A few days after releasing the new trailer for the upcoming sci-fi first-person shooter DOOM Eternal (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Switch, Stadia), the good people at Bethesda held at event in Los Angeles where they gave journalists a chance to play the first three hours of the game in anticipation of its March 20th release.
What follows are my impressions of the game’s opening levels, and will obviously contain some spoilers.
At an event last week in Los Angeles, Bethesda Softworks gave me and other game journalists the opportunity to try the version of 2016’s Doom that they’re bringing to the Nintendo Switch later this year, as well as the virtual reality spin-off Doom VFR, which will be available for PlayStation VR and HTC Vive on December 1st. Here’s my quick impressions of both.
While 2016 wasn’t the best year for video games, there were a bunch that I had a lot of fun playing.
Here now, in no particular order, are the best games I played in 2016.
By injecting new mechanics into an old school shooter — or maybe they injected old mechanics into a new school shooter — the good people at ID Software have done something interesting with the new Doom (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC). Though how much you’ll enjoy this sci-fi first-person shooter will depend more on how much you appreciate those old school mechanics more than the new ones.
Funko have announced that they will release a pair of POP! toys based on the game Doom this March, followed by Dorbz toys for The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim this May.
