Great games, not so great package
The original Doom, Doom II, and Doom 3 are all great games on their own right and each of them still hold up relatively well, so having them all in one package for modern PCs sounds great, right? Yeah actually, just that the BFG Edition is a downgrade in notable areas. No, it's not the censored Wolfenstein levels since it's not like they are anything special. And really, you got a new chapter for Doom 2 with nine amazing levels by Nerve Software, so there is no lost here, if anything, you got a plus. The experience on all three games feels a bit cheapened, having worse lighting where every level is a lot more brighter than their original counterparts. Atmosphere is pretty much thrown out the window as moments when the games go dark feels rare now. Yes, being able to see is important in an FPS game, but Doom wasn't all guns blazing, there were moments of tension as levels can pull of unexpected surprises, so you'll feel that downgrade when you go from playing the originals to the this. Doom 3 suffered the worst changes, and it's pretty easy to notice right away when you see how the game they try to make the game action-packed despite that the original game has an emphasis on horror, even if it wasn't all great. Models look too shiny, the updated textures don't really hide the game's aging graphics, and I don't need to bring up lighting again, if you want to know you can play the game to find out (or watch a video). The change to the flashlight was also something I'm not a fan of. In the original game, you sacrifice your ability to fight back when you pull out your flashlight, creating a sense of dread as you may never know what lurks around the corner. But in the BFG Edition, the flashlight is attached to your armor, breaking chunks of the game as there is no reason to not have the flashlight on. I would recommend the original games if you can/want to get them, but the BFG Edition is still a good deal if you can get it on sale or if you just want more Doom.
