If the point of the game is more about unlocking cool cosmetics, well, color me unimpressed.Īll that being said, the first reviews are flooding in (Forbes was not offered a review code) and they're very positive. While I don’t think id Software will go that route, my concern is that the campaign won’t get as much TLC as the last game with multiplayer such a big focus. Then again, we’re all still a little traumatized from Fallout 76, Bethesda’s attempt to take Fallout online. In regards to Doom giving the maps out free, thats hardly a. If the multiplayer is good, having some live-service elements will keep the game humming. The primary reason its pretty dead is because the ones with dlc arent being matched without dlc. You need a account to do any of the online stuff which is annoying but not truly awful. Only online features like BATTLEMODE, Invasion and progression towards DOOM Eternal’s in-game Events will be unavailable without an internet connection.” If your platform of choice isn’t hooked up to the internet, don’t worry - players can still rip and tear through DOOM Eternal’s single-player Campaign offline.
