The lukewarm reception to the multiplayer beta and Id’s unwillingness to send out review copies before launch didn’t help matters. 90s-inspired Arena shooters started to make a comeback in recent years, and Brutal Doom breathed new life into the franchise, but whether Doom had a place in the modern gaming landscape seemed to be in serious doubt. It went through a long, tumultuous development cycle, during which first-person shooters had evolved into something completely disparate from the core tenants of the Doom series. As I played through the intro sequence to Doom’s campaign, I initially found myself fixated less on the narrative at hand and more on the wild circumstances surrounding this game’s existence.
