Doom 2016 is fucking awesome. I will admit a strong bias, as this game is really special to me and was one of the outlets for a really shit period in my life. But besides that Doom is just one of the most fun games I've played. The shooting and movement are precise and fluid. The large levels filled with gore nests and arenas and hundreds of secrets are pretty great as well. The music and visuals are perfectly fitting and never became eye or ear tiring. And one of the best aspects- the game keeps the same tempo throughout and never feels the need to stop or bog itself down with constant cutscenes. I guess there is a story but it's very secondary. This has made it one of my favorite go-to games that I can play just for fun and hop in and out of. Doom is by no means a masterpiece nor does it do anything special narratively but ID committed perfectly to a philosophy and it paid off with a super fun game that revived the series
