Rip and tear. The 2016 reboot that brought Doom back with glory kills, a heavy-metal soundtrack and no time for talk.

About

Doom (2016) brought the series roaring back. The Doom Slayer wakes on a UAC facility on Mars that has opened a portal to Hell, and makes it very clear he isn’t interested in the company’s excuses.

It’s fast and aggressive by design: stagger a demon, finish it with a brutal glory kill for health, and never stop moving. Mick Gordon’s crushing soundtrack and the SnapMap level editor helped make it one of the great comebacks in games.
