Don't get me wrong, this game is okay. Just not great/ "game of the year" material.

Pros:
1. Beautiful visuals
2. Okay level design (this is sort of also a con)
3. Snapmap. This is actually fun creating maps and playing maps with others.
4. Good player weapon variety.
5. EXCELLENT soundtrack. I was actually quite suprised how good the rock and electronic mix together.
6. Weapon upgardes. These add quite a variety to cater to different playstyles.

Cons:
1. Too much action, even for a Doom game. It's just one zone of demons to the next, with barely any sort of actual intelectual thinking happening in between as you do nothing more than left click with the occasional Q and weapon switch.
2. Pretty boring once you get to later sections of the game. This is because of constant repetative and mind boggling shooting over and over again.
3. Level design can be dumb/ platforming is nothing more than a chore
4. Too long campain. This game doesn't even have a good enough story (which when ever should a DOOM game have a story) to have it this long.
5. id software, why the living ♥♥♥♥ did you include exploding barrels when most of your enemy placement is never near them??!!!

Final Verdict:
7.5/10 for its asking price of $59.99. HOWEVER, since at the time of this review's writing, I purchased it for about $20, I will bump up the score to 8.5/10.

If these games are more of your thing, go ahead and buy it at full price. Me? I like these games, and while I did enjoy some parts of this, I would only spend 20 max on this game.
