Doom for PC is the fourth game in a series and a return to the origins, being a reboot of the highly acclaimed game that is something of the great-great grandpa of modern gaming – the first edition was released on MS-DOS in 1993, shortly after personal computing became widely normalised. There would have been no double click to access the game: instead, commands would have to be typed into DOS to start play, that’s how long ago that was!

Doom for PC is the fourth game in a series and a return to the origins, being a reboot of the highly acclaimed game that is something of the great-great grandpa of modern gaming – the first edition was released on MS-DOS in 1993, shortly after personal computing became widely normalised. There would have been no double click to access the game: instead, commands would have to be typed into DOS to start play, that’s how long ago that was!
About the Game
The player takes on the persona of an unnamed Marine (called, variously: Doomguy, or Marine, or even Doom Slayer) who is tasked with battling the inhabitants of Hell who have been unleashed upon a freshly colonised Mars by the evil antagonist, employee of Union Aerospace Corporation, one Olivia Pierce who has been promised wonderful things by Satan.
Fellow corporation employee, Samuel Hayden wants to stop her – but first he has to uncover her secrets, and for that he needs the Doom Slayer who swings into action, despatching demon after demon as he gets on the case.
Levels follow fairly predictable patterns: beginning with Samuel giving Doom Slayer his orders, and ending with a massive ‘boss battle’-type scene but this adds a reassuring structure to an otherwise zany game in which anything can (and sometimes does) happen.
Best of the Old/ Best of the New
The game has received enormous praise for recapturing the beloved atmosphere of shooter games from the 90s, while combining it with modern graphics and physics engines to satisfy our ever more critical computing tastes: the painfully slow dial-up connections of the 90s would certainly not appeal to today’s gamers!
Many of the weapons, too, have been lifted from the original game for a nostalgic blast, but these too have been upgraded and given new and nasty twists that probably would not have been thought of in the pre-Internet (well, it was there, it just wasn’t all that widely used) days of the 90s. Weapons can be improved and upgraded, so more experienced players have better skills and more powerful weapons: a kind of exponential benefit of playing.
In each level, you will find access to one of the old-school game maps that are hidden until you stumble across them. Once found, they fit themselves into the map menu under the title of ‘classic maps’.
Ways to Play
Single player: ‘badass demons, big * guns and moving fast’ is the advice given by the game developers when talking about this mode. Doom Slayer is agile, speedy and facing opponents who are also fast and cunning. He can keep the edge, but only by staying sharp and not letting them overwhelm him or sneak up on him all unawares. There are thirteen maps to play through, but watch out for Ultra Nightmare mode which can lose your save point!
Multiplayer: this mode opens up the Doom world to the player with a huge variety of ways to play against other gamers. Deathmatches, freeze tag, King of the Hill and even a Battle Royale style fight to the death are all amongst the offerings in this mode. Winning – even just playing sometimes – awards experience points, these add up to accessing new levels, which unlocks new skins, weapons and other customisation features
Level Creation Tool: this mode is called ‘SnapMap’ and it allows players to create, edit and shape levels according to their own preferences and logic. While building the level, the game offers an aerial view, and any missed connections will show up in a different colour, so the connections can be installed. Levels can be test played before they are published
Doom for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

Every time I play this masterpiece I feel testosterone starting boil in my vains. This is one of the manliest game ever made. When you take a super shotgun with double barrel You become a GOD. Nothing can stand in your way. Not even God himself. I will return to to Doom Eternal to become DOOMSLAYER again. To be a MAN.
It was one of the first games i got a platinum trophy in on playstation. it has been one of my favourite games for a long time. if you are looking for some gore gameplay doom would be the game i would recomend.
Awesome bro. I gave the demons PTSD yo. Would definitely recommend?????I like the gameplay, the story, and the graphics are even better then 2021 ac Valhalla. But this game; best five bucks you will ever spend.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GAME EVER. I am a big red dead redemption fan but this is the best game i have ever played. It has so much gore and everything is soo fast i love it absolute game of the year.
This was one of the best games I played during the last 10 years.
It is definitely the must-play for everybody. Bethesda saw us that you don´t need to redefine a game and make it from the ground up in order for it to be successful.
Amazing Game!!! Spend a lot of time playing it since it's my first time playing a doom game and I completely enjoyed myself playing it! The story was amazing! The gameplay was easier than I thought and there was a good amount of game time to it so totally recommend it!
We were in a desolate land, with no good fps... And, all of a sudden, the creator, the god of all fps came back. He sat at the table, and showed us what he was capable of, a true prodige, an elaborated game.
a good game where you're a god destroying every ennemy. I never being bored and the game is finished in 20h for the story mod, but with all collectible and the arcade mod I have like 100+ hours and i still have fun.
If the story isn't good don't realy matter BUT when you are in a room locked because you need to listen the scenario and slow the gameplay who make this moment boring (it's like 5 minutes in all story mod and this is avoided in the arcade mod)
Multiplayer is the worst part of the game, sniper are broken and there is a little bit of cheater. It's unplayable.
Above that, the game is one of my favorite because it's one of the most violent, the fasted of fast fps and funny as hell.
I have never played any of the original doom games so when I bought this I was shrouded by sceptisim. But lord, was it worth it. This game is the pinnacle of making gamers feel like an absolute badass: shredding through the hordes of hell with a vast plethora of weapons which can be configurable to a dynamic range of scenarios; accompanied by a soundtracks which elevates you onto a plain of Gods, an invincible slayer. The story was very basic and stripped to the core, not making it palpable but this is acceptable as it allows the player to immerse in the ripping and tearing of demons. Honestly, DOOM(2016) was one of the most euphoric and satisfying single player shooters.
I played this game as a child and this game reminds me of good events and I love the old school remake games. We played it on some old shool PC and it was after Amiga and Comodore and Duke Nuken some advanture Game.. :)
