Your mission, close the portal, and kick demon ass. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /> Well executed, all it needed, nothing more.  I mean c'mon.  This is DOOM we're talking about.  A game where you blow away demons and save the world.  Tada!  Fun!   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> I think D+1 is majorly overreacting.  The game isn't nearly that dark.  The vast majority of areas are lit enought so you can see where you're going, and then you have a flashlight to see specific stuff and into unlit areas.  I mean c'mon, demons invade the base and you expect all the lights to still be on?  Stuff breaks, especially light bulbs.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> If you haven't played past the first level, you haven't even begun to experience the game.  So don't pass judgement. If you want to solve puzzles, chat with NPCs and walk around the world looking for new towns and such (see: almost every game on the market), then  you shouldn't play Doom 3.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />  If you want to blow away demons and possessed humans at point-blank range and see their flesh explode all over the place, then you should play Doom 3.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> The only thing I would have really liked that's not present would have been a map function, that's it.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />  The multiplayer may be lacking right now, but that's what updates are for.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
