This is a port that should become a point of comparison in future, an exemplary effort that quite frankly shames all the half-speed, dingy attempts to drag other system's games onto handheld. And, in what's fast becoming a cliché, it looks spectacular on OLED. It runs at a locked 60fps with zero hitching, slowdown or stuttering.

Now that those who grew up on the original Quake (currently available in a very good edition on Switch) are themselves developers, we're seeing a bigtime resurgence of old-school style first-person shooters, and we can't get enough. You’ll find maps, locations, and explanations of how to reach every question mark and find every secret in every level of Doom Eternal.Thank whichever deity (or prominent YouTuber, we guess) that you believe in for the "Boomer Shooter" explosion, and we mean explosion.
