm; remove that tension and you have nothing. Doom's is based on movement and the haunted house-style enemy placement and level design which facilitates a need for the player to maintain 360 degree awareness, thus greater attention is paid by the player to the environment itself, item placement, etc. Just very engrossing, all things considered. Oftentimes though I'd switch on God Mode because the game reeks of artificial difficulty by way of just throwing waves of enemies at you when you're low on ammo and health, thus incentivizing save scumming and after a while the gameplay does begin to feel a bit repetitive. I'm ultimately more interested in playing Doom 2 which based on people on here's reactions is the superior game all in all.

NOTE: This review and score is only for new episode 4, i gave original three episodes 8 out of 10

DOOM is an old game, but it still holds up today. If you can adapt to gameplay once you will like the game. Level design is pretty great too, enemy placement is very good and nothing is really that hard. BUT HOLY FUCK WHAT IS WRONG WITH EPISODE 4

First of all i REALLY HATE the art design of levels. They feel so dull and uninspired. Level designs are pretty bad too, sometimes it feels too small, sometimes it feels way to large. Original 3 eps is perfect in scaling the maps - but ep 4 is very weak. And enemy placement is a sick joke. Look i am not the pro gamer 69 xxx but still i can stand the all the difficult bs, but not in ep 4. Bad level design combined with stupid enemy placement, game gets really hard.

Other than its bad sides still it is DOOM. Ep 4 really drags down the score but still play the game, especially first 3 eps.
