Does everything Todd promised oblivion would do, except several years ahead

it pretty ok

I'm not giving this game a fair try and I just want to vent my frustration.

Though the control scheme aged terribly, the combat system itself is fast, brutal, and most of all skill based. If you can make an enemy bleed, with enough skill you can kill them.

Also some great world building and internal consistency for a game based on practically nothing.

This patch doesn't do literally anything except for removing the bug that removes glow from elemental sniper rifles. Not worth installing.

Do not bother buying this game, the steam version simply does not work. I could not even get into the tutorial, the game had a 50% chance to crash at every screen transition before the tutorial starts. Tried for 2 hours, no fix found.

3.5/10
The game was short, story felt forced, 70 fov that cannot be changed in the campaign was terrible.

This feels like playing the classic doom all over again, just the way I remember it.
The guns are almost the exact copy of the original doom guns, excluding the alternate fire.
Runs great, it pushed my gpu to max of 27% usage as far as i noticed, permanent 60 fps.
If you played classic doom / doom 2, most of the demons are your old friend.
Dying feels fair and you rarely die to some cheap enemy bs.
Demons have just the right amount of health, and it doesnt scale up with difficulty, which is great.

I mean ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the super shotgun is just...

I like this game, there is not much bad I could call it out for
+Story is pretty good
+Characters have distinct personalities
+Gunplay feels nice
+Graphics are great if you take into account how old the game is
+Amazing destructible enviroment
-Had some trouble launching it for the first time (there is a fix for that in guides)
-Delta difficulty is the only one I finished the game on so far, and it felt way too unfair, unless I went for precise headshots it felt like I was playing airsoft, but the headshots always kill in 1 hit, so thats nice
-I experienced a small bug with mission objective not updating once, but solution to that was easy to find and I didnt even need to reload an older save

The open world is there, but to me it kind of felt like it being there just for the sake of being there, not much to do outside the mission objectives.
I would rate it a solid 8/10, its not just a glorified benchmark/tech demo like everyone says.

This game is pretty neat, it nicely combines stealth with high action gameplay.
+Story is well-written
+Combat is pretty fun as long as you dont mess up too bad
+Believable characters
+Runs very well on crappy machine
+Perk system feels smooth and you will most probably get all the skills around 80% into the game
+Well thought out death mechanics and nemesis system
-World is quite small
-Equipment wise all you got are runes for your weapons
-Game starts off annyoingly hard and gets extremly easy midway through, final bossfight is basicaly a stealth takedown
-Enemies seem like they are blind and deaf
If you want the game to be fun, dont upgrade health or get more than 3 rune slots, you will just get overpowered.
