In a way, this kind of strips a bit of the game’s level of tension and horror, since now you can shine your flashlight and shoot your firearm at the same time, but I actually was quite grateful for that ability. That’s right, the BFG Edition actually lets players use the flashlight without having to cycle through their weapons to select it. It’s a good thing we can use the flashlight as its own item! Cheap scares are one thing, but being just terrified of the world you’re pit in definitely makes this a worthy horror experience. With enemies appearing out of nowhere, but really, the atmosphere is what makes this game truly creepy. The scares here are all of the “boo!” variety. ![]() I was always on edge as I made my way through dark corridors, waiting for a demon or zombie to just pop out at me. Honestly, I don’t know how the people working in that complex remained sane! Well, there wasn’t really anyone left working there after the portal to Hell opened, so yeah…īlood on the walls, corpses littered around, and darkness itself all make this game stand as one of the best modern, first-person horror games of this century. Sometimes I found myself just taking a short break from the game, due to the very somber nature of each environment. It’s even better now since the visuals have been improved with this remastered edition, though character models look a little funny, to me at least. Sweet baby Jesus, Doom 3’s atmosphere is truly immersive and its superb lighting makes the entire time you spend in confined areas very creepy. And c’mon, Doom is really all about the gameplay after all. This is thanks in large part to its amazing atmosphere. ![]() And with the BFG Edition you get the complete Doom 3 experience, thanks to Resurrection of Evil’s inclusion, as well as a brand new expansion titled “ Lost Mission.” Again, both expansions’s stories aren’t going to bring home any awards, but overall, Doom 3 is a playable sci-fi horror movie that provides one hell (haha) of an adventure. Yeah, you do collect audio and video logs as you venture through the complex’s corridors, which unravels more of the story and breathes more life into the world around you, but it’s still pretty bare-bones. That’s pretty much all there is as far as story goes. Basically, what we have here is a remake of the original Doom. It’s your mission to fight to Hell and back, putting an end to this demon infestation. ![]() But shit hits the fan, and before you know it, a portal to Hell has been opened, bringing hordes of demons to the complex. UAC is the leading corporation when it comes to high-end technology, and their mission to excavate artifacts deep within Mars goes horribly wrong…As expected! When you arrive in the facility things are all normal and everything is following routine. You play as an unnamed marine that’s sent to a UAC facility on Mars City. But the question is, is it worth it? Or is Doom 3, despite its improved visuals, “doomed” to live on as a relic of its time? Let’s find out! So this release was definitely on my radar for months. ![]() BFG allowed me to do just that, at long last. Yeah, I’ve played the original game before (on a cellphone…), but I’ve never really beaten any of them nor had the chance to fully immerse myself in them. I’m a little ashamed to admit this, but this is actually the first time I’m properly getting into the Doom series. While the titular game is the one that gets the most attention, being remastered and getting a brand new expansion, BFG Edition also houses Dooms I and II, making this a must-buy for diehard fans of the series. What we have here is Doom 3 BFG Edition, which honestly should’ve just been called the Doom Collection. Doom is back, and just in time for Halloween! But, no, it isn’t the release of Doom 4 (show me your “rage”!…get it?).
