DOOM Review | LittleBigCritics

I’ve been playing video games since the late ’80s, so I have some history with them. I played the original DOOM and DOOM2 when they came out in the mid ’90s. I feel like I’m back in the glory Doom days, with upgraded graphics, awesome weapons, and crazy as hell monsters. That is what DOOM is all about. The announcement that there would be a new DOOM title coming to next-gen consoles was welcomed with open arms.  Why not?  Bethesda’s recent backing of a new Wolfenstein game yielded a fantastic return of a different type of shooter.  Wolfenstein, although it had been passed on to a new developer, was a hit with old school shooter fans.   Unfortunately, DOOM was a game that Bethesda and id were mostly radio silent on.  Aside from a couple of trailers and a poorly received multiplayer beta, we didn’t know much about the game at all. In fact, all we really had to go on was a multiplayer beta that felt really uninspired.
