I originally gave this game a 4 out of 5, but after fully indulging myself into it by doing multiple playthroughs, watching hours and hours of review (check out ActionButton on youtube) and listening to the soundtrack for about a week straight, this game is genius.
You already know this is one of the most important games ever made, inspiring countless others to make FPS games, make WAD levels, make a level of adrenaline and speed not felt before. You cannot go over the history of video games without Doom.
Doom has such a level of speed that even backtracking is fun, I would go as far to say that this game has some of the best movement "feel" out of any FPS game. It just feels so good.
Every gun minus the pistol is legendary and needs to be experienced first hand to know how good it is. Once you shoot that shotgun everything just clicks in your brain and you're off.
The game is split into three chapters which basically go like this: Mars base, corrupted demonic Mars base, and Hell. All three of these chapters have exceptionally good and creative level design throughout. There are some levels that are really genius, especially considering how early the FPS genre was at this point. Carmack and Romero (the main developers) just nailed absolutely everything about the level design.
This is a top three video game soundtrack for me. Up there with Donkey Kong Country and Hotline Miami. Though they may have made some songs that are extremely similar to actual metal songs, I've never heard another soundtrack like Dooms. It sets the atmosphere perfectly for the game.
I could probably just keep talking about Doom forever so I'll end here, but trust me that this is one of the most important games ever. Every game made after Doom was influenced by Doom directly or indirectly.
I find it incredible that a game from 1993 made in a very new and somewhat primitive genre is far more fun than many games of today. I truly believe this game excels in every aspect.
