Doom Brilliantly Ridicules Modern Shooters
After 12 years, the new Doom has dropped, and it’s already on many lists for Game of the Year just on the strengths of its single-player content alone. True, the Snapmap feature is novel enough and the online multiplayer is as logically constructed as the biology of a platypus, but the crown jewel is its handling of a story mode in a genre that focuses too much on chasing and emulating Hollywood. Not only does id Software reject these modern trends, their campaign plays as a satire of modern shooters.
