Doom 4: 10 Reasons It'll Be The Best Shooter Of 2016

7. Hell Looks Horrifying

Doom was a bit like a modern Sci-fi/horror take on Dante's Inferno. Instead of stages of Hell, there were levels in each episode ranging from unholy cathedrals to the Tower of Babel. Of course, back then there were areas where you really had to use your imagination and fool yourself into thinking €œYep, it's a fortress,€ rather than a series of large rectangles and blocks stuck together.

A lot of effort has been put into level design; Hell looks like a very disturbing place. Jagged rocks stick out everywhere, the clouds are dull yellow, blood-red lightning seems to hold floating rocks into place, and the body-parts and bones of some poor souls decorate the realm like amusing trinkets. Then again, some more hellfire and brimstone would really scare the pants off of the fans, but perhaps there will be plenty of unholy cathedrals and lava rivers to see when the game is released?

At least it looks more welcoming than London.
