Just got to play this for a little bit last night (resulting in me being late for work). this game is crazy fun and it is VERY VERY fast gameplay. I really didn't fully appreciate how fast it would be until I sat down to pay it myself. Omg wow you race around 100 miles an hour and yet the gameplay is very smooth, tight and responsive. The only problem with the gameplay is that I couldn't stop playing.
This is a proper reboot of the doom games and feels just like it always did. One dead give away was the amount of reversing I had to do, especially when I met my first hell knight. wow those guys need to seriously chill OUT! Its very much like brutal doom in the way that when you brow up enemies there body parts explode into little pieces and their entrails are dripping down off the walls and ceiling. This game is NOT FOR CHILDREN it is extremely violent. Some of the glory kills are seriously messed up, very cool but it would give kids nightmares. I think my favourite two are where doom guy grabs an imps jaw and rips its head clean open, its as nasty as he can be. He also rips off limbs and used then to beat the demons in the face with lmao....so so good.
The objectives are very easy to follow and the maps are very straight forward. Some of the rooms (arena areas) are very big so you have lots of space to run around. Some rooms are not so forgiving so be careful not to get cornered. Demons can be on you just as fast as you can move.
I had a look at snap map and I just know that will be the ruin of any social life I had once. Its like a massive Lego box and you can literally create your own game if you want, though there are limits to the amount of stuff you can put in each room so your ps4 doesn't explode. You can make gauntlet runs like Raid Mode or "Bloody Palace" like from Devil may cry, with the click of a few buttons. You can come up with amazing ideas and bring them to life. Not only that but you can play them instantly and so can your friends around the world. I have taken a day off work to sit down with this properly and give it my full attention. this is something I don't usually do but this game really deserves it.
I don't care about multi player for any game so I'm not going to start with this. Sorry I have no idea if the multiplayer is ok and I don't care either.
The main campaign is an absolute buzz to play though and worth purchasing for this alone, especially if you are a speed junkie.
Make sure you don't stand around for too long because you will die very quickly. Keep moving and always assume that there is a demon coming up behind you. Oh and by the way, I would try to remember to BLINK during gameplay. I swear my eyes were almost bleeding after 2 chapters of this. Don't underestimate how fast this game is, its just as fast as the original doom and I actually think its got more gore in it.
I am proud to be a doom owner and for the teams that put all this together. they deserve a huge shout out of respect for bringing this series back to its original roots in proper style. This is pure carnage, I actually started feeling sorry for the demons I came up against.
This is how you reboot a game! To hell with cut scenes or taking a break (although rubbing your eyes every few minutes is advised, you know, before they fall out of your head). To hell with being nice or understanding what is happening around you.
You have one thing to do in this game - KILL EVERYTHING!
Make no mistake, it is worth every penny and it also should be encouraged.

STORY
You’ve come here for a reason. The Union Aerospace Corporation’s massive research facility on Mars is overwhelmed by fierce and powerful demons, and only one person stands between their world and ours. As the lone DOOM Marine, you’ve been activated to do one thing – kill them all.
Developed by id Software, the studio that pioneered the first-person shooter genre and created multiplayer Deathmatch, DOOM returns as a brutally fun and challenging modern-day shooter experience. Relentless demons, impossibly destructive guns, and fast, fluid movement provide the foundation for intense, first-person combat – whether you’re obliterating demon hordes through the depths of Hell in the single-player campaign, or competing against your friends in numerous multiplayer modes. Expand your gameplay experience using DOOM SnapMap game editor to easily create, play, and share your content with the world.
KEY FEATURES
A Relentless Campaign
There is no taking cover or stopping to regenerate health as you beat back Hell’s raging demon hordes. Combine your arsenal of futuristic and iconic guns, upgrades, movement, and an advanced melee system to knock-down, slash, stomp, crush, and blow apart demons in creative and violent ways.
Return of id Multiplayer
Dominate your opponents in DOOM’s signature, fast-paced arena-style combat. In both classic and all-new game modes, annihilate your enemies utilizing your personal blend of skill, powerful weapons, vertical movement, and unique power-ups that allow you to play as a demon.
Endless Possibilities
DOOM SnapMap – a powerful, but easy-to-use game and level editor – allows for limitless gameplay experiences on every platform. Without any previous experience or special expertise, any player can quickly and easily snap together and visually customize maps, add pre-defined or completely custom gameplay, and even edit game logic to create new modes. Instantly play your creation, share it with a friend, or make it available to players around the world – all in-game with the push of a button.
Pure DOOM
This game is the Doom I remember form my childhood, fast paced and unforgiving with all the old demons coming back for this reboot, the game play delivers the speed and intensity of the original game key cards, weapons and all. The campaign has a good length and I found fairly challenging on the harder difficulties the multiplayer is good but not great with good pacing and maps but no real longevity to my mind, also the map design and share feature is terrific and already has amazing content and potential.
