THIS. GAME. IS. SO. GOOD.
Don't sit on the fence for this one, if you want a great single player campaign then vote with your wallet, buy this game and enjoy the hell (pun intended) out of it!
It plays great for me on ps4 btw. The game is real eye candy. I hope this one doesn't end up in the forgotten black hole of the bargain bin, they deserve all the $$$ for this one.

I love double jump. I don't know why but it's so satisfying to me. A few hours in and the steam controller is holding up really well. I feel pretty natural playing like this now.
I truly truly hope so too. It would make the season pass worth it.

Thanks, Flash. You're the best. And your meme is awesome too. *two thumbs up*

+1.
there are volume sliders for SFX, Music, and Voices.
just turn SFX and Voices down, turn sound up and leave Music at 100. That's what I did. PS4 version
I wasn't sure how I felt. On Ultra Violence, the game feels a bit easy. Way too easy using M&K. But on Nightmare it's a little too punishing. It feels like the difficulty comes less from upfront difficulty and more from being pot-shotted due to lack of spacial awareness. So, I've been using a pad on Ultra Violence, and my response has been a bit lukewarm. I love looking for secrets and the level design is just top notch, but I wanted more out of the combat.
When you go
, the game really starts to impress with encounter variety and enemy numbers. It's good stuff. I just wish the AI were more aggressive, especially the Mancubi. I'm not a fan of how you can basically stun-lock the Revenants either. Barons of Hell are handled a bit too much like Hell Knights (I know that's explained in the "lore," but it's mechanically not terribly interesting). The encounters really benefit from Cacodemons and their aerial pestering. Pinkies go down a bit too easily too. But these are somewhat minor critiques. I'm still enjoying myself a lot. The weapons and stage challenges bring a lot to it too.
When you go
to Hell
Barely hearable? IMO it drowns out other sound too often. And that's with 70% volume... Lowering it makes more atmospheric pieces impossible to hear though.
Sound mix in this game is kinda weak. The gun sounds are reasonably good but the mix overall...
The mixing is definitely questionable, but then again I have an issue with the mixing of most video games. Bass basically drowns out all the atmospheric sounds unless you're using headphones.
I can't recall having such issue with most games, with or without headphones.
This and Wolfenstein are those rare games where i do take notice of the soundmix...
Got the game on release date but haven't much time to play it, i am on 4th level. So far impressions... This is fucking amazing, the soundtrack, graphics, level design, but by far the most thing that impressed me was how they managed to implement that twitch-skill based shooting in to the campaign. I play the game with a happy grin on my face and goosebumps on my back. Hope the rest of the game keeps that pace. I totally forgot that i have Uncharted 4.
So, I eventually beat the game during the weekend.
Overall, I had a blast, and I really didn't want the campaign to end.
That's why I started replaying missions in search of collectibles and secrets, I want to get those 1000G points on this baby (and I usually NEVER, EVER do).
And then I wouldn't mind a run at Nightmare, I unlocked the Ultra Nightmare achievement and had lots of fun doing that, so hopefully the challenge will be entertaining.
Plus I'm among those that really loved the multiplayer Beta, so I want to jump on that part as well.
Anyway, the game is really solid and it's pretty much another Wolfenstein TNO, and surely already among the surprises of the year.
I personally have just two minor complains:
1) The ending is really underwhelming, considering how much I enjoyed the rest of the story.
2) The IDKFA achievement is not unlocking for me (on Xbox One) despite having met all the possible requirements. :/
Seems it's happing to other players as well, I hope they can fix the problem via patch.

I understand the idea of leaving things open for a possible sequel (that now I hope even more it will see the light) and I never trusted that AI in the first place, but ending things like that felt kinda like a cockblock, LOL.

Man, this game throws the kitchen sink at you sometimes. It's fun, though.
I'm on mission 8 now, after two sessions. I still need to try SnapMap, but have played some multiplayer. I hope to beat it later tonight/early tomorrow morning.
Question: Is the BFG hard to find?

If you mean in the campaign, it's literally impossible to miss.

This game is like reliving the scene from Scarface's ending just pure adrenaline and letting loose with your inner rage.

Just finished it this morning. 30 hours according to steam. Still have a few more secrets I need to figure out. Also, a few more of the level challenges too
God...
Dammit...
This was a fan[REDACTED]tastic game. If they released more "episodes" as DLC, well, that would just be more than perfect.
Two Barons of Hell with one shot? I did that, though. Does BFG ejaculate not count?

Should. It's how I got the late game challenge
'thread the needle' for 8 kills with one shot. If it doesn't though, rail gun siege mode will do it.

In a related question...
Anyone know if the game is Dolby 7.1 compatible or even what standards the game has please?
Can you use the BFG for the Barons challenge or not? It's not clear to me, and I still need to do that! :d

A review I read said the campaign is 10 hours long. I thought it was closer to 15?
It is, definitely. Even more than 15 hours if you hunt for collectible and secrets (which is damn fun in this game).
Holy crap.
To emphasize what this game is to me, a little about myself: I'm 35 years old. My first ever PC game was Wolfenstein, and DOOM followed soon after. I played a lot of it, both solo and with my friends over modem. Then came Quake, the internet and things moved online, but I always played the high paced, straight forward shooters. That's what defined me as a gamer, and continues to do so.
Straight forward, fast paced, skill based twitch shooters pretty much died when tech reached the point where semi-realism became viable, and such games took off. Don't get me wrong, I love Far Cry 3 for example, but the subgenre that DOOM stands for pretty much died off, with few exceptions like Bulletstorm or Serious Sam, which were good, but not great. I wasn't sure the days of me jumping around firing rockets, chainsawing enemies and flying around using jump pads would ever come back, at least not in any solid, modernized form. Heck, I wasn't even sure it would work anymore, even for me.
But here we are... THIS is the game I've been waiting for for the last 10 years.
This game fucking sings. Each and every design decision in it support one or both of the two things that matter: The gameplay and the atmosphere. It gives me the type of rush I haven't gotten from a game in years. 30 minutes after starting I was jumping around and blasting demons in the face with a shotgun like the past 10+ years of my life had never happened. I was back in my youth, playing a game that doesn't try to hook you through anything else than being fun to play.
I have to tear myself away from this game. The way they've managed to bring modern game design paradigms into the mix with all the upgrades, without taking away from the straight forward aspect of the gameplay, is impressive as hell. All the weapons feel right, all the skills feel right. It feels new and just like DOOM at the same time. So fast, so fierce, and so precise. Compared to other recent games, I feel like I am one with the controls, I don't even register using a mouse and a keyboard... what I wish to happen just happens. It's an amazing feeling having after such a long time away from it. Game also looks pretty, and runs near-perfect.
And I'm still pretty good at it, too! Whenever I get near death, the adrenaline kicks in and I let my instincts take over, and it's like I'm 15 years old again, taking out enemies at a pace that will make a sidestander wonder what the hell is even happening on my screen. It really is a shame that so many people will be experiencing this with a gamepad. I am not in a "team" when it comes to gaming, I have consoles and I have the PC, but this sure as shit is one game you want to play with m+kb. I wouldn't play a soccer game or fighter with a keyboard, and just the same, I wouldn't play this with a gamepad.
10/10. GOTY. id software just resurrected from the dead and jumped straight onto my AAA developer list that really isn't long. Good lord what a surprise.
Hype over. Buy this game. We need more games like these.

The rune trials are way too hard. Nope, not doing them anymore.
I make your words mine.
Last night I was in a frenzy during one hell packed arena section. I was seriously not eve thinking, I was just chaining kills, changing weapons, kicking ass and chewing buble gum.
When it's over I scream. So much adrenaline, I haven't had this in such a long time. God damn.
RIP AND TEAR

34 years old here the PC version is indeed glorious this game takes me back to when i was young playing doom 1 and 2. Nice summary i was hugely skeptical at first but i have to say they delivered with this game.

Almost all after level 5, lol.
Oh man, the worst one I had to get through was the one where you
only had a shotgun and 1 health.
That one took me forever and the only way I could finish it was to
bait the last pinky demon to run off the ledge.
That said, I just know I'm going to be hating life when I try to do them with a controller.
