Doom 3: BFG Edition

201271/100
Shooter

Horror · Survival

Doom 3's brilliance lies in its commitment to oppressive atmosphere. Limiting the player's vision with a flashlight, it forces tense resource management in claustrophobic environments. The BFG Edition's enhanced graphics and refined controls heighten the experience, but the raw, visceral combat and mounting dread remain the core of what makes this a standout title.

About Doom 3: BFG Edition

Details
The BFG Edition features enhanced graphics, better audio with more horror effects, a checkpoint save system, and support for 3D displays and HMDs. The game also includes the previous expansion Resurrection of Evil and a new single-player expansion pack called The Lost Mission. Additionally, it includes copies of the original Doom (the Ultimate Doom edition with the add-on fourth episode, "Thy Flesh Consumed"), and Doom II with the expansion No Rest for the Living, previously available for the Xbox 360. The BFG Edition also features the ability to use the flashlight while holding a weapon, in the form of the so-called armor-mounted flashlight.
