A misunderstood masterpiece

Yes Doom 3 is very very far from the other Doom titles, but does that make it not a Doom game? That's the question I had coming into Doom 3 its expansion (Resurrection of Evil), but I came out of those with a deeper appreciation for the game's darker tone (and environments) and horror-shooter focus. Gameplay: Doom 3 starts out slow, you are fairly weak compared to the other Doom games, the shotgun for all intensive purposes is like poking a demon with a stick, it deals very little damage till you get up close and personal; however, Doom 3's arsenal really shines once you get the plasma gun and master using the machine gun, the plasma gun deals a lot of damage at the expense of slow projectiles, the machine gun deals average damage quickly and makes cleaning up weaker demons a breeze. In addition to a solid mid/late game arsenal, Doom 3 introduces the Soul Cube, a weapon that insta-kills enemies once you charge it and also heals you in the process, making encounters far more dependent on mopping up weaker demons before bringing down tougher ones in the small arenas. Flaws? Doom 3 relies a lot on monster-closets and the horror element gets old fast, sure it's a little scary at first encountering imps behind doors but after your 3rd time it gets slightly annoying. The flashlight! I personally love it but some hate it, to see in the darker areas you need to rely either on the muzzle flash of your guns or unequip your guns in favor of a flashlight, making the decision-tree for any encounter slightly more nuanced. Running the game is also tedious, as others have mentioned you'll find the cd-key a pain in the butt to acquire, fortunately that's on the web version of GOG in the game's extras. Sum up: Doom 3 takes Doom in a new direction, it trades the fast paced shooting for slow combat in dark areas with a reliance on story; however, it makes up for its flaws easily if you don't compare to other Doom titles. (FYI Mac gamers, Dhewm3 is the source port you'll want)

There is something in the shadows...

This used to be my favorite DOOM game, a solid FPS that delivered an enjoyable experience. While I understand why some people may dislike it for deviating from the previous entries, it remains a standout for me. The atmosphere, the audio work, the art direction, the hauntingly beautiful design of the demons, the UAC marine's armor, and the weapons were all perfectly executed. It’s my second favorite DOOM game. I remember being mesmerized by the game from a Toys "R" Us Christmas shopping manual.

Basically, The Doom that isn't Doom...

...but it still good! (although, personally, the horror genre truly isn't my favourite) Doom 3 (and Doom BFG Edition, which changes the game completely) was supposed to be the 'new' direction of the Doom franchise, after Doom 64, into the Horror genre, switching the frantic gameplay with... something still frantic (to be honest, the 'scary' part and the over used I-got-no-ideas-so-let's-use-them Jumpscares only last, for like, less than half of the game.) but with some... undecisive design choices. Man, this is confusing. Let's start from the beginning. Doom 3 (or, better yet, Doom remake) is a Horror/''survival'' FPS with a weird paced gameplay (but utterly solid gun-play. After all folks, it IS still ID software) and a strange case I-wanna-do-like-system shock game kind of narrative. And, for its time, Doom 3 actually brought, beside the new big graphic, also an innovative light and dark system, perfectly fused with the gameplay (I mean, the torch system is fundamentally what separated Doom from its peers, at the time). Now, if it WEREN'T Doom (and I'm reviewing it like it wasn't Doom) that would fine and dandy... However, since it is Doom, and Doom means killing demons and extremely fast-paced gameplay, the choice of making it slow (from character movement to the pace of story) but then adding features that truly doesn't add well from the old franchise... welp, it isn't great (and yet it is still fun, just not like previous instalments). This issue was apparently so obvious that they try to mend it (and to show something out of a refined game theory, that is changing entirely a game by changing only two of its mechanics) by releasing the BFG edition, which removes the need of a separate torch (now you can always see where you are shooting) and let's you find way more ammo... and makes the game even worse, since it removes the need of survival. Anyway, is worth it? YES! Doom 3 (even BFG) is still an ID game, and that means marvellous!

Great game

The game is really great, no question. But it has a big problem. The BFG Edition is not running under Windows 11. I don't understand why Bethesda did not fix it. That is why I give 3 stars.

this is Doom anyway

Never understand why some people just hate this game because not doom. For me is a canon game that fit PERFECT the doom saga.
