It's been getting some good reviews, and I finally checked it out. It's as good as they say. Once you realize the entire storyline of Doom is completely ridiculous on purpose, it becomes a joy to play it. In this case, the narrative of the game is itself treated as an enemy, with the marine regularly shutting up literally anyone who tries to explain anything to him. This marine already knows everything he needs to know. Idiots once again made an artificial portal to hell and demons everywhere, so it's time to kill demons, which is exactly what you do. Doom 3 was an interesting experiment, but it took itself a bit too seriously.
The biggest flaw so far is that it's just called "Doom". Hey, marketing people, cut that out! If you don't want to call it Doom 4 (and why not?), at least give it a subtitle.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
