In fact the collectibles and secrets are fantastic and I thoroughly explored the levels to try and find the majority of them. The injection of lore is welcome and the data logs you find, as well as other items, give enough information for you to enjoy. DOOM does have a story and it’s not a bad one, though it isn’t its focus. That’s what the game aims towards and within thirty seconds of starting it you’ll have already killed your first couple of possessed demons. Where the setup of an alternate history in Wolfenstein works towards a highly emotional tale, the objective in DOOM is to kill everything in sight. Surely that would have been enough, but The New Order’s fantastic and heart breaking story excelled it into levels of artistry unseen in a lot of the FPS genre.ĭOOM wisely forgoes an in-depth story. Wolfenstein: The New Order, was a throwback to original FPSs where a reliance on item pick-ups and big guns were all you needed to survive. Like Doom, I also watched and played Wolfenstein with my mother, so undoubtedly the nostalgia of it all rekindled a passion in me. That was until Wolfenstein: The New Order, arguably one of the best FPS’s and games to come out over the past few years. An over stagnation of them in the past had dulled my appetite for others and rarely have I found myself gravitating towards the genre. Indeed Doom is probably one of the main reasons why I fell in love with videogames so its arrival this year was awaited by me with both excitement and apprehension.įPSs usually aren’t my type of game. I can recall the Spiderdemon and the Icon of Sin and the crushing pressure that made it look like defeating those bosses were feats of amazement. I remember the classic sound of a door sliding open, a fireball being hurled by an imp and the ominous sound of approaching demons. I’d sit for hours watching her fight through the hordes of hell and marvel at the intensity and speed of it all. When I was younger I used to watch my mother play both the original Doom and Doom II.
