Confession hour: I have never played a Doom game. Unless you count two hours of Doom 3 a decade ago, then OK you got me. The only old-school, OG, “Daddy” (or whatever the kids are calling it these days) FPS I played from the Doom era was Wolfenstein 3D on my family’s old Dell Dimension Desktop. Much like Doom it followed the formula of action first, gore second, level design third, with an irrelevant story jostled in somewhere after that. Recalling my experiences with Wolfenstein 3D I had an idea of what to expect from Doom and have been eagerly awaiting to see how the recipe holds up in today’s gaming world. Now that Friday the 13th has come and gone the wait is over and I can see for myself if this franchise still has what it takes to compete.
