In an age when most game devs have become lazy, id Software is back to show us DOOM remains a behemoth which has stood the test of time amongst the biggest games of this medium.
The game may look hard or even annoying for new players but don't be discouraged to play it. Each challenge is designed very carefully to teach players something. Each battle is crafted with a look of thinking and every one of them have a unique point.
DOOM Eternal forces you to play well. Between the games which have a high skill ceiling like DMC or fighting games, DOOM Eternal is designed celeverly to push new players into the "fun zone" and actually DOOM Etartal is much easier than many games to begin the process of getting good. After a while of playing this game, although you know there is room for improvement but definitely you feel like a pro player and this feel is amazing.
I don't have to say much about the graphics. Just look at a few screenshots and witness the awe. But I can add the fact that thanks to the game's genius technical team, DOOM Eternal is really really well optimized on PC.
Eternal's music is fantastic as you may have heard it's soundtracks. The music fits perfectly with the games mood and setting and it enhances the games feel to a new level.
The game is violent, but in a mostly funny and never disturbing way. It is more like "Tom and Jerry with blood for adults" than some sadistic violent thing.
Last but not least, now DOOM has a story and to my surprise it is fantastic! I have never dreamed of DOOM having some lore, let alone having a lore so interesting as this. Even if you don't have patience to read all of the codex pages (read them in between the levels to get a better sense of locations history imo) get the lore from somewhere like a YouTube video.

In an age when most games do a lot of things and don't have any interesting innovations or perfections in anything, DOOM Eternal is doing a few things great or even perfect.
DOOM Eternal is a near perfect game. (I say "near" for margin of error and really minor stuff)
Thanks id Software for making a game with love. This masterpiece shows that there is still some passion in this artform.


A little defence about common criticisms on DOOM Eternal:
Some people say this games platforming is bad. The platforming is not the high point of the game but it slows down the pacing between the fights and makes room for breathing. On the other hand, the platforming moves the player between epic places of this game. Without it we would had to just wait in elevators to move between set pieces and I prefer to have an active transition over the passive one. Movement is one of the most important skills in DOOM Eternal and the game even in the slow parts helps you to grow accustomed to the movement mechanics.
I spoke about the game's difficulty earlier and its importance in making players stronger and making the game fun. There were some debate about the Marauder enemy type and although it was hot when the game launched and now it is not that big of a deal, I have to say in fact the Marauders are great. When you think you can kill everything by brute force the game tells you "NO!" and throws a new enemy type at you. The Marauders make you play carefully and If you know how to dance with them (Don't get too close to them because they themselves will come at you and perform their flashy green attack) they make the game more fun.
And also if you don't like story in a DOOM game (while I said it is good) all of the story stuff and cutscenes are completely optional and skippable.

DOOM Eternal is an absolute masterpiece and one of the best games ever created.
