This apparently was working out quite well for the them until just recently, and once again, it's up to the Doom Slayer to clean up their mess.ĭoom 4 also introduces several new mechanics that keep the gameplay from growing stale. This time around, the UAC is just attempting to extract a type of energy from Hell as a sort of alternative energy program. The story is simple enough: unlike the past games where Hell broke loose thanks to the UAC's teleportation experiments, the UAC is actually being somewhat careful with their experiments. Most importantly, "Doomguy" has a canon name now: instead of being a nameless Marine, he's the Doom Slayer. There are some small changes in the series' overall lore, but ultimately, it feels like it affirms the old games more than it retcons them. It also features the occasional cutscene to further flesh out the game's canon.
DOOM is more in line with modern games in that it leaves bits and pieces of the lore scattered around for the player to find. Now, the original games didn't focus on their story very much the majority of their "storytelling" consisted of walls of text that appeared after the player cleared specific levels. Basically, the series is continuing on as if Doom 3 never happened, and everyone seems to be thrilled about that. Put simply, DOOM (aka Doom 4 or Doom 2016) is a sequel to Doom II, not Doom 3. This severely hurt the game's reception, and it's clear that the developers heard the fandom's complaints. Doom 3 on the other hand, attempted to reboot the series and make it feel like a modern, story driven FPS.
Doom II: Hell on Earth built on this, adding new content and continuing the marine's one man war against the forces of Hell.
The first Doom introduced us to the OSHA-disapproved UAC and their ill fated teleportation experiments. The new Glory Kill system also makes the combat extremely brutal and violent.
Per usual for this franchise, there's a LOT of blood and gore, as well as plenty of references to Hell and demons. To pause the game, bring up any of the submenus - this is done by pressing TAB or ESC. Your progress through the story, however, is only saved at the end of a level. The main benefit of this is that items you find are recorded as you play, and you can replay levels with new equipment whenever you want. Within each slot, your progress through the story and the upgrades / equipment you've gathered are kept separate. Review: DOOM (2016) At a Glance ESRB Rating:ĭOOM uses save slots.
