Doom

id Software's Doom is the foundation a lot of modern gaming sits on. The early entries (Doom II, Ultimate Doom, Final Doom) codified the fast, weapon-juggling first-person shooter and seeded a modding culture that still thrives decades later. Doom 3 took a darker, more atmospheric detour, leaning into horror over speed.

The real second act is the 2016 reboot, which rediscovered what made the originals great: relentless forward momentum, glory kills, and a metal soundtrack built for carnage. Doom Eternal pushed that into an almost rhythmic combat puzzle, and Doom: The Dark Ages reframes the Slayer in a medieval-tech setting. The series even crossed into film twice (the 2005 movie and the direct-to-video Annihilation), though Doom has always been most itself on a keyboard with a shotgun. Few games age as gracefully as the originals, which remain endlessly playable and re-released.

The Doom franchise spans 16 games, 2 films in the CrossBinge catalog.
