"Doom 3 is still a great horror experience, and the new HUD and controls are perfect for VR. But it´s been more than 15 years since the game was originally released, and some elements feel outdated."

"If silly jump scare horror is your thing, you can do a lot worse than Doom 3 VR Edition, but you can also do much better. Its cutscenes are 2D, you get lost a lot, and occasionally you need to …"

"DOOM 3 VR is also able to breathe new life into one of the game’s more divisive facets: the horror. While jump scares are constant, and as annoying as ever, the VR succeeds in placing you on Mars in a …"
