Games Breakdown
- DOOM (1993)
- The FPS classic that revolutionized gaming. Known for its fast-paced action and revolutionary 3D graphics (even though they weren’t true 3D!), DOOM popularized multiplayer deathmatches. Did you see the game’s chainsaw weapon was inspired by a real chainsaw the developers kept in their office?
- DOOM II (1994)
- The sequel expanded on its predecessor with new enemies (like the deadly Arch-Vile), weapons (double-barreled shotgun, anyone?), and larger levels. It also introduced modding tools that made DOOM II one of the most modified games of all time.
- DOOM 64 (1997)
- A Nintendo 64 exclusive for years, this cult hit features darker graphics and a haunting soundtrack compared to earlier entries. Fun fact: DOOM 64 introduced the “Unmaker,” a demonic laser weapon not seen in any other game until DOOM Eternal.
- DOOM 3 (2004)
- This reboot brought horror to the forefront with its dark corridors, jump scares, and a flashlight you couldn’t use simultaneously with weapons (a controversial design choice). DOOM 3 also marked id Software’s first foray into true 3D rendering.
- DOOM (2016)
- This fan-favorite reboot resurrected the franchise with fast, brutal gameplay that ditched cover mechanics for relentless forward momentum. The “Glory Kill” mechanic was a game-changer, encouraging players to get up close and personal with enemies.
- DOOM Eternal Deluxe Edition (2020)
- The most recent entry cranked up the chaos with more vertical movement, new weapons, and a deeper storyline. The Deluxe Edition includes DLC expansions like The Ancient Gods, adding hours of gameplay and even tougher challenges.
