Retro Doom for modern age
I originally backed the game even though I disliked the visuals, because it was said I can turn off the retro look. This is currently true only partially, as you can for example change monsters to 3D models, but any pickups or pre-placed gibs will still be 2D sprites. And this mix will make the game look weird. Also I initially played the Alpha on gamepad and it wasn't a great experience, mainly due to cumbersome weapon switching system. But for EA, I switched to slower computer with m+k and the experience changed drastically. Due to slower hardware, I was forced to pick up the retro visuals and reduce the resolution to 270p. From this point on, I had so much fun with the game! The "downgraded" visuals play into game strengths, obscuring the fact it uses only three colors most of the time (grey, red and white - I cannot describe how much I miss colorful monsters from Doom Eternal). Mouse is really a must have for this game since nailing headshots is essential, so you won't run out of ammo all of the time on medium difficulty. This is even more pronounced by the fact that pistol is essentially powerful as a sniper rifle, while shotgun works as expected only if you showe it directly in the demon's mouth. Weapon switching still cumbersome, but you have the number keys to your help. Apart from normal levels, you can also try particulary clever and addictive time trials and of course community maps that add a lot of extra hours to the gameplay. As for the level editor itself - it is far more complex than SnapMap or classic DoomBuilder, but given the ambices, that isn't a bad thing, it just requires way more dedication to get into it over the two mentioned. Overall, this is a great buy, even in EA, even with 5-6 hour campaign so far. If you can play on m+k, love classic Dooms and disliked Doom Eternal and SnapMap, buy this. But be prepared for sort of boring color pallete, weird level and weapon switching, weak-feeling shotgun and complex editor.
