Return of the classic FPS, Doom (2016) acts as a reboot of the series and brings back the Doomslayer, protagonist of the original Doom games. In order to solve the energy crisis, humanity learned to harvest the energy from Hell, and when something went wrong and a demon invasion has started, it’s up to the player to control the Doomslayer and destroy the evil. Doom is a fast-paced game that restores the concept of instant health packs and leaves the player against armies of Hell with no cover, no health regeneration, or help from anyone.

After a long snooze, *DOOM (2016)* detonated back onto the scene, reminding everyone what a pure, unadulterated FPS should feel like. It wasn't about cover or regenerating health; it was about aggressive, strategic movement and demon-shredding glory. This reboot expertly blended old-school principles with modern polish, proving that sometimes, the best way forward is to look back at what made the originals great. Forget narrative bloat, this was just *fun*. Pure, visceral, metal-fueled catharsis.
