Call of Demons
Interestingly it’s the logo redesign that perhaps reflects best which course is being served. Whilst the original 1993 DOOM logo had a labyrinth motif embedded, adequately hinting at the complexity of the level design found within, the new logo has been seemingly washed with bleach & stripped of its artistic nuance. What a perfectly apt illustration for this new iteration. Enter COD with demons, complete with focus-testing & tailored to a mainstream lowest common denominator market yearning after spectacular instant gratification kills for that micro-dose of dopamine, only to repeat it ad nauseam in a futile attempt to keep momentum going. Somehow this apple fell so far & hard from the tree, splattered on the ground into applesauce, lay in the sun to fester unrecognizably, until someone scraped up the remains and baptized it as "Apple 2016". One cannot possible claim with a straight face that a series that arguably started as a thinking man’s shooter boiled itself down to this, and still call it “true to its roots”? It demonstrably isn’t. Being merely in possession of all the ingredients doesn’t make one a kitchen virtuoso. If I (happily) want to turn the gore & violence dial to 11 whilst scratching that old school labyrinthine itch, there is always Brutal DOOM. But pushing 40, perhaps somewhat jaded, growing up with the OG iterations, the fact is that DOOM 2016 is wasted on me, no matter how persuasive the bad-ass Mick Gordon guitars & glory kills montages present themselves as.
