Doom 2.5
Doom 64 is an unexpectedly great addition to the family of official classic Doom campaigns. The game also functions as a sort of transition between the action-oriented gameplay of Doom I/II and the horror-driven experience of Doom 3. The gameplay is the classic Doom formula with some small edits. While some enemies are not present from the previous games, I can't say miss them, especially the Archvile. The unique and powerful Unmaker weapon is a treat to use in combat, and its upgrade system allows for a rare sense of both progression and incentive to find level secrets for classic Doom. The original and new maps included here are of great quality and offer an engaging challenge on higher difficulty levels. This port allows for the best possible visual experience for Doom 64. Most notably, it allows the player to turn off the N64-style texture filtering that makes surfaces look like mud. This allows for the art direction of the new graphics to shine, as many of the new sprites and textures are good. This is a welcome change-of-pace for classic Doom fanatics, who may be tired of the Doom I/II graphics that have been often reused in map packs. The ambient soundtrack is a hit-or-miss. It definitely adds a new sense of desolation and feeling trapped in a forsaken dimension, but I feel that it detracts from the action. It does take getting used to, especially if the player has recently played Doom I or II. This was likely an experiment to change the game to be more horror focused, as in Doom 3, and it seems to fall a bit flat. There are no story bits to gnaw on here, despite the new Lost Levels campaign supposedly connecting this game to Doom (2016). After playing through all maps, there doesn't seem to be any real narrative hook to the newer Doom games. Doomguy is doomed, that's all! This game is definitely worth picking up alongside the other classic Doom games. It's great to finally see this officially on PC with a quality port!

Unexpected!
Best version of DOOM 64 + DRM Free, its a fun game worth the full price. My favorite DOOM, the game has a macabre feel to it and the soundtrack enhances it. Never finished it before, but this time i will. QUAKE Let's a goooooooooooooo! If we can get GoldenEye & Perfect Dark" here on GOG, it would be amazing!

A great blast from Doom's past
Played Doom 1 + Final, 2, the original 3 + DLC when they came out and now as a utter surprise, I can play Doom 64 I never knew it existed at all. What a pleasant surpise it was & reliving the fun I had with the old ones. If I should rank them from best to least: 3, 64, 1, Final & 2. PROS: - Some superb level design, I love wandering around cleared levels - Better ambient outworldly sounds & grunts - Better details - 1 new monster & some improved versions of old ones - Blasting fun & healthy tension balans - Secrets rooms & levels - Almost 40 levels - The price CONS: - Lacks some of the enemies of 2 & 3 - I didn't like the hidden FUN levels. Did remind me of the last level of Doom 2 . . . This game is really what GOG stands for and even for the full asking price, it's steal for what you get ! It's old, but boy, it's still sounds, plays, feels & blasts good !
