I always get nervous when they reboot a franchise that I have nostalgia for. Doom classic is impossible for me to describe without coloring it heavily with my memories, so this reboot had me worried. Thankfully the team took the loss of Carmack in stride and produced what I feel is one of the best franchise reboots of all time. The overall presentation is fabulous, the pacing is amazing, the story is cohesive (for a change), and the game is technically impressive regardless of what platform it runs on (yes, even the Switch version looks great for the hardware). If you don't like heavy action titles or first-person shooters then obviously steer clear of this title. If you were on the fence then get off it and suit up. This has to be one of, if not, the best entry into the series.
