They're definitely still worth playing and accessible all over the place (PC, obviously, but the XBLA ports, which run on XBONE, are also great). They also have complex and interesting level design and amazing atmosphere (especially the sound, which is just fantastic.) The hand-drawn art has aged nicely (hand-drawn art generally does) and the weapons are all super satisfying to use.įrom the sound of pinky demons snorting nearby to the look on the Doom guy's face when you pick up a new weapon to watching monsters fight each other there really isn't anything quite like the original Doom games. You move really fast and you don't need to aim particularly well (there's no z-axis aiming at all) so they're really about movement and positioning in a very satisfying way.
They don't have stories of note or anything like that (though it will make you appreciate the cool things they did in updating the classic enemies and other nods to the original.)ĭoom and Doom 2 hold up in a way that later shooters (like Unreal or whatever) do not because they're sort of a different thing from modern shooters. You should play the original and Doom 2, but you don't necessarily need to play them (at least not to completion) before the new one.
