19. Doom
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NteAPGprDJk Move over Mortal Kombat, the original gore-lathered franchise is back - and its brought all the leg-snaps and head-bursts you've been missing. It was always going to take one hell of a game to contend with Fallout 4 on Bethesda's stage, but thankfully in doubling down on the sheer brutality and ease-of-access that comes with the standard run n' gun Doom formula, the end result was a very viscerally pleasing one. The main thing that'll hit home with older gamers is a return to the arena shooters of the late 90s/early noughties, something we're in desperate need of following the amount of military-themed entries in the genre for what feels like forever now. Speaking of Mortal Kombat, this newer Doom has some fatality-esque finishers of its own - self-triggering canned animations you can bust out when you've weakened or staggered an enemy. They result in you doing everything from smashing a demon's face in with your bare hands, to ripping their skulls clean in half - leaving only a lone tongue waggling around. The game's crying out for a beta to get full public access and to really see how the trademark speed of the series' gameplay has made the leap to newer hardware - but for now you'll have to wait and see.
