Quick heads-up if you're interested in both this game and DOOM Eternal: I would recommend playing this game first, but don't expect Eternal to be more of the same, it is definitely not. It is also much more difficult than this game.

Onto the game itself.

DOOM, more commonly referred to as DOOM 2016, is one of the most well revered returns in videogame history. While there had been other classics rejuvenated in the modern world, a lot of them were... Not the best. (Duke Nukem Forever) However, DOOM expertly translates the high-octane, chaotic scraps that the classic FPS had into a more accessible, polished, and (in my opinion) fun experience. Playing this game is like drinking Coca-Cola and immediately eating mentos afterwards: Nothing happened, but it probably gave you a sugar rush, and that rush is perfect to go murder some helpless demons to. While the game isn't very tricky in the later stages, the progression is pretty intense at the beginning of the game, especially with how sluggish you feel if you know how fast you could be going. After level 5 or 6, though, the power fantasy sets in. If you know what you're doing, the demons stand no chance.

Killing demons isn't the only fun activity you can indulge in, however, as there are many well thought out levels with secrets that'll scratch the itch of any completionist. There's so much to this game even after you finish it, and you might want to go through it again just because it's so fun.

I 100% prefer DOOM Eternal over this game, but that doesn't take away the fact that this game just slaps. Now that it's only $20, there's no reason not to see what the buzz is about and check it out.

So, I'm just going to say off the bat that I am not a veteran. I got this game at the start of February, and I'm still fairly new to a lot of the game. With that being said, god is this game so much fun, probably up there in my top 3 favorite games already.
This game has:
Incredible Gameplay
Wide variety of fun, unique, and charismatic characters
A whole ton of weapons, maps, and cosmetics
Really fun co-op PvE game in the form of Mann Versus Machine
An extremely passionate and creative community
The game is absolutely hysterical
DOPAMINE FACTORY

There are also a few things that I don't like, such as random crits, playing against a sniper, and bots, though community servers can mitigate these. This game is still fun after almost 15 years, and I recommend this game to literally anyone. Anyone will find some kind of fun out of this game.

I've played this game for 5 hours, which means I've gone through all 5 stages of grief while playing.
Gaming
Rage
Intelligence
Endurance
Fall back to the beginning again because the card I drew cost 2 sacrifices instead of 1 I'm serious this game is so unforgiving.

If you want an actual review, hell yeah, this game is incredible, if a little punishing. The cardplay was way more fun then I expected, and it's honestly the thing that kept me from giving up. Yeah, I thought about giving up, this game is PUNISHING, but I should've known what I was getting into. Everything about the presentation is absolutely stunning, from the atmosphere, to the sound design. No game has ever made me feel powerless, but still capable to overcome. In short, incredible game. (Also I was talking about the first act of this game, I'll see how my opinion changes during the 2nd and 3rd ones.)
You should buy it, even if you don't manage to finish it, it's still an amazing experience.

I was looking for a free shooter on steam and saw this game. It looked basic, but I gave it a shot, and wow, this game is great. The weapons, the movement, the ui, all of it is good. The servers crash sometimes and there are only four maps as of right now, but other than that, a great game to sink your teeth into for a while.

Easily the best fnaf game, it's scary, the gameplay is fun, and it's different. I wish it got more recognition, because it really deserves it. The management sim part is fun, and so is the nightshift. The lore is also top tier. It's also free, so there's no excuse not to play it.

This isn't going to be a long review, but be warned, I feel the most mixed with this Fnaf game than any other.

So, Fnaf 1. There's almost nothing to talk about here, but I'll do my best. This is a great game, for the experience that is. I wouldn't really want to replay the game other than for novelty's sake. The gameplay is, well, it's good at best, just okay at worst, not a huge gap. The lore in this game is really vague, and compared to the lore of the other games, this one just didn't stick out much, aside from Golden Freddy and some of phone guy's dialogue. The atmosphere of this game is probably some of the creepiest in the series, and I respect it for that. The jumpscares are really well animated, though oddly enough, the only one that surprises me is Foxy's, probably the weakest jumpscare of the bunch. That's about it really.

Great game if you are looking for a horror experience, I'll leave my recommendation here, but you should probably play the game if you don't know what to expect.
