In this epic ranking, IGN takes us on a wild ride through the blood-soaked history of Doom. From the groundbreaking original in 1993 to the recent Dark Ages, each game is meticulously dissected and evaluated. Doom 3, a departure from the classic run-and-gun style, faced criticism for its dark visuals and slower pace. Doom 64, with its gothic vibe and lack of multiplayer, is hailed as a fascinating but ultimately inconsequential entry in the series. Meanwhile, Doom 2, the best-selling software of '94, refines the original formula with new monsters and the iconic Super Shotgun, setting the stage for the series' future.
The Dark Ages, a stark departure from the neon frenzy of Doom Eternal, introduces melee combat and parrying mechanics, offering a fresh take on the demon-slaying action. Doom Eternal, a vibrant sequel with diverse environments and challenging combat, pushes players to their limits with scarce resources and overwhelming lore. And then there's Doom 2016, a back-to-basics romp that captures the essence of the original game while injecting new life into the franchise. The simplicity of the original Doom, with its iconic run-and-gun gameplay and timeless appeal, solidifies its place in gaming history as a true classic.
The legacy of Doom extends beyond the games themselves, thanks to the dedicated community of modders and map designers who have kept the series alive and thriving. From custom levels to total conversions, the creativity of fans has added a new dimension to the Doom experience. And amidst the moral panic and controversies that surrounded the game's release, Doom emerged as a symbol of gaming itself, a testament to the power of immersive gameplay and unbridled creativity.
