This visually stunning reboot of an iconic franchise is a success on every level and not only reinvigorates an old classic but perhaps even the first-person shooter genre itself.
DOOM on the Switch? Who would have figured this would happen. But is it any good? You'll have to read on to find out. - Read our full Gaming News on The Outerhaven .
It’s strange to be this excited about the singleplayer portion of game from id Software, but here we are. While multiplayer doesn’t scratch the itch the way something like Quake Arena once did, the power of Snap Map puts the power to fix that entirely in the hands of intrepid and creative players.

Doom returns as a brutally fun and challenging modern-day shooter experience.
DOOM has a fantastic campaign but its multiplayer and Snapmap bring it down from absolute greatness.
The new DOOM is faster, more aggressive, more violent and more frantic than it has ever been in the past. Going back to the dynamic that made the franchise popular in the first place, its no-nonsense approach to killing horde after horde of horrible demons has to be applauded in the modern era of gaming that sometimes takes too long to get to the good stuff… the good stuff being, ripping the jaw off of a demons face after blasting its demon friend with a double barrelled shotgun and curb-st...
