What players say
Certified cult classic that has been unfairly compared to the other entries in the series. This is not a fast paced run and gun kind of experience that has you fighting fifty enemies at once. This is a dirty, horror nightmare where you fight beings from a realm beyond human comprehension. Not saying the other titles are bad, but it's just different.

Never understood the hate on this game. Yes its gameplay might've been different than the other doom games, and its not even connected to any of the other doom games, but its so fckin good. I just love how its more of a horror game.
Don't even bother. If you want DOOM any other game in the series will give you that. If you want Half Life just play Half Life. If you want Outer Space Horror just play Dead Space or Alien Isolation. If you want any of these things don't play Doom 3. It's a hilariously bad shooter with uninteresting popup targets, samey environments, and mindless gameplay. This game puts me to sleep and makes me wish I was playing...
