DOOM (2016) - The Perfect Modern Shooter
The first time I ripped a demon in half with my bare hands in DOOM (2016), I knew this wasn't going to be just another shooter. The music kicked in, the shotgun started pumping, and suddenly I was dancing through hordes of demons in a beautiful ballet of violence. This was DOOM – and it was glorious.
Let me tell you about my favorite moment: surrounded by Imps and Hell Knights, low on health, shotgun empty. Instead of hiding, I charged forward, glory-killed a demon for health, chainsaw'd another for ammo, and kept the momentum going. That's DOOM's genius – it rewards aggression and makes you feel unstoppable.
