Not the best way to play Doom (obviously) but it's insane they ported this with almost zero gameplay compromises despite being like less than half the file size on any other console.The framerate is lower and the textures are paste but these are still the same sprawling levels without loading screens midway through and thats enough for me to call the experiment a success.
This game is fucking great. It's got a lot it does well but has a small amount of issues that hold it back just a bit.
The gameplay carries the shit out of this movie. It's energetic, fast paced, and blood pumping. Shooting demons at such a quick pace is super addicting and I love that you get so many weapons allowing you to approach every encounter in many ways. It's fun and holds the game together. The visuals look great, the switch port is actually pretty solid, and this game holds up really well.
The only things that hold down the game is the story, finale, and exploration but it's just minor things though. Like, the story was fine but I wish we got more of Olivia on screen compared to logs. The final boss was fairly disappointing as it's just a medium sized spider and not what the game has been holding up to but it was still fun. The exploration is great but dying after falling and having some areas way too difficult to find makes it not super rewarding.
Overall, an excellent game with minor things holding it down. A+ tier.

Actually sick as hell and it runs as well as it possibly could. Load times are a little old fashioned but nothing out of the ordinary. Comparable to other major Switch titles like Breath of the Wild or ports like Wolfenstein 2, but there's hardly any stutter.
The graphics are honestly great so long as you're just playing the game and you're not stopping to count the vertices of a barrel. You're supposed to run and jump around and shoot stuff and if you're doing that you're gonna find yourself wondering how it looks so good. HD rumble and a pair of headphones really sell the experience too.
The gameplay is TIGHT, you can really get into it. Finding the zenith between the difficulty level, the motion controls and your layout is unmatched. This has to be what it felt like to play the original because there's nothing else like this as far as I know.
Of course I haven't played Eternal yet, so...

I replayed this on the switch mostly for the motion controls but also cause of Doom: The Dark Ages as I'm sorta excited and hyped
Game still holds up very well! it has a good level progression to it and a lot of good design and enemy encounters. Some of the areas feel a bit too cluttered for my liking but I enjoy how things escalate. I do wish the bosses were better but that's just me. Weapons feel punchy and satisfying with really good detail to the sound and modeling and the visuals are good! I think it still looks good for the system even with the more obvious downgrades.
I still hold this up as a great FPS of it's decade that I'd recommend regardless on what system you play it on
