Sarah Okita writes: 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.

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
The video game industry is already so creative, but one thing that can be improved is its handling of space.
After watching Scavengers Reign? The answer is unequivocally yes. I really want something out of left field but I think people are too afraid to shake things up.
It's what I love about Shadowrun and Black Mirror. Love, Death, and Robots proved that there's an audience for stuff that doesn't fit the mold.
Weird games in general we don't get enough of, we need more games like Katamari and Mr domino, things like that
The iconic demon-slaying shooter just got a corporate makeover—perfect for pretending to work!
hold up, im writing a letter to my congressman demanding this review be sent to prison so it does not affect metacritic. you ever spend time up river in review prison? of course not you're a person not a review. but let me be the first to tell you it's rough
The review is confusing. It mostly says all positive things but gives a 4 out 10? Weird... I don't get it.
"The game is frustrating, unfair ordeal to the rest of the normally outfitted players. Similar annoyances work their way into the experience as well, creating for what is in the fullness of time, a subpar addition to a promising piece of single-player content."
So doom is the dark souls of FPS's apparently 0.o
Doom is far from broken,controls respond well,graphics are refined,runs in HD on consoles and isn't bogged down with glitches like many other releases this gen.
I call foul on the review
this review doesn't make much sense, so now doom gets graded because of its mp?, as opposed to its primary which is campaign. is this why cod gets a free pass in reviews with its mp every year, because of the campaign getting reviewed only, even though that's not its primary component. oh look at what he/she gave uncharted 4, a 2 out of 10, i think this meets the definition of click bait.
