The thing about the 2016 Doom is its entire approach to being an FPS was revolution­ary… by not being all that different to the very original 1993 classic, just injected with all the power of modern tech.

It is a fast-paced shooter that keeps you constantly on the move, and always on the tear with power-ups and supercharg­ed weapons. Glory Kills let you finish off weakened enemies with a melee attack, forcing you to close those gaps. With Doom Eternal following closely in its footsteps, you could be forgiven for thinking the continuati­on isn’t going to be as interestin­g as the revival. Well, you’d be wrong. While all the standard sequel elements are here (bigger weapons, meaner bad guys, and even larger bombastic settings), some serious tweaks are being made to the “push-forward” gameplay that the Doom of a couple of years ago was best known for.

The Meat Hook is the largest change; this grappling hook strapped to the bottom of the redesigned shotgun completely changes how you move around the combat arenas. It introduces a new sense of freedom, making you feel more powerful than ever. And it only attaches to demons, so is guaranteed to bring you into the heart of the action. Playing online, this includes facing off against other players, as they control demons to invade your game.
