Is it still worth playing?

id Software's 2016 first person shooter, a new Doom set on Mars in 2149. The Doom Slayer fights through a Union Aerospace Corporation facility that draws energy from Hell, and then through Hell itself. There is no reloading, and you stay alive by attacking. A stunned enemy can be finished in a Glory Kill, a melee animation that gives you health, and the chainsaw kills in one go when it has fuel and drops ammunition. You double jump and climb ledges through 13 levels with several routes, open areas and hidden levers that open pieces of the original Doom levels. Weapon mods found along the way change how the guns work, and SnapMap lets you build and share maps. Its combat is why it is worth playing now: it never asks you to hide, since health and ammunition come from killing up close, so the game keeps you moving forward.
