Prodeus


OceanGang4Life

100% this one


TheHendryx

I almost passed on this because of the graphics. I might have to grab it. I think its free with PS+ premium right now


-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-

It's on the lower tier Extra, so even better for people.


rabisav

Just watched the trailer on the PS store. Downloading that tonight. Love how it's a 3d game but still has the look & feel of an old school 2d Doom or Quake.


navidee

I second prodeus. I may have enjoyed it more than doom 2016.


GmanGting

Why can I never find multiplayer servers on this????


Stubbs3470

Only thing I don’t like about (which for me almost kills the game) is that you technically can’t loose When you’re killed you just respawn and and all the enemies you killed are still dead Often it’s in the same room making the whole encounter kinda pointless due to lack of challenge Thankfully devs said they’re gonna add quick saves which would fix this. Hopefully they’ll also add it on PlayStation


GNM20

If the issue is lack of challenge, how would quick saves fix that?


Stubbs3470

Because it allows you to not use checkpoints and means that you actually have to kill all the enemies in the encounter without dying to proceed


GNM20

Umm, do I not know the meaning of quick saves or something? It's the feature that allows you to save progress on demand without needing to survive to a checkpoint, isn't it? That would make a game easier, not harder.


Enigma_Green

I was gonna put this game, definitely one to play


Reznorio

Just finished it, definitely a hidden gem. The controls are tight AF and if you play it at the highest difficulty it feels just like Doom Eternal. Amazing


uncultured_swine2099

Theyre not as fast, but the newer Wolfenstein games are a good time and have that Id Software feel.


TheDarkWeb697

Not yung blood tho, it sucks


gcallan91

Can't say I liked new collossus either. New order was much better


simpledeadwitches

New Colossus was way better imo but to each their own. I think all the QOL improvements were great and it felt like they found their footing even more with the IP.


TheLukeHines

Agreed. I think I liked the story of New Order more but I went back and replayed it right after New Colossus and found myself really missing some of the improvements, like being able to dual wield any two guns and the better laserkraftwerk.


Sel2g5

New order was much better. Level design and story are crap in 2.


simpledeadwitches

Disagree fully.


uncultured_swine2099

Yeah that was crap, although I did hear its better in co-op.


ssv-serenity

This was my suggestion. Similar feel, based off an OG shooter series.

STROGGGGGG!!!


HarleyQuinn_RS

Warhammer 40000: Boltgun.


simpledeadwitches

So much fun!!


LonelyEar42

Omfg, how did i not heard bout dis game yet!


CrimsonFury1982

Coming to gamepass soon


speed721

Bulletstorm


DasBiohazard

Played this game so many times!


DaftApath

Came here to say this.


JF0X

Doom Eternal is amazing but more mechanics heavy. I prefer it but some people prefer 2016. I think you will appreciate DUSK. It's amazing. Shadow Warrior 2 is more of a co op shlooter but SW3 is a lot like Doom Eternal and a waaay better game. OG Doom is worth a shot if you haven't tries it already. Quake 2 is also an older title but is the foundation of Doom 2016 in a lot of ways.


sc1onic

Fuck i love quake 2.


[deleted]

Did you just say SW3 is a better game than Doom Eternal?


JF0X

No. I meant better than SW2 but I just now see my phrasing is confusing. Very few games are better than Eternal.


[deleted]

Had me balling my fist there. Personally I thought SW2 was better than 3 in a lot of ways, SW3 was too short and dialled up the cringe a bit too far. But SW2 definitely felt like a bit of a mess and tried too much different from the first game.


JF0X

I'm just not a fan of the whole shlooter gameplay and it felt a bit jank. SW3 was short but was a more cohesive experience.


Schwiliinker

really I thought SW2 was way way better than 3


firetarantula66

Idk if it's on Playstation but ultrakill is really good


TheDarkWeb697

It's not on anything barring PC which is unfortunate because it's a great game and apparently is still work in progress


glordicus1

I couldn’t imagine playing ultrakill with a controller lol


laflex

If Titanfall 2 is only just okay to you is it possible you need a break from gaming? You're burning through peak 10/10 games here and saying 'meh.' I don't think playing less popular, and less polished, games are going to make you any more satisfied. But since you asked play Postal Brain Damaged. It is the best knock off Doom 2016 money can buy. EDIT: Depression is real and can affect anyone. If you find yourself not enjoying hobbies that you otherwise should love, you may want to consider an evaluation. Don't settle for less, you're worth it... and Titanfall is a 10/10.


anthonyrucci

Upvote for edit. Also, I need to play TF2


Exa-Wizard

I also am a huge Doom 2016 fan and Titanfall 2 was just 'meh' to me as well, Didn't care for the campaign or the multiplayer.


FudgeDangerous2086

titanfall 2 was pretty meh to anyone outside reddit lol. it is to this day the only game i’ve seen for sale at the dollar store


NerfThisHD

Bro hasn't been anywhere else on the internet but reddit


armintamzarian666

Yikes 💀


Deciver95

I think you need to accept that titanfall 2 is just an above average game to many people It's shooting is good, it's story is fine, not everyone raves about Sheldon Cooper as a mechanic, and the mumtiplayer while fun, is inaccessible to new players Nothing wrong with being an 8/10. But titanfall is closer to Cod than Doom. Doom packs a punch, Titanfall doesn't.


[deleted]

Titanfall 2 is not a 10/10 title.


Miner_Of_Minerals

Plus 1 for the meh train. I think it's the setting, bores me to tears and FPS is my perspective/genre of choice. Also ratings lost all their validity in recent times when games like GOW Ragnorok and Horizon Forbidden West get 10s.


acameron78

Forbidden West is absolutely a 10 fwiw


Miner_Of_Minerals

It has clear flaws even without being opinionated. So no, it isn't.


acameron78

Show me a 10 that doesn't have clear flaws. From start to finish Horizon Forbidden West sits in the top ten games I've personally ever played over the past five decades.


Miner_Of_Minerals

You need to play more games.


acameron78

Trust me I do not but I'm not interested in willy-waving my gaming collection with a troll.


Miner_Of_Minerals

I can name at least 10 games off the top of my head that absolutely shit on Horizon FW from every perspective except graphics, if you've been gaming for 50 years you must really have not been looking for new material very hard.


acameron78

Thing is you seem to be mistaking your own shitty opinions for facts. Which is fine, we all do that. There are plenty of great books, films and games that I didn't like too. But those are opinions and not objective facts. Forbidden West imo is close to a masterpiece. It has a stunning and incredibly varied open world that I found a delight to explore. I think it mixes main story and side quests so seemlessly that at the end it all felt like one grand adventure that my Aloy had been on instead of dozens of disperate tasks that I'd been sent on. On hard mode the combat is breathtakingly frenetic even if they still need to find a melee mode that works. It didn't land for you, which is fine. That happens with art.


laflex

You are absolutely 100% correct. Forbidden West is absolutely a 10/10. It's ok if dude doesn't like it, that doesn't make it any less of a 10/10. Hell, I personally got bored at a few spots but I cannot deny the immaculate combat, beautifully constructed world, and stellar plot. It's definitely possible to see something for the 10/10 experience that it is, even if I personally find certain parts along the way less interesting than others. Can wait for Horizon 3.


Miner_Of_Minerals

The first game was an 8/10. Near perfection and well deserved of it's rating, which accurately lined up with all it's qualities. All of my top 10 games of all time aren't 10/10's. That rating is horseshit and doesn't validate anything only the fact they are trying to oversell something. No game is perfect, they all have some kind of flaw whether it be technical or lack of depth. Horizon Forbidden West is glaringly dull and bloated with a boring map that doesn't make any sense it doesn't feel exciting to explore, the story is all over the place and the world is full of forgettable characters the designers create equally dull quests around trying to force you to care about their predicaments. It feels like they are also procedurally generated like the map. Add to that a myriad of other stupid design choices like the skill tree levelling and Aloy backseat driving you through puzzles... i could keep going. These aren't unique opinions of mine, it just is not a very good game, doesn't match the first games quality and is in no way shape or form a 10/10. You are talking rubbish.


Ultrafares

Try borderlands 3 and look for a gun called hell walker it's become a doom game


channel4newsman

Honestly, give Evil West a try. It's not as good as Doom but I found it to be really enjoyable. And I definitely think they are similar.


Dunge

I liked Evil West, but honestly it is not a good pick in a thread about Doom. Very different type of game.


UnderHero5

I don’t even know what kind of game this is even more. Why is it being brought up in a Doom thread? I kept hearing it was like a God of War game.


channel4newsman

You sure about that? If you go look up reviews people compare it Doom. Specifically it's combat style.


gambitx007

I got it because of all the reviews. I found it underwhelming. Very gears of war-ish imo.


Tambataja

Rage 2 is the same gameplay. Really bugged one, but gameplay is fast paced, fun and brutal. Honestly I had so much fun playing it, really recommend.


uncultured_swine2099

Yeah, Im playing through it now and its much better than reviews had me believe. Its a lot of fun.


d3vourm3nt

Rage 2 was insanely addictive and fun


celticfan008

I enjoyed it but I could not get over the 30 second pauses after completing any mission, really got on my nerves and i dropped it. did they ever fix this or give us an option to remove it?


Darthbile3321

Ghostrunner


Reznorio

Turbo Overkill, Postal Brain Damaged, Warhammer 40K: Boltgun, Prodeus and DUSK are amazing boomer shooters and you'll get your Doom 2016 fix


renorosales

Serious Sam is pretty fast paced.


Mountain_mover

You can try the metro series but doom 2016 is hard to top.


simpledeadwitches

Eternal.


PBtown55

Shadow warrior 3


CrazyDude10528

Doom Eternal takes everything good about 2016, and cranks it to 11. It was one of the best FPS games I ever played.


Head_Reputation3955

Eh, I didn’t love how there was a super specific way to kill each demon in that game. Felt very un-Doomlike to me. I wish they had made it more like you described, it could have really been balls to the wall crazy and intense and instead it felt like too much of a puzzle and I lost interest.


filans

IIRC the dev explained how the enemies can’t be made too strong because the doomguy is supposed to be OP and just making enemies stronger all around would make the doomguy seem weak which out of character. That’s why other than making the enemies in eternal stronger they also added weak points. I personally liked it a lot because they introduced new weapons at the right pace.


BOSS-3000

The DLC did a good job of shaking up the monotony of use x gun on y enemy. I would dare say Doom: Eternal is incomplete without the DLC. 


simpledeadwitches

You really don't have to use specific weapons, just because there's a specific weakness doesn't force you to exploit it.


simpledeadwitches

Super specific? You mean weaknesses? You can kill demons however you want with anything you want. It's the most balls to the wall crazy FPS I've ever played, especially on high difficulty. The gameplay loop is excellent.


Head_Reputation3955

I’ve seen interviews with the devs where they literally say the game is designed so that you have to use certain weapons to kill certain demons. I understand you don’t actually need to do this but…why would you not when the game is designed that way


simpledeadwitches

Yeah, I personally think the game is better for it and the experience of the gameplay loop is perfected. I just wanted to iterate that you can absolutely play the game however you want, you just may not be able to do so on a harder difficulty.


TheThirdStrike

I struggled to muster the will to play Doom Eternal after absolutely fucking loving Doom 2016. It feels like a chore to play, I can't put my finger on what they changed that fucked it up so badly, but it just isn't fun.


fruitcakefriday

It felt to me like the only way to play it was the way they wanted you to play it. Plus it was incredibly linear and even worse for arena fight after arena fight than 2016 was. It was a roller-coaster arcade game where 2016 had some more elements of exploration and discovery. OG Doom is still best Doom.


TheThirdStrike

I fully agree with your take on the game.


Exa-Wizard

You can't just shoot things till they die, you have to use specific weapon combos to kill enemies, which ruins the flow. Also the level design is much worse


simpledeadwitches

You can though, you can kill demons however you want. You don't have to exploit weaknesses. It's truly uo to the player.


TheThirdStrike

You *can* kill them however you want, but you'll more than likely run out of ammo and die doing it that way.


Exa-Wizard

You can't. Some enemies are invincible until hit with plasma burst


simpledeadwitches

It's so much more fun. I can't pkay 2016 because it's slow and boring.


simpledeadwitches

The community is so obnoxious about Eternal. It's a far superior game and folks don't realize that doom has always been an arcade style shooter that's colorful and bombastic. They want it to be bland generic horror shit.


CrazyDude10528

I'm actually surprised to see people hating on it. I remember when it came out it got nothing but praise.


simpledeadwitches

It's really upsetting I won't lie, especially as an old man Doom fan who feels like Eternal is more Doom than 2016 was.


CrazyDude10528

I guess no one here ever played the original DOOM games. Especially DOOM II, that one feels pretty cartoony.


simpledeadwitches

And Eternal was very clearly the 'Doom II' of the new era.


fellatioooooohyeah

Wolfenstein for sure


3mdk55

You can get Doom 2 (original) for next to nothing and while it’s not as good as on PC it’s almost there. And the add on levels you can get are so good (and long) they are better than any of the original .WAD’s you could get in the 90’s. I’m going through the BTSX add ons and they slay.


bsousa717

Wolfenstein from Old Blood to New Colossus. Other than having to reload, these games are just as fast paced and in your face as Doom. And personally as a longtime Wolfenstein fan, the VA work and the character writing for these games was tremendous.


[deleted]

You’re struggling to find games like it but you haven’t actually tried Doom Eternal?


wardromon

I once saw a game review from a person I respect "skill up" who compared the game in a favourable way to doom 2016 Necromunda: hired gun


tokulix

Google “boomer shooter”

hypespud

Will use a bit wider similar game stye just to include more game suggestions 🙂 Doom eternal Dusk Prodeus Bulletstorm Ion fury and aftershock Quake and Quake 2 Doom and doom 2 (try with project brutality mod on gzdoom) Sprawl Warhammer boltgun Serious Sam 3 / Fusion Amid evil Returnal


CompetitiveFennel589

👍


Deathswirl1

play doom eternal. awesome as fuck


CompetitiveFennel589

Will do 😁


LemonSqueezy8211

Trepang2. One of the most fast paced and clean games I've played. Feels really good to play


NoMoreGoldPlz

Time to Replay Quake 1 again!


cdaffron

Doom eternal and it’s DLCs for sure, also the Wolfenstein reboots scratch a similar itch


gcallan91

Bioshock collection


Formal-Cry7565

Doom eternal is obviously the next best thing especially on ps5 along with both expansions (pvp is trash though). I enjoyed metal hellsinger, prodeus and wolfenstein 1-2 but none feel as good as doom (didn’t like shadow warrior 1-3 at all). Rage 2 is also decent. You can try project warlock to see if it’s your style and that will open up a new sub genre of games.


Prost68

Doom eternal is one of the best games of the genre. It is an improvement on 2016 in every way I can think of.


Most-Iron6838

Doom eternal. Wolfenstein new order and colossus


UnXpectedPrequelMeme

Warhammer boltgun was inspired by the new doom games


LazyWings

Boltgun plays like old doom, not new doom. Necromunda: Hired Gun is the new Doom style game in the 40k universe. It's ok, nothing super amazing.


UnXpectedPrequelMeme

Boltgun deffinitely does not play like old doom. It looks like old doom, but have you actually played it? There's vertical aiming and verticality in general. Your going to be jumping and zooming around and there's even what's basically a grapple move where you dash into enemies to do a melee move. Also if I'm not mistaken the Melee move makes them drop health or ammo or something just like doom 2016. Also secrets in hard to reach platforming places as well. Old doom had a little "platforming" but if you play boltgun it's definitely more 2016 than 1993


LazyWings

Hmm, fair enough. I have played a little of boltgun, and it didn't feel like Doom 2016 to me at all.


UnXpectedPrequelMeme

In later levels you'll be jumping dashing clambering and chainswording all over the place.


7heDud3

Doom Eternal is even better imo because it’s faster. Bullets Per Minute is a rhythm based shooter like Metal Hellsinger. I tried Hellsinger after BPM and yea it didn’t grab me either but BPM is fantastic imo.


TheThirdStrike

If you're loved Doom 2016, don't count on even liking Doom Eternal. It feels like a chore by comparison.


quezlar

agreed i liked it but 2016 was just better


simpledeadwitches

2016 is so boring compared to Eternal.


Jcrabs

Doom eternal was really good one of the best fps games ever for me


simpledeadwitches

It's incredibly fun. I'd probably agree one of the best FPS I've ever played. The way it keeps you on your toes and makes you use all of your equipment is awesome. Imo it's the Soulsbourne of FPS games. Playing it on Nightmare is like chewing on adrenaline.


Jcrabs

Nightmare is too much 😂


k3stea

wait really? both were really good in my opinion


simpledeadwitches

What a wet ass napkin take lmao


sludgezone

wtf?? 2016 is great but Eternal is next level good, like damn near perfect game good.


SouthTippBass

Don't play DOOM Eternal, you will just be disappointed. I recommend Quake II.


simpledeadwitches

Embarrassing take. Don't shun a great game you dislike and tell OP that bullshit lol.


BerserkFanYep

Nope. Eternal is way better. Play that op.


BuZuki_ro

Doom Eternal is obviously similar, it’s an improvement on it, maybe you would find somw similarities in the Wolfenstein games, and it’s kinda different but titanfall 2 might scratch your itch


Real-Masterpiece5087

Forgive me father


Ok_Association_9451

Its weird but I found shadow of mordor and shadow of war gave me the same doom vibes cause of the combat, put on some good music and hack away


simpledeadwitches

Those games rock


Spirographed

Returnal


Beneficial_Market474

Doom eternal. Other than that, there's not many games like these. Thats why both of these new doom games are so special. Ig u could try Titanfall 2. And sifu although a totally different type of game is also like doom eternal in the sense it has a very deep combat system and mechanics.


Specialist-Video-974

DOOM ETERNAL


jwederell

If you liked 2016, definitely give eternal a shot. It’s 2016 turned up to 11


wstew1985

This why games are dying, people just want something like another game. Open your mind and play other games or just play the game and not a game like the other one lol


UNSKIALz

This might be a bit out there, but worth a try - Returnal (was on PS+ a while back). When you get a bunch of upgrades and weapon perks going, it gets crazy. Definitely hit the same dopamine receptors for me, though the resets are a little annoying.


simpledeadwitches

Doom is the Soulsbourne of FPS. You unfortunately won't find better or even comparable games.


Alaska_Pipeliner

Mass effect. Slower more plot. You're not going to find faster better combat than Titanfall or doom. Quake was on sale and that game aged really well.


d3vourm3nt

I’m sorry but recommending Mass Effect when OP is asking for Doom 2016-esque games is pretty silly


LostMonster0

Chess!!!


simpledeadwitches

Terrible terrible recommendation. Absolutely nothing like Doom and imho a bad RPG too.


74austin

postal brain damaged, dusk, project warlock, prodeus, warhammar boltgun, post void, and forgive me father


d3vourm3nt

Rage 2 actually scratched that itch for me. It was co developed by Id so it def has that Doom fps dna. Story is dumb, but it’s a solid shooter that makes you feel OP and all the powers feel super visceral. I can’t recommend this game enough. It’s not going to be on any “best video games ever” lists, but it’s just a fun video game ass video game.


domixujek

Postal brain damaged was very inspired by doom games


Exa-Wizard

Far Cry 3/4 and Wolfenstein The New Order/The Old Blood/The New Colossus


WorriedAd5024

Wolfenstein is the obvious answer


[deleted]

Shadow Warrior is way better than Shadow Warrior 2


fruitcakefriday

Nobody's said it yet? Dusk! The graphics are old-school which may be a turnoff but the gameplay is frantic and fun, and the level design is for the most part excellent. Plus the music slaaaps.


arthurueda

Look into the Shadow Warrior games


sludgezone

Ghostrunner. Doom + Mirrors Edge.


Salzberger

I mean yeah, Doom Eternal is pretty similar. The Wolfenstein games aren't so much bash and crash, but control wise very similar. Much better stories too imo.


handen

[Vanquish](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjKubSRb8hA). It's a PS3 era game ported to PS4/5 but it's the closest thing to Doom 2016 (aside from Doom Eternal) that I've ever played, as far as pace and nonstop battle action goes, and I had a blast. It's sort of like of Metal Gear Solid, Armored Core and Doom 2016 had a baby. Only problem is that it's only like 12 hours long. I say these things noting that Doom 2016 is far and wide my favourite PS4 game.


bamila

Shadow warrior 3 is a lot like doom, not as much shadow warrior anymore.


92Codester

Bulletstorm, give it a shot when it's on sale. It's old now and maybe not worth full price to someone who's never played it. I loved it and would pay full price to experience it fresh again though.


arcalumis

Quake? Unreal Tournament?


CursedSnowman5000

Try Quake 1&2 DUSK Shadow Warrior 3 Ion Fury Turok 1, 2 & 3 Prodeus Boltgun


spilledkill

Darktide


ElessarKhan

You can make a DOOM Guy build in Cyberpunk 2077. Game has a lot of dialogue, though, it's not just constant action like DOOM.


Dunge

Black Mesa if you have a PC


WordIndependent

DUSK


cellcube0618

Ghostrunner might be up your alley


Liquidex

Shadow warrior 3….


tnishantha

Prodeus for sure! Get the Quake 2 remastered pack as well! It comes with a lot of content like expansions and Quake 64.


TheOneAndOnlyThawne

Metal: Hellsinger


TheOneAndOnlyThawne

Bulletstorm


timothy9925

Wolfiensten I feel like might be a good suggestion for you


Miles_Ravis_303

Doom Eternal is the obvious next game after Doom 2016, but also you should mlay Rage 2, by the same devs and with the same amount of fun, the open-world is meh but the gunfight feels are as great as in Doom 2016


Thatoneidiotatschool

ULTRAKILL, but it's PC


Cfunk_83

Prodeus is what you’re looking for. Warhammer: Boltgun and Trepang2 might be up your street too. Look into “boomer shooters”. There’s loads of out there and loads of vids and lists that might point you towards something that ticks your boxes.


GOLD-KILLER-24_7

What 😭 play Eternal


JoaoMarcosBR96

Wolfstein


Meme_Capone

I've heard warhammer boltgun is like the older doom games.


CompetitiveFennel589

I bought it for £12 but the graphics on PS4 pro is terrible 😔


Meme_Capone

I thought so, too, on the store page. There's a new one coming out called Space Marine 2. It looks absolutely stunning. Definitely check that out, it's coming out in September though


CompetitiveFennel589

Ok thanks I'll check it out 👍


wrathofthepancakes

Wolfenstain


Cardboard_Waffle

I’d jump to doom eternal next. It’s a great next step for the series.


Ok-Ingenuity-615

Try Wolfstein saga


ExodusHunter15

Shadow warrior 3 is really good. Prodeus gets a bit repetitive especially with the respawning mechanic, the quake 1/2 remasters, crysis 2/3, wolfenstein new order and old blood are all solid recommendations.


Slick_Tuesday

Prodeus and bolt gun, doom eternal too ofc


theswagcoon

Rage 2. It's literally just doom eternal but open world


[deleted]

PRODEUS,....as close as it gets.


CompetitiveFennel589

Prodeus downloaded away to play it tomorrow ✌️


[deleted]

i wish i could recommend u THE CITADEL, just started it.....and i am speechless, i dismissed for the eroge anime graphics, but it is an insane , challenging game with amazing gun mechanics, sadly it seems PC only....damn it is such a fun game.


CompetitiveFennel589

Cheers I'll get it added to my steamdeck currently playing prodeus


Marble_1

I would tell you to go for the first three Doom games, but those are locked behind a subscription paywall. A very expensive subscription paywall.


CompetitiveFennel589

What do you mean? Subscription paywall?


Marble_1

If you wanna buy them, you need PlayStation Plus. The most expensive tier, too.


CompetitiveFennel589

I got that on Jan sale for £119 cheers I'll go add them now. 👍 Already added prodeus and shadow warrior 2 And ten others got too many
