- The DLCs provide challenging gameplay and are a great addition to an already amazing game.
- Buying the Year One Pass is a good deal, as it saves money compared to purchasing the DLCs individually.
- The expansions introduce new enemy types and locations, enhancing the overall Doom experience.
- The marketing is misleading, as the Year One Pass does not include the base game campaign.
- Some new enemies and mechanics in the DLC can be frustrating and disrupt the flow of combat.
- The game has been delisted, making it difficult for players to access the content they want.

The story is generally well-received, featuring a solid narrative that continues the Doom Slayer's journey through engaging missions and new enemy types.

The gameplay is generally well-received, particularly in the context of the DLCs, which are considered essential for fans of the base game. However, some players express frustration with certain mechanics, specifically criticizing the traversal system as cumbersome.
“I already reviewed both parts in detail, but to summarize, both DLCs are must-owns if you enjoyed the gameplay presented in the base game.”
“I tried to push through the frustration, but the traversal mechanics just made it worse.”
“The gameplay feels clunky and unresponsive, making it hard to enjoy.”
“I found the combat system to be overly complicated and not intuitive at all.”

The humor in the game is noted for its clever commentary on Bethesda's pricing strategies, with players finding it amusing that the game offers better value than the company's DLCs. Overall, the humor resonates with players who appreciate its satirical take on industry practices.
“It's funny that this won't appear in search because Bethesda realized that this will sell higher and cheaper than their overpriced DLCs. Nonetheless, save your money and buy this if you find it.”
“The humor in this game is top-notch, with clever writing and hilarious character interactions that keep you laughing throughout.”
“I love how the game doesn't take itself too seriously, with witty dialogue and absurd situations that make every playthrough a joy.”
