Doom

Doom is a first-person shooter video game released in 2016 by Bethesda Softworks and developed by id Software. It is the first significant entry in the Doom series since Doom 3 in 2004. Players assume the character of an unknown space marine known as the "Doom Slayer" as he confronts demonic forces from Hell released by the Union Aerospace Corporation within their Mars energy-mining plant. The gameplay returns to a quicker pace with more open-ended stages, more reminiscent of the original two games than Doom 3's slower survival horror style. It also includes environment navigation, character enhancements, and the ability to carry out "glory kills".

Doom garnered positive reviews from both critics and players. The single-player storyline, visuals, audio, and gameplay got widespread accolades, with critics praising the game for recapturing the essence of old Doom games and first-person shooters from the 1990s, but the multiplayer option received widespread criticism. Within a few weeks of its debut, it was the second best-selling video game in North America and the United Kingdom, and it sold over 500,000 copies for PCs. Doom Eternal, the sequel, was published in March 2020.

Release date: 2016
