First of all, i’ve played the Nightdive version from 2020. That version has his own backloggd page but i choose to make my review on here since this one seems to be a little more popular.

Second: idk man but this game felt pretty mid to me. Maybe i played it at a bad moment. But the truth is i didn’t really vibed with this one

Re-skin was nice and all, and i appreciate the darker atmosphere, which to me felt more reminiscent of Quake.
Now, there are some design choices i didn’t really enjoy, like the maze-like level design and the extensive use of some of the tropes i hate the most about Doom, like very dark areas where you can’t see shit. It’s not scary, it’s just annoying. I understand that at the moment that might have been spooky as hell but believe me, that’s probably the design trope that has aged the worst for this kind of games.

So it’s not really a bad game at all but also there’s nothing here to write home about. All in all, is the most mid Doom of all. But yeah, if you’re a Doom fan this is a must, you’ll probably enjoy it a lot more than i did.
