The premise, in the publisher's words
You’ve come here for a reason. The Union Aerospace Corporation’s massive research facility on Mars is overwhelmed by fierce and powerful demons, and only one person stands between their world and ours. As the lone DOOM Marine, you’ve been activated to do one thing – kill them all.

How it was received
Doom holds a critic score of 87 out of 100. That places it above 90% of the 3,306 rated shooter games in our database, which average 70. Games released in 2016 averaged 68, so it scored 19 points above the year average. Player ratings track closely with critics at 86, across 1,955 votes.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 17.2 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 40.7 hrs, roughly 2.4 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-2400/AMD FX-8320 or better, 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA GTX 670 2GB/AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB or better. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 55GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it costs, and where
Storefront pricing varies enormously by country: Argentina is the cheapest region we track at $11.99 (about $11.99), while Australia pays A$34.95 — 2 times more. In Pakistan it is priced at Rs 20 on Steam, which is about $19.99.
What it launched against
Doom launched on 12 May 2016, within three weeks of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, Overwatch, DOOM (2016) and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine. It reviewed better than 1 of the 4. It arrived 3 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, Overwatch, DOOM (2016), The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine.
