The first great video game of 2020 has arrived: 'DOOM Eternal' is the catharsis we all need in these scary times

"DOOM Eternal" just launched on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Google Stadia.The new game is the first truly excellent game of 2020, and a perfectly cathartic experience in a bizarre moment of human history.At any given moment in "DOOM Eternal," you can stop and look in any direction and you'll see it: A perfectly-framed shot of cover art for a deathmetal album.

Yes, you have a chainsaw that you carry everywhere. Really. If you chainsaw an enemy in half, ammo explodes out of their body."DOOM" is a classic video game franchise, and that comes with a lot of baggage. It was the first major first-person shooter, and one of the first major horror games. It wasn't about repeating the same fun over and over, but about creating a type of fun that could be replicated in different scenarios.

Both franchises combine superhuman movement with a small armory of weapons and gadgets, and both feature a variety of specific enemy types with specific weaknesses. At any given moment in a fight, you have to monitor which of these resources you're most in need of, and prioritize which enemies to kill and how to kill them in order to gather resources.
