Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On my system, the regular desktop DOOM runs at 100+ FPS average (kinda hard to tell, but FPS is basically infinite and NEVER goes below 70 anywhere anytime in both SP and MP) with Vulkan API enabled, standard FXAA, and all maxed out graphics settings except DOF, Lens Flares, and that kind of cinematic (disturbing) crap.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game's sound design is another strong point, with the iconic heavy metal soundtrack and aggressive sound effects pumping adrenaline into each encounter.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Otherwise it was fun and looked amazing in VR, beautiful visuals, and also it is very well optimized and runs smoothly even at higher resolutions.
