While its early existence was plagued by plenty of problems including a real-money auction house that was ultimately entirely removed and burned to the ground , Blizzard managed to reshape this revival of a classic series into an excellent and infinitely replayable co-op, demon-slaying party.

Twelve years passed between Doom 3 — which would prove to be the final Doom from the original id Software team — and the Doom reboot in But against the odds, the new generation of id developers did it: they reimagined Doom as a fast-action modern-day demon-slaying experience while still respecting the satisfying feel of the classic originals.

No game simulates the feeling of being in command of a starship flying by the seat of your pants like FTL: Faster Than Light.
