I've played Doom demo on XB1 a while ago, and besides enjoying it quite a bit I felt intimidated by the lack of life regeneration (yeah, really). I upgraded my PC recently and bought the game almost as a benchmark tool at first (some gaffers may understand why, since I created some threads about the issue) cause I was expecting not to enjoy it nearly as much as I ended up liking.
The game is absolutely amazing! The gameplay is super sleek; it's fluid and fast. The game rewards exploration and gives the player quite open paths so you can find secrets and upgrade your character.
Every single enemy encounter is interesting, and fighting them helps you realize their patterns and their weakpoints making future controntations even more interesting since it will recquires the right strategy to defeat the multiple hordes of enemies that you will need to deal with through the game.
The weapons are amazing! I think other than the pistol, I really appreciated every single one of them and was constantly switching them to defeat different enemies, since some of them feels more effective against certain group of demons. The impact of the weapons, specially the shotgun, feels really, really great! The animations of enemies tearing into pieces in different ways depending on how you hit them is also a great touch, as when you hit a Gauss Cannon shot in their face or when you get a really good granade kill.
The action is intense and constant. The game gives you some room to breath so you can explored a taken area and upgrade your gear. While exploring you know that soon you will have to be prepared again cause you're gonna face a new horde and that's gonna be intense. And it actually feels good, cause the encounters in the game really shine, the enemy variety keeps them fresh till much later in the game.
It's also one of the best looking games I played to date. Even on XB1 it looks pretty awesome!
I took some screenshots while playing it, and compiled some gameplay videos I recorded into one (https://youtu.be/nem6xAMPuZs).
I can't say about the multiplayer mode cause I haven't played it (and probably won't either tbh), but in terms of single player experience I think this is the best fps I've played in quite a long time. The other more modern shooter I played that I enjoyed almost this much in terms of gameplay was Halo 5 (yes) but this one I liked even more cause the story was simple and yet fun, and the gameplay was overall considerably better with all the collectibles, upgrades and exploration provided.
I've finished it with 15 hours according to Steam, played on Hurt Me Plenty difficult and while never frustrating it was quite challagening sometimes imo. I'm glad I did buy it, cause it has shown me that a good modern game doesn't necessarily need to rely on the same formula (such as health regen).
I wish more modern AAA games were like that. It gives an old-school feeling at the same time it feels completely new and modern.
Actually, thinking about it, is Wolfenstein similar in these aspects? I'm planning on buying it later too.
