-The story was surprisingly interesting and the PDAs were a huge part of that.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What also helps a lot is a short gameplay (3 hours top) and bigger maps so you have space to move around.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
-The graphics were a huge upgrade compared to Doom 1 and 2 and still look great for their age.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
-The menu music alone got me excited every time I launched the game and the sound design throughout the facility was excellent.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But playing Doom 3 with higher fov, better resolution, and way better fps is awesome, with some graphical improvements and having Doom 1 and 2 makes this such a great deal, even when its not on sale but I would still recommend it on sale.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Plays well with my XBox One Controller on a moderately powerful system.
