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. Anyone who says, "B-But why aren't the cacodemons red a-and why do the lost souls looks so weird?!?! This isn't Doom!!!!" is a clown who doesn't realize this game is it's own thing. I LOVE almost everything about this game. Art style, enemy variety, weapon variety, secrets, soundtrack, etc. Everything just feels so down to Earth and brutal. The campaign contains plenty of memorable moments and some genuine jumpscares with enemies spawning in rooms you previously cleared to catch you by surprise. The only two aspects I dislike would have to be the shotgun and the main campaign boss fights. 1. The shotgun is probably one of the worst weapons I've ever had the displeasure of using. You MUST be point blank when firing, otherwise good luck hitting anything. The spread on the pellets is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane. For this reason, I barely touched it and mostly stuck with the SMG for the majority of my time in the early game. Thankfully, in the DLCS they brought back the Super Shotgun which is incredibly satisfying and overpowered. 2. The main campaign boss fights are too easy. Even on my first playthrough where I didn't know the optimal strategies, I still beat them incredibly quickly. If you do know what you're doing, you can beat all the bosses in about a minute each. It's pathetic and I'm glad in later entries they decided to give us actually challenging bosses instead of whatever this is. The Resurrection of Evil comes in clutch here as it provides the player with excellent boss fights that are a challenge, somewhat. They are still pretty simple, but requires some amount of effort to overcome. As for the achievements, it's not a terrible time getting 100%. Playing nightmare difficulty for a campaign will first require you to complete said campaign on any other difficulty first. Unlocking nightmare for one campaign does not unlock it for the others, so prepare to play each campaign a minimum of two times. Multiplayer is dead so you will need at least two boosting partners. There's only a handful of these online ones, so it should only take you maybe 30 minutes of playing in private matches before you have all of them. Collectibles throughout the campaigns are all missable as there is no level select. I would recommend pulling up a guide and finding them as you go or making a save at the start of each level so you can go back once you're finished. IMPORTANT: If you press F12 to take a screenshot, the game will open the console and will DISABLE ACHIEVEMENTS FOR THAT RUN. If you do accidentally take a screenshot, load a previous save. Otherwise, you need to restart whatever campaign you're on. This game is a staple of early 2000's gaming and I'm incredibly proud to have 100%ed it. Definitely would recommend you pick it up!

very fun game, good maps. Don't take screenshots if you see cool stuff though, the system will think you're using cheats and prevent you from getting achievements

Will never understand the hate this game gets. Going off the things I've heard I was expecting this to be a slog but this is one of the greatest FPS games ever made and is the "last true" doom game.

DOOM 3: BFG Edition is a great way to experience one of the most unique entries in the DOOM franchise. Forget the pure action of the newer games — DOOM 3 is a horror-focused FPS that trades speed and chaos for atmosphere, tension, and a terrifying journey through the UAC Mars facility. The game may be different from classic DOOM, but its dark corridors, incredible lighting, sound design, and oppressive atmosphere still make it a memorable experience. This BFG Edition improves the original package by bringing DOOM 3, the excellent Resurrection of Evil expansion, the new Lost Mission campaign, and even the classic DOOM and DOOM II. It also adds technical improvements, better widescreen support, and quality-of-life changes that make the game easier to enjoy today. The gameplay is slower and more methodical than other DOOM games, focusing on exploration, enemy encounters, and managing your resources. The demons are less about overwhelming you with numbers and more about creating constant pressure in a dark environment where every corner could hide something waiting to attack. The BFG Edition also changes one of the most famous mechanics of the original: the flashlight. Being able to use it while holding a weapon makes the game more accessible, even if it slightly reduces the tension created by having to choose between seeing in the dark and defending yourself. Some people dislike the slower pace compared to classic DOOM, but if you enjoy atmospheric sci-fi horror FPS games, DOOM 3 remains a fantastic experience. The sound design, monster encounters, and feeling of isolation on Mars are still impressive today. A different DOOM, but an excellent one. Welcome to the UAC. Your shift is about to begin.

8 / 10 - game still nails the survival horror atmosphere and has memorable creepy moments all these years (like the Lost Soul introduction cutscene). I would recommend the game for nostalgic gamers, Doom collector fans, survival horror enthusiasts, and video game history fans. For those used to a faster paced shooter game, I would not recommend. I dock the BFG version several points due to making the environments somewhat brighter/more accessible and allowing the flashlight to be equipped while shooting as the only option. It would've been great to preserve the "original 2004" flashlight experience as a togglable setting instead of removing altogether. It would be a true remaster instead of what seems like a "correcting the perceived wrongdoings of Doom 3." The 2004 Doom 3 flashlight didn't make much sense in a futuristic setting but it was more intense/nightmare inducing having to decide between flashlight or weapon at critical points. In 2026, the game feels like a forgotten entry in the Doom franchise but there is no denying its place in video game history. Doom 3 was a major mind blowing technologically leap and I will always respect Doom 3 for what it did and how it made me feel at the time. It is truly one of those games that opened your eyes to the possibilities in gaming and I will never forget that.
