This is the best shooter I have ever played in my life. It is everything I want in an FPS campaign. It's fast, furious, tight, angry, and psychotic. The platforming and movement are second to none. The Super Shotgun sounds like God shitting thunder. It is one of the most potent power fantasies in a video game, where you feel like you're capable of ripping and tearing demons from Hell to shreds and killing God himself just from pure testosterone-driven rage.

I have very little to say about Doom 2016 because so much of the game speaks for itself. I have no reverence for old Doom games because I did not grow up on them. But Doom 2016 is a masterclass of a video game. It's a smartly designed, well-oiled machine. And unlike Eternal, does not suffer from power creep or bloat in mechanics available to the player (hot take but eat my ass).

It's like 10 bucks on Steam. If you haven't played it, go play it. Now.
