What is DOOM Eternal?

It is a fast-paced first-person shooter in which the Slayer fights demons across Earth and other dimensions to prevent humanity’s destruction. Combat combines guns, movement, and abilities, with executions restoring health, fire generating armor, and chainsaw kills replenishing ammunition. Battlemode pits one Slayer against two player-controlled demons in round-based matches.

For you if...

  • +you want a violent, gore-heavy science-fiction shooter
  • +you want both a solo campaign and asymmetric PvP

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer slower, grounded shooting with little platforming
  • −you dislike frequent weapon swapping and limited ammunition

What players say

91% of 205,278 reviews are positive · 86% of 492 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the combat’s speed and mechanical depth, along with the soundtrack. The dominant complaint is the Bethesda.net account requirement; several players say connection warnings interrupt single-player sessions, while others report login or launch failures.
