Today marks a significant milestone in the gaming world, as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the 2016 reboot of Doom. This iteration, distinct from the iconic 1993 original, has exceeded expectations and carved its own legacy in the realm of first-person shooters. In a lighthearted exchange with Doom co-creator John Romero, we learned that the infamous “tummy window” sported by Doom Guy was not a design choice, but rather a result of his shirt being torn asunder by the relentless forces of Hell. Such revelations are par for the course at PC Gamer, where we embrace the unexpected with enthusiasm.
Celebratory Discounts from Bethesda
In a more conventional nod to this anniversary, Bethesda Softworks has slashed the price of Doom on Steam to an astonishing /£1.59/€2, marking a 90% discount from its regular price. This game, a quintessential example of adrenaline-fueled action, is undeniably worth its original price, making this limited-time offer an absolute steal for both newcomers and seasoned players alike.
From the very first moment your character hurls an exposition-laden monitor into the wall, Doom establishes itself as a game that prioritizes pure excitement over conventional storytelling. It’s a reminder that while the landscape of gaming has evolved, the essence of what makes a game exhilarating remains timeless. The 2016 reboot has successfully rekindled that spirit, leaving players wondering why such exhilarating experiences seem rare in today’s market.
For those who may already own the game, there’s further good news: a variety of titles are also on sale, ensuring that there’s something for every gamer. However, the standout deal remains the 2016 reboot, which is not only the most affordable option but also a must-have for any serious gaming library. With the sale concluding on May 15, now is the time to act if you haven’t yet added this gem to your collection.
