DOOM 2016 is a highly enjoyable DOOM game that revived the classic DOOM atmosphere after a long break while staying true to its predecessors. Its greatest significance lies in its return after a long break, transforming from the darker and more horror-oriented DOOM 3 to a purely classic action version. It also laid the groundwork for the more advanced-paced and action-packed sequel, DOOM Eternal. While it is a superb action game, it doesn't quite match DOOM Eternal in terms of tempo and weapon ergonomics. However, this is not a flaw of DOOM 2016. On the contrary, the phenomenal success of DOOM Eternal owes much to DOOM 2016's stellar release and its financial and emotional triumph as the long-awaited DOOM game. Without DOOM 2016, the phenomenon of DOOM Eternal would never have existed. For this reason, DOOM 2016 is one of the most important action games of the last decade.
