Developed by id Software and published by Bethesda, Doom is a first-person shooter with a nostalgic feel. This is the fist major installment in the Doom series since 2004 and has been anticipated by the loyal community. After playing the early access Doom beta, I thought the newly releasing game has a lot of potential but still isn't quite there. What I mean by this is that there were a lot of aspects of the game that didn't quite seem fully developed. Obviously this is a beta so the game isn't finished, but it still is a good representation of what it could look like when the game launches on May 13. Here were my initial thoughts after playing the beta for a couple hours:
Pro Features:
-Graphically looked absolutely stunning
-Movement felt very smooth and fluent
-Lots of customizable features for your character and weapons
-A brand new game that contains a nostalgic feel when playing
Possible areas of improvement:
-The guns seem VERY week and take a ridiculous amount of shots to kill an opponent
-The demon is extremely hard to kill and quite rare to obtain
-Weapon choices are very limited (most likely due to beta stage)
-Only 2 maps and 2 game mode (also most likely to to beta stage)
If you have not played the beta yet I recommend you download it and play it while it is open. The beta is open from April 15-17 and the full game launches on May 13. If you want to learn more check out my gameplay video on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF1BVKVnGbnZNwItlH50I2A
