Welcome to Mars Marine
When I was getting into gaming in the early 2010s Doom 3 had a fine reputation. Specially in the horror community. On any fanmade best horror games list of video, it would be there there, not the top five, but always there, and we knew why. Doom 3 has atmosphere. Atmosphere so thick it feels like you're wading through it. Every texture, sound, and environment has been optimised to make you feel like you're in an industrial nightmare. A place that feels angry and hateful, and that's just before the demons show up! A lot of the scares in this game really do hold up. The cycle of scares sprinkled between combat and exploration keeps the game exiting and your fingers twitching at any sound. The gore is lovely and and the game's lighting is legendary. Set pieces are well designed and the music is just perfect. Doom 3 is a horror game first and foremost. Just one where you have a small army's worth and weapons and ammo to fight the horrors back with! You don't feel safe though. You feel like humanity is doomed and you're just fighting the inevitable. If you're reading this, you know how the new Doom games have soured a lot of people on this one. A lot of people complaining Doom 3 ruined Doom got into gaming even later than I did. But if you go back to the first three episodes of Doom 1, play with the lighting and draw distance down, and a pre WASD control setup you'll see the similarities to Doom 3. The first Doom was always meant to be a horror game. Time has simply turned it into something else. I think Doom is valid as either an action or a horror series. Not to say Doom 3 doesn't have real problems. It runs out of steam around the 2/3 mark. The attempts at storytelling often fall flat. And yes, the pistol and shotgun are very disappointing. The TL;DR 5/5 as a horror game. 4/5 as an action game As a Doom game? Go in with an open mind knowing Doom has roots in horror and action, always has.
