Doom

Jesus Christ this game is phenomenal. Doom is definitely up there with some of the best single-player shooters of this entire generation. There are so many positive things to say about Doom that I don't even know where to start. I guess I could start by saying the gameplay is a polished reboot of the series and id Software has done a great job of making Doom stand out and be unique among a large crowd of mediocre shooters by making smart design choice after smart design choice, such as not having the ability to reload but constantly acquiring ammo from dead enemies which means you can never cower behind cover and peak shot every five seconds, you are constantly running all over the place during combat because if you stay still, you will inevitably die and that really helps the overall pacing of the gameplay. And Doom is one of the few shooters that works just as well with a controller as it does with a keyboard and mouse, maybe even better. Doom is much more entertaining than your typical shooter too. In a standard shooter, you shoot a guy and he dies right? Same does for Doom obviously except you don't just shoot your enemies, you absolutely annihilate them in the most ludicrous, gory, and over the top way possible especially when you have crazy guns like the BFG, Super Shotgun, Chaingun, or the Gauss Cannon at your disposal as well as having the newly implemented "glory kill" mechanic which has unique animations for each type of enemy you're fighting as well as where you initiate the Glory Kill. It's all fun as hell (no pun intended) and playing on higher difficulties is optimal because it handles difficulty better than most games and it'll really push you to your limit and force you to use every single weapon in your arsenal to defeat the hordes of demons and it almost never grows stale. The boss battles are great and the intense Metal soundtrack is incredible and adds so much to an already fantastic game. My only complaints are multiplayer which feels kinda tacked on but that's to be expected when it's mostly a single player experience and its just so good that I couldn't care less about the multiplayer, and the story is painfully unmemorable. Seriously, I forgot certain characters and plot points almost immediately after they were introduced. All in all, Doom is fantastic and I think that if Doom Eternal builds off of this game by making some improvements to the story, adding more variety in the gameplay, and maybe improving the multiplayer, it could definitely reach god-tier status with me.
