Not long to go now - Doom Eternal is out on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on 20th March, 2020. The Nintendo Switch version is expected to release later this year.
"Overall, I'm excited about this one," John Linneman said on Digital Foundry when he went hands-on. "There's progression in all areas without taking anything away from what made Doom 2016 so special. In fact, it's both surprising and gratifying to see id push the structure of the game forward as much as it has here. Yes, the id Tech 7 revamp delivers exceptional results - particularly in terms of sheer detail - but coupling this with a much wider scope makes this feel much more like an actual sequel.
"Obviously, there are still many questions to answer, like how the current-gen consoles cope with the game, especially the Xbox One S. As things stand though, this preview of one of my most eagerly awaited games of the year did not disappoint - and I can't wait to see more."
