As someone who loves FPS games in general (or tries to, despite my right wrist disagreeing with it sometimes), I felt like I should play this eventually. I just never got around to it, but I figured it 30-year anniversary was the perfect time to hop on. The original version of DOOM released like 6 months after I was born, too.

Level design can be annoying, and I've never fucked too heavily with old ass FPS because I like actually aiming at what I want to shoot instead of just shooting in the general direction of enemies, but it was a pretty fun game nonetheless.

Game's surprisingly easy most of the time, too, save a few spikes (dark areas with the mostly-invisible enemies are pretty cheeky). But Episode 4 sure was some shit in that first stage...

Anyway, if they hordes of Hell didn't wanna get fucking owned, they shouldn't have stockpilled so many shotguns.
