A review of Doom (2016), which is a science fiction, first person shooter developed by ID Software and published by Bethesda Softworks.

Doom (2016) was released worldwide on Microsoft Windows, PS4, and Xbox One in May 2016 and is a reboot of the Doom series, and is the first major instalment since the release of Doom 3 in 2004.

The player controls a unnamed marine, and battles with demonic forces from Hell which have been unleashed by the Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC) on a future-set colonized planet Mars.

The gameplay of Doom (2016) focuses on being fast-paced with more open ended levels as seen with the original Doom games, and places emphasis on maintaining momentum. This has often been cited as the "push-forward combat", as it discourages players from taking cover behind obstacles or resting to regain health. Players instead collect health and armour pick-ups, scattered throughout the level or are rewarded with health for killing enemies.

A new addition to the franchise Doom (2016) introduces "Glory Kills" which is a newly introduced melee execution system wherein, when enough damage has been dealt to an enemy, the game will highlight them and allow the player to perform a quick and violent melee takedown.
