Glorious DOOM Game!

I've been a huge fan of Doom since it's release, the first game I ever play. When DOOM (2016) was announced I was happy and worried, but when the game released was a pleasant surprise and become an instant classic. I have played DOOM Eternal too, but the simple and fast action of DOOM make it my favourite of the two, because feel like the right step between classic and modern, it's the same formula updated!!!! Love this game and obviously recommend it, you feel the power of the Doom Slayer when you get more and more weapons and upgrades, by the end you will be unstoppable! 10/10 or 5 out of 5 Stars here on GOG! PS: SNAP MAP IS AVAILABLE IN GAME AND YOU DON'T NEED A CONNECTION TO USE IT. LONG LIVE TO DRM Free King! PS2: Now bring RAGE and RAGE 2, those game deserve a DRM Free spot on GOG for ages now, c'mon Bethesda and id Software :D

Possible solution for running on Linux

The game is so much fun! And it's finally here DRM-Free! For those who are trying to run it on Linux through Wine (Lutris etc...) or on Steam deck through Proton, and are getting just a black screen or nothing at all, I have a possible solution that worked in my case. The problem is caused most likely due to the Visual C++ version (that comes with the game) that is installed on your wine prefix being too old. So to fix it, you just have to install the game normally and run it so you can unlock the "install .exe under wine prefix option". After that, close the game forcefully (via task monitor , task manager etc...) and download the most recent version of Visual C++ from the Microsoft official site (apparently I can't put the link here, be sure to download the right version for your system, if it is 64 bits download through the link after X64) and install it under the game's wine prefix. After that, just try to run the game again and it should work. Another tip is that once inside of the ingame menus, change the graphic renderer from OpenGL to Vulkan if your Graphics card supports it. It will increase the game performance a lot.

Better late than never.

It only took nine years for the arrival of DOOM 2016 at GOG, but it`s finally here. With no DRM... and Multiplayer? But to be honest, nobody plays DOOM multiplayer, or even touch the Snapmap thingy. Now the game itself, for those who still didn't played it somehow: is pretty much a AAA Painkiller, with FarCry 3 takedowns and upgrades system. Most of the guns (especially the Gauss Cannon, that thing is sexy AF) are a joy to shoot, the soundtrack is alright and the enemy roster is decent. My only complain with DOOM 2016, is the difficulty drop after the second half, and the game tries to drag itself on and on. Oh, and the playthrough for this review of mine, was made on Nightmare difficulty, so if it's your first time I recommend going with the Ultra Violence option.
