Doom Eternal Switch Review | 'It runs Doom... unexceptionally'

Doom Eternal Switch Review | ‘It runs Doom… sorta’

By Michael Leri

DOOM ETERNAL REVIEW FOR NINTENDO SWITCH.

PS4, XBOX ONE, AND PC REVIEW HERE.

Doom Eternal is, at its core, an excellent first-person shooter and one of the best first-person shooters ever made. Switch ports often test a game’s greatness as the weaker hardware can…

  • Aggressive combat works relatively well.
  • Gameplay and upgrade loop is still addictive.
  • Pared-down visuals and lower frame rate negatively impact its signature sublime shooting.
  • Joy-Cons and Switch Lite sticks aren’t as accurate.
  • DLC isn’t included.
  • Visuals are fine and it runs well, but is overall much more clumsy than the other versions.
