Sarah Okita writes: I’ve been playing video games since the late ’80s, so I have some history with them. I played the original DOOM and DOOM2 when they came out in the mid ’90s. I feel like I’m back in the glory Doom days, with upgraded graphics, awesome weapons, and crazy as hell monsters. That is what DOOM is all about. The announcement that there would be a new DOOM title coming to next-gen consoles was welcomed with open arms. Why not? Bethesda’s recent backing of a new Wolfenstein game yielded a fantastic return of a different type of shooter. Wolfenstein, although it had been passed on to a new developer, was a hit with old school shooter fans. Unfortunately, DOOM was a game that Bethesda and id were mostly radio silent on. Aside from a couple of trailers and a poorly received multiplayer beta, we didn’t know much about the game at all. In fact, all we really had to go on was a multiplayer beta that felt really uninspired.
How do composers make the iconic music tracks from games that we love? And just what makes them so memorable?
Twitter is blowing up right now
All games coming to PlayStation
Next Xbox will have steam
Next Xbox niche and only for “gamers who want it” (it’s a really powerful pc or a steam deck type portable, or both)
Have you ever looked at a modern first-person shooter and wondered "How did we get here?" Wealth of Geeks performs a deep dive into the genre, including some of the most influential games, from the very first FPS from the cross-genre experiences that changed the game entirely.

You forgot one and it's a doozy. The weapon is kindness in undertale. :) defeats countless enemies.
hold up, im writing a letter to my congressman demanding this review be sent to prison so it does not affect metacritic. you ever spend time up river in review prison? of course not you're a person not a review. but let me be the first to tell you it's rough
The review is confusing. It mostly says all positive things but gives a 4 out 10? Weird... I don't get it.
"The game is frustrating, unfair ordeal to the rest of the normally outfitted players. Similar annoyances work their way into the experience as well, creating for what is in the fullness of time, a subpar addition to a promising piece of single-player content."
So doom is the dark souls of FPS's apparently 0.o
Doom is far from broken,controls respond well,graphics are refined,runs in HD on consoles and isn't bogged down with glitches like many other releases this gen.
I call foul on the review
this review doesn't make much sense, so now doom gets graded because of its mp?, as opposed to its primary which is campaign. is this why cod gets a free pass in reviews with its mp every year, because of the campaign getting reviewed only, even though that's not its primary component. oh look at what he/she gave uncharted 4, a 2 out of 10, i think this meets the definition of click bait.
