The approach also leaves it to the player to figure out specific details, such as determining whether this game’s Doom Slayer protagonist is the same old, Doomguy or not. It’s basically a compromise that let’s story lovers flesh out its tale while also allowing folks to ignore it if all they want to do is point the thingy in their hands toward demons and blast away. Once again, you start out in Mars before literally going to hell and back then back again, but it’s up to you to search out story tidbits and fill in the blanks. The story, meanwhile, adopts a less is more approach. Add a nice collection of weapons that also throw in a chainsaw and a certain Doom staple with three letters (hint: Bravo Foxtrot Golf) and the combat is fun and tight. Regardless, it’s a fun mechanic that adds more to strategies to your arsenal on top of circle strafing and funneling while also making the Doom experience more visceral.
On the other hand, mindless Glory Killing can also land you right smack in the middle of a demon horde, which can quickly turn Doomguy into dead guy. On one hand, it’s great to save ammunition, gain health and also get that temporary window of invincibility while doing takedowns to get a brief reprieve from enemy attacks.
It’s a feature that will require some strategery as you don’t want to just mash that Glory Kill prompt when it shows up. This allows you to finish them off in gory - and at times comedic - fashion with your bare hands, conserving your precious ammo in the process while also giving you precious health. When you weaken a foe, they will give off a telltale shiny outline that basically says, take me down, por favor. To further diversify your options, Doom also throws in Glory Kills. The need to forage for resources also adds an extra bit of tension after a terrible performance as you find yourself desperately scrounging around while the low ammo and health indicators flash on your screen. It’s just like old-school gamers used to do before Master Chief came along. Just found yourself taking a pretty good beating from the minions of hell? Better find health items and armor to tide you over to the next engagement, buddy. This Doom requires you to commit to engagements with purpose and dedication instead of hiding around to wait for that health bar to fill up again.
Forget reloading and regenerating health. This game definitely subscribes to the adage, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, but maybe throw in a fresh coat of paint - and maybe a nod to some classic mods.” This means fast and furious shooting married to modern visuals that bring the old Doom style to the present. Thus you have the 2016 version of Doom, a testosterone-filled romp that unapologetically channels the series’ early heyday via an excellent campaign that brings its past screaming into the present.
