Doom (2016) singlehandedly revived the boomer shooter genre with it's dynamic and fun gameplay. But gameplay itself can't carry a game. I'm glad that the game is short because it was getting stale. While levels on Mars were pretty good and they weren't limited to a corridor but it felt like an open system where you can explore every room, even if it was below or above you. But levels in hell were so boring and uninspiring. At times, they were tedious to complete. Bosses come pretty late in the game and they are probably the weakest part of the game. They weren't memorable and they were easy enough for me to beat them in one life. Story is good, it serves that lone, badass warrior fantasy well.

Overall, Doom (2016) is a great game but it's getting stale towards the end. A must-play for every FPS fan.
