How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About DOOM
The Doom Slayer wakes up on a demon-infested Mars base and answers with a shotgun. Blisteringly fast combat in open arenas, executions that give health and ammo, and a metal soundtrack that pushes you to keep moving.
