Somehow I managed to spend 30 years of gaming and not getting around to playing Doom and that is a damn shame. I can confidently say that the Grand Father of the FPS genre is still a very enjoyable game to play in 2023. I was surprised at how many puzzles were in the levels. I always just imagined Doom as just a point A to B straight line kill em all but the puzzles and the bangin sound track kept levels fresh all the way through. The weapons were varied and fun to use even though i basically just used the shotgun and the plasma gun 95% of the time. If I would have played this when it first came out I feel like my nostalgia for it would be unreal and it would probably have been one of my favorite games growing up.

If you are someone that has never played this game but wanted to but also wasn't sure how it held up do youself a favor and try it out.

@nowitsreyntime17 thanks, I can definitely see my self coming back again for this soon. It’s got me excited to play them all. I did see you review for 3 so I’m skeptical I’ll try that one lol. I’ll probably play 2016 and eternal next.
noice, tho I do recommend doom 2 as well. Personally I like it more than 2016 but not eternal tho overall I like classic doom more than the reboots.

I don't blame ya I just started getting into the DOOMs and the ol' boomer shooters a few years ago. Now they are some of my favorites to experience! I do agree with @NOWITSREYNTIME17 about Doom 3, its a cool experience, but I never really cared for it too much. I definitely enjoy the classics more.

In my opinion, it's incredible how this game is still enjoyable even though it's dated.
i wouldnt say its "dated" at all
