Consider id Software back on form! Doom (2016) is a shining blood-covered light in the first person shooter genre, which if we're all honest is usually dominated by slow, prodding corridor shooters. Doom feels vibrant, fresh and original - which is weird really as so much of its gameplay is borrowed from the series' past.

Combat feels sometimes headache-inducingly fast, but you know in a good way, and the number of guns on offer feel extravagant and varied. Environments are streamlined yet full of secrets if you explore a little bit and the New Game + encourages you to try levels again with all the perks you've earned from previous playthroughs.

This is probably the most fun shooter campaign I've played for a good long while and I never thought I'd say this again, but I'm actually excited to see what id put out next which after Quake 4 and RAGE is a bit of a miracle really.

Welcome back Doom guy, thanks for restoring my faith in the godfathers of the FPS.
