DOOM + DOOM II

nothing about the original doom games jumps out to me. they feel boring. the gunplay is fine, the atmosphere is good for the time i guess, the level design is very overhyped (it essentially boils down to "the level is a big loop" but it kind of doesn't force you to play it that way and it ends up just making you wander around until you find the solution) these games are painfully mid to me. clearly not to most people, though. to be clear, this is not me saying old game bad. the original fallout games are some of my favorite rpgs, my favorite pokemon games are the older ones, tf2 is one of my favorite games of all time, and i love playing old games in general. these are just boring though.

I have played plenty, and I do mean PLENTY of the re-releases of DOOM, from Classic Complete on ye olde PS3 to the re-release on PS4/5 and the pseudo rereleasings bundled into Doom Eternal and Doom 3: BFG Edition. And I have to say, this, of any ways, is the DEFINITIVE way to play classic DOOM. It features: 6 expansion packs (not including the original 2 games) built in with custom achievements for said packs, built in support for DOOM mods new AND old directly into the game (no external stuff required, tmk you can upload mods as old as DOOM itself with no hassle), an optional-to-use fully remastered version of the original sound track recorded with modern equipment (As well as an alternate version of the original soundtrack), a built in "museum" of all the original assets and sound effects, a small section next to each game in the selection menu that gives you not only story details of the pack/game, but also a lot of history and insight into DOOM's release and the modding community. There are most definitely more things that I didn't notice or know about, but those are what stood out directly to me.

Now, I could go into the details and nitty gritty about DOOM itself as a game, but I feel like that wouldn't be necessary. Its DOOM. Its a good game no matter how you spin it. This, this re-release however? This is THE best way to play it and learn about it. And, as a neat bonus, its pretty cheap, too.

Good classic shooter, ages well for a FPS

Good game, worth the like 8 bucks for an hour a dollar. While I never grew up with the old doom games I do love this as a fps game.

I had no idea there were so many retro style doom games in this till yesterday! LOL i used to play the first two all the time back in the 90s. very nostalgic!

I enjoyed the expansions it comes with, this port is worth it to play Sigil and Legacy of Rust. I used Odamex before buying this and I do enjoy the vanilla experience better, also it comes with the dos version so you can be as vanilla as can be. I love the multiplayer, it features a thriving and great community(not just steam players). I wish I could my stats within the game, but it's not the end of the world. Honestly this is the only source port you need. For some mods I still use GZDoom but if you can replace dosbox file for the dos version you're golden for tracking hours. I do think the ZDaemon multiplayer port has one over just because of the different modes, but I still find myself enjoying classic dm in this release.

Classic shooter goodness with modern feature support and all the expansions packed into one game. This is a great way to experience the originals with plenty of demons for you to rip and tear.

Been playing DOOM since 93, and the game is still fun. I'm not talking about extensive modding or freelook, etc. I'm saying VANILLA Doom is still an extremely fun game 30+ years later. If you call yourself a gamer and haven't beaten these games, you're about as fake as they get.

- DOOM : No further explanation needed.

- DOOM II : Has its flaws but it brings the SSG and is still very enjoyable.

- TNT: Evilution : Not bad.

- The Plutonia Experiment : Fucking awesome.

- Master Levels for DOOM II : Mostly disgusting, especially the maps by Mr. CHRISTEN DAVID KLIE.

- No Rest for the Living : Imo the best official WAD out there. Masterful level design.

- Sigil : Extremely overrated, claustrophobic, autistic clusterseks with a beautiful soundtrack.

- Legacy of Rust : Very good, episode 2 overdid it a bit for my taste, but still very good, bordering on insanity.

This was one the first sci-fi and horror FPS games I was ever introduced to long before the game rating system started cracking down on things. A terrifying, long-lasting first impression on me about horrifying monster design, cool-looking futuristic weaponry, and how many bodies you can pack into one map that you're gonna need a lot of firepower, patience, and navigational knowledge for.

It's nice to see how long-lasting and supportive the community has been to this classic. Being able to revisit the levels I missed in past classic Doom releases like No Rest for the Living and Sigil is a breath of fresh air. And something new from Nightdive and Metalgames has been quite intriguing, too, seeing old sprites for new monsters and weapons in this one.

The KEX Engine devs learned a lot from the community when it came to remastering and re-experiencing the classics in their intended format. They still stick as closely as possible to the vanilla formula without the limitations of DOS or the system requirement-stretching extremities of more popular source ports like ZDoom. The default controls set for the new era of keyboard, mouse, and gamepad controllers is also considerate. It's just right!

While this version may be Windows only, what they did to make it compatible and considerate for Steam Play is nothing short of impressive. The same goes for the little amount of resources it tries to save, as it even runs fluidly on my Linux office PC in full native resolution. Depending on how dated your integrated GPU is, though, you may get some graphical issues in menu screens, but only just those.

The way mod management works here is a little more complicated than what you usually do in a command prompt or dragging and dropping in a file manager. While you can bypass this if you're online and have a Bethesda account to log in and download stuff, it takes more than just putting this here and that there to make a mod work if you do it all offline and by hand. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for that'll work with this game. Don't think too highly of anything if you were used to what other more popular source ports were capable of.

Anyone who is new to these early Doom titles should feel right at home with this new edition! Those dedicated will be adventurous enough to find how and why Doom runs on so many devices and different ports and how they made their history alongside these games.

This version of Doom is great, not only does it also include Doom 2, but the plutonia experiment, TNT, and more. If you were to buy a version of Doom, this is the one to buy.

Doom and Doom II are two very historically important games and also very fun to play, then and now.

I give $3 and get to kill anything that moves with sick soundtrack! Just like the 90's i was in. I used to fear DOOM tbh at first stages of my "gaming" career but i now understand i must rip and tear until it's done!

Classic D00M is THE fundamental FPS experience you need to play if you want a complete Shooter collection.

10/10. i would change nothing! doom & doom 2 will always be my favorites. id/nightdive did a great job with these new enhanced versions.

They somehow managed to add bugs to this
The ending slides of e2m8 and e3m8 just crash the game

A Golden game Different than most games out there, Really a deep dive worth.

It's actually not just Doom 1 & 2, so realistically I'd have called it Classic Doom Collection. It's a really good value, but maybe grab GZDoom to use with this

This game is actually very fun, I would highly recommend. I will say though, the mods make it so much better.

PERFECT. every second of gameplay is fun and i could not recomend it enough. 10/10

I can finally say 32 years after the game came out that I beat Doom. It's old enough to drink and is still fun to play. The game still has some nice pixel art graphics that held up pretty well. The guns are meaty and feel good to use. The only bad thing about the game is that the later levels start to become more and more maze like. I only ended up having to use a guide twice to find the exit. It takes a bit to get used to not being able to aim up and down, but after that, it's blast to play.

I gotta say that this "redux" was executed pretty well. On the other hand, the multiplayer is some of the sloppiest stuff I've ever played. And also, I really don't get why you'd even play vanilla doom instead of a slightly better one like Gzdoom. In short, good game, mid multiplayer, decent game

This isn't the oldest game updated to this day but it sure as hell is fun to this day. A timeless classic and 4 euros on discount. This game has so many mods and multiplayer support.

10 / 10 - It is the best PC game ever created, no reason to give it a lower score.

This old retro classic is very addictive and very enjoyable as well! It brings back very fond memories of the 1990's. I like the graphics, the gameplay and also the whole first person element as well. I highly recommend this to anyone who is old enough to remember the 1990's.

It can be buggy- but it's also DOOM, what are you going to do? Not play it?

The updated graphics, soundtrack, and UI are incredible.

It's pretty good, it plays fluently and is generally quite fun. I did however find it strange they didn't add freelook to it. Though I wouldn't recommend playing through it immediately after playing through Doom I and 2 that are packaged with doom 3 BFG. (unless you want a breath of fresh air because of the contrast)

Simply an excellent classic DOOM collection. I have still had some issues with crashes, usually when opening or closing th map, but it doesn't always happen.

DOOM is probably the most influential and important PC game in history... but history is boring and videogames are fun, and this game is still fun to this day. The gameplay, visuals and music are excellent in a way that feels timeless. I think the number of "boomer shooters" that take inspiration from games like this is evidence of that.

The controls are probably the way in which DOOM has aged the most poorly, although they are fine when you get used to it; this version modernizes it to being WASD/mouse. however the fact that the mouse only aims side to side (because the up down is done automatically) is still pretty awkward feeling.

Rolling so much of the classic doom products into a single item and adding things like achievements and other various options is pretty great. The remixed soundtrack is very cool, not necessarily better than the original but its a nice addition.

It's also very important to mention that the modding scene for DOOM and DOOM II is amazing. Brutal Doom and Project Brutality for example make lots of fun changes and additions, such as new animations, weapons, ADS and modern controls. This does a great deal to add to replayability and can make the game feel like a modern boomer shooter, while still feeling like DOOM in spirit.

It's DOOM, man. You can play it on your fridge, on your lawnmower, you might as well play it on Steam too.
When I first started, Doom was a dark magic forest to me, but after a little session of studying maps and secrets, i can say that is a very fun and interesting game even after all these years, and is interesting the fact that the developers have made this masterpiece 30 years ago with only a bad computer and a lot of ideas. ☺

Doom + Doom 2, those grandfathers of the first-person shooter genre, continue to defy the ravages of time, proving that raw, unadulterated gameplay can transcend generations. Even after three decades, these titles deliver an adrenaline-pumping experience that feels remarkably fresh. The core gameplay loop—blasting hordes of demonic enemies with an arsenal of iconic weaponry—remains as satisfying as ever. From the lowly Imps hurling fireballs to the hulking Barons of Hell and the terrifying Cyberdemon, the enemy variety keeps the action intense and engaging. The weapons, too, are legendary: the trusty shotgun, the devastating rocket launcher, and of course, the iconic BFG 9000, each delivering a visceral punch that's still unmatched. The level design, a masterclass in intricate layouts and hidden secrets, encourages exploration and rewards strategic thinking. What truly elevates these recent ports, however, is the brilliant addition of built-in mod support, a feature that arrived just last year and has breathed new life into these classics.
The integrated mod support is a revelation. It transforms Doom and Doom II from static classics into dynamic, evolving experiences. Instead of relying on external tools or complex file management, players can now seamlessly browse and install a vast library of community-created content directly within the game. This accessibility unlocks a treasure trove of possibilities, from total conversions that reimagine the entire game world, to gameplay enhancements that refine the combat, and even simple visual upgrades that polish the graphics. This feature is a testament to the enduring passion of the Doom modding community, and it ensures that players, both new and old, will always have fresh and exciting ways to experience these iconic titles. While the sheer volume of available mods is impressive, I can't help but wish that Brutal Doom, a fan-favorite that cranks up the gore and intensity to eleven, was among the official choices. Still, the vast selection available more than compensates. The inclusion of Final Doom within the package further sweetens the deal, providing even more classic content to enjoy.
The addition of achievements, a more recent feature, also provides a fun and engaging way to revisit familiar levels. They encourage players to explore different playstyles and tackle challenges in new ways. And, for those who appreciate a bit of old-school fun, the classic cheat codes still work, allowing you to unlock achievements in a delightfully irreverent manner. It's a charming nod to the game's history and a playful way to bypass some of the more demanding tasks. There's a reason these games have aged so well: they're built on a foundation of tight controls, satisfying combat, and ingenious level design. The recent updates, especially the mod support, have not only solidified their place as timeless classics, but have also ensured that they will remain relevant for generations to come. This update, in particular, will make people be playing this game for the next 30 years, at the very least.

Enjoying this version of Doom and Doom 2. Runs great, and all added features and levels are great to have. These games never get old and It's totally worth getting them for the umpteenth time here.

It's DOOM!!!! What else is there to say. and the new campaign "Legacy of Rust" is a must play alone.

I came to replay DOOM 1 and 2, and experience TNT and Plutonia for the first time.
I left loving Legacy of Rust to pieces.

Oh, absolutely get this. Probably sort of misleading how this advertises itself as "DOOM + DOOM II" when actually it's an expansive product that also includes Final Doom, Master Levels for Doom II, No Rest for the Living, Sigil and the new Legacy of Rust episode. Currently am playing through No Rest for the Living which is an expansion to Doom II with just super great level design, and I guess like maybe I'll get onto Legacy of Rust later. I mean, it's Doom. What more can you say? People may be mixed on stuff like Master Levels for Doom II but its inclusion is good because it's like if you had a James Bond box set that doesn't include something like Die Another Day, or a Bruce Lee box set that doesn't include Game of Death. Something feels missing when it's not there.

Classic. Worth playing not just for its historic value, but because it's a fun game in its own right.

A solid collection of official classic Doom releases as well as a few some community mods. Currently contains The Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom (TNT Evilution + The Plutonia Experiment), Master Levels for Doom 2, Sigil, No Rest for the Living, and Legacy of Rust. You can of course also play fan made WADs and this version runs on the Kex engine and has all sorts of tweaks and options with a modernized UI. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some source ports like GZ Doom, but out of the box it's a great value for anyone who just wants to download it and play some Doom the easy way.

There's a ton of content for both singleplayer and multiplayer as well as behind the scenes content, a cheat menu, and achievements. Definitely worth it if you're a fan of the series or haven't really given it a try and want an easy way to jump in and try it.

Obviously its Doom its good. the titles hold up today, with logical controls and stuning graphics.

This is a great port of the oringamel games. All DLCs and new Campaigns are a huge plus!
Multiplayer is fantastic, you will not get bored if you are a Hardcore doom fan.

If you want to try modding, you'll have to look into fan-made source ports, but for the base games, the Kex Engine port you get here does just fine. There's never been a better time to give the original Doom games a try.

Pros: God-tier remix soundtrack. All-in-one classic doom packaging. Nice classic feel of the game (without all the weird 3D/jumping/crouching stuff the game wasn't designed for).

Nitpicks / potential QoL improvements:
- Would be nice to have the ability to enable kill/item/secret counters above the status bar (dsda-doom style).
- Would be nice to have the ability to configure colors of different types of entities in automap (IDDT) - for people like me who would like to 100% all maps, IDDT at the end of the level to find something I couldn't find myself would be an ideal solution, however as it stands it feels kinda useless since everything (including enemy corpses) is just green triangles.
- Including Doom-64 in the same 'Classic Doom' package? I'm not that familiar myself with various source ports on a technical level (and I guess it's also more of a publishing decision), but I wonder if both KEX source ports could be meaningfully combined into the same release with one executable and just having Doom64 at the game selection screen among others.

DOOM:

4h48m

Genuinely holds up not that bad, if you don't mind no vertical aiming that is. Levels all feel unique and well designed. Solid game, lots of fun.
8/10

DOOM II:

5h57m

It's like DOOM but better in some ways and imo worse in some ways.
The better:
- Super shotgun
- More enemy variety
- No forced pistol start every episode
The worse:
- Maps are worse
- Archvile and Chaingunner
8/10

Master Levels for Doom II:

6h12m

This was a bad levelset, I thought DOOM II's levels were bad, but this takes the cake.
Too many of these levels require doing some super secret level shit in order to complete it (hidden walls, obscure buttons that you have no idea what opens when you press it, invisible platforms, ect.)
5/10

TNT: Evilution:

7h46m

This was definitely an improvement over Master Levels. None of the levels stood out to me as bad, some had minor issues but it wasn't too bad.
The biggest overall issue for me was the squishy enemy spam.
Every level had a stupid amount of imps, zombiemen, shotgunners and chaingunners. Also the final boss requiring you to be one step down despite that not being in line with the hole is very odd.
Besides all that it's basically just more Doom II.
7/10

The Plutonia Experiment:

6h22m

This was definitely the most fun classic doom experience so far. It was insanely difficult at times but the levels were a lot of fun. Some levels were complete dogshit tho like the Sewers level. But overall a good experience.
Probably my favourite of all the games included in DOOM + DOOM II.
9/10

No Rest for the Living:

1h57m

After playing Plutonia this felt like taking a stroll in a flower field. Not to say it isn't hard, or isn't good for that matter, just a lot slower.
This is a fun episode, the levels were pretty creative.
8/10

Sigil:

1h22m

I really enjoyed these levels, the new hidden buttons to shoot to open most secrets was refreshing from the usual wall humping.
The game being an expansion for UDoom means no super shotgun, which is a shame but at least it also meant no chaingunners or archviles.
It was a lot of fun with some extremely pretty set pieces, never seen levels this pretty in a classic doom game before, I am impressed.
8/10

Sigil II:

1h51m

Although this game is not one of the main titles, it is still an official Doom expansion, you just have to download it through the mod menu.
The maps had the same theme and atmosphere as the first Sigil, but they were just executed so much worse. Still wasn't horrible.
7/10

Legacy of Rust:

5h39m

Initially my opinions on this expansion were "It's worse than Master Levels for Doom II" but fortunately it was just the first few levels that really fucking stinked.
Genuinely the worst map I've ever played was E1M3, it was so bad I almost quit this entirely.
But after that level things got better, not amazing but better.
The last couple of levels in episode 2 were fun, mainly because they gave you a shit ton of fuel for the calamity blade.
6/10

Other notes:

All levels were completed on Ultra Violence.
Total completion time: 41h54m
Ranking of the games from best to worse:
1. The Plutonia Experiment
2. No Rest for The Living
3. DOOM
4. Sigil
5. DOOM II
6. TNT: Evilution
7. Sigil II
8. Legacy of Rust
9. Master Levels for Doom II

It's okay. Got it to play MyHouse.wad easier on my Deck since it's got a dozen copies on the mods list, but none of them work. Don't know what I expected. Oh well, Doom's still fun I guess.

The final boss in the game its the Crash bug that close the game, its in every level, all you have to do its open the map or play multiplayer. The forum its full of complains about this issue, developer didnt solve it and keep silence.

Enjoy the feling of minutes/hours lost because you open the map and didnt save the game.

With the crashing bugs fixed, this is the definitive way to play these classic games without any fuss. There's no reason to not give them a try. These games are the super mario bros and sonic the hedgehog of first person shooters.

You have access to a list of WADs (basically soft mods and level packs). Many of these have a lot of content and challenge. Try them out!

The Granddad of all fps games the original and it still holds up top this day, the art style also holds up too, just helps prove art style is always way way more important than graphics

the map do not work, don't know how many secrets or 100 percents per levels, it was and update that mess up the game. was perfect when 1st started, can' get rid of last update,

Doom is a 10/10 game, but go play it in a different source port because this is broken to the point of being unplayable.

I feel like a fool for never really "getting" DOOM until now. I've tried (pathetically) to play classic DOOM several times before, but never made a genuine attempt. Something just clicked this time around, and I'm absolutely in love. My husband wants me to play the modern DOOMs, but I think I heavily prefer the classic installments and expansions here. Really nicely packaged together as well, and the achievements were super fun to target.
DOOM I & II don't really need a review. Just awesome stuff. Pretty easy on HMP and UV difficulties until you get to Legacy of Rust. I would recommend HMP if you're not used to boomer shooters. There is some jank and very weird "puzzles" here and there, but nothing that ruins the enjoyment for me. I've heard Plutonia is not super well-liked among fans, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's honestly more memorable to me than some of the other expansions. Legacy of Rust also introduces a lot of new fun things: graphical, gameplay, enemies, weapons, and whatever else I'm forgetting. I went for 100% kills in all of the packaged maps, but I want to go back now and make sure I've got every secret area as well.

TL;DR: 10/10 package.

It's D00M! What is there to be said that hasn't been already? It's the pinnacle of FPS games. If you've never played it, don't consider yourself a gamer. If you don't own it, buy it immediately. The first game my children play upon birth will be the OG D00M games. Gotta start 'em straight out of the womb.

"As I stride knee deep through the dead, all is clear. I know what must be done... My cause is just... My will is strong... And my gun is very, very large!" - The D00M Guy from the D00M (1996) comic

Game keep crashing when i check the map. I can't recommend it until this fucking bug is fixed. Otherwise it is legendary action-packed old DooM as I remember from my childhood with extra load of new maps and episodes.
