The Doom Slayers Collection offers a great mix of classic and modern gameplay, featuring Doom, Doom II, Doom 3, and Doom (2016) with updated graphics and sound.
The gameplay is fast-paced and thrilling, with unique mechanics like the glory kill system in Doom (2016) that adds depth to the demon-slaying experience.
This collection is a fantastic way for both new players and long-time fans to experience the Doom franchise, providing hours of entertainment and nostalgia.

Only Doom (2016) is included on the disc, while Doom 1, 2, and 3 require digital download codes, which has disappointed many players expecting a complete physical collection.
The controls for the original Doom games are not well-optimized for modern controllers, making them difficult to play compared to their original PC versions.
Some users have reported issues with redeeming download codes, particularly if they are region-locked or if the codes have expired, leading to frustration.
