Introduction

Doom 64 is a delightful relic from the late '90s that takes the bloody, demon-slaying fun of the original Doom games and shoves it into an even more chaotic time warp. Originally released for the Nintendo 64, this remaster proves that demons never really go out of style, much like your dad's fanny pack. So, grab your chainsaw, because we’re about to dive into the hellish run-and-gun action of Doom 64 for PS4!

Gameplay

Doom 64 sticks to the classic formula that made the franchise famous: you, a lone marine, blasting your way through hordes of demons and monsters in labyrinthine levels. There are 28 main levels plus 4 secret ones—because who doesn’t love a good secret? And let’s not forget the arsenal at your disposal. From the iconic shotgun to the new Unmaker (yes, it sounds cooler than it is), you’ll be glued to your controller, making devil stew out of any demonic filth that dares to cross your path. The levels are packed with tricky puzzles and intense ambushes that make wielding your weapons feel like less of a stroll in the park and more like a heart-pounding sprint on a roller coaster designed by your most sadistic friend. Collect keys, activate switches, and dodge fireballs all while managing your health. It's enough to make anyone feel like they’re in a bad horror flick—but in the best way possible!

Graphics

Graphically, Doom 64 was quite the sight for its time, sporting detailed 3D polygons and atmospheric lighting that made the monsters look frighteningly good, or at least frighteningly... well, monstrous. The remaster enhances these visuals under modern capabilities, reaffirming that while pixel art is a classic love, sometimes modern pixels are just better at scaring the pants off you. Plus, the unique colored lighting gives each scene a sinister tone, perfect for those pesky nights when you want to get all existential while blasting some evil creatures to smithereens.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Doom 64 is still a riot, regardless of its age. It serves as a loving homage to the thrill of 90s FPS glory while adding its own flair. Although it may feel somewhat like a rehash to seasoned gamers—or those who have played all the Doom iterations to death—it offers enough challenge and atmosphere to keep you glued to the screen, sitting on the edge of your seat. If you’re looking for a game to help you psych yourself up for the apocalypse or have a late-night existential crisis while blasting demons, then this remaster has your back. Plus, just think of all the bragging rights you'll have: 'Oh, you played Doom? That's cute; I conquered Hell. Twice.' So gear up, gamers—Doom 64 is here to slay once more!
