Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
-The graphics were a huge upgrade compared to Doom 1 and 2 and still look great for their age.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
It is not a perfect version of Doom 3, and there are definitely things that could have been handled better, but as a full package it is still a really solid shooter and absolutely worth playing if you like dark atmosphere, classic demon-slaying and old-school FPS design.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The weapon sounds are iconic and give you a good feeling for them, and the soundtrack is still and absolute banger.

I tried altering the sensitivity for a controller with no luck whatsoever.
