Just pure adrenaline-fueled mayhem. Playing this game feels like ripping lines of coke off the dashboard of a flaming Formula One race car while Mick Gordon synthesizes a lawnmower for the soundtrack. I had to take breaks after every few encounters because I felt exhausted in the best way possible (This is especially true for both of the game's excellent DLCs). The platforming can be slightly janky at times, some of the boss fights are a little sub-par in their design, the story is meh (Its DOOM what do you expect you're not here for that anyway) but those are nitpicks when the combat is this amazing. This game is not only extremely fun but also actually pushes the FPS genre forward as a whole due to the innovativeness of it's combat puzzles and because of that I will absolutely be picking up DOOM: The Dark Ages when it releases.
