Late port on a handheld platform with weaker power - yes it was to expect reviews would go this way.

I want it. But not $80 CAD want it. Hope it goes on sale during the holidays (or other games go on sale)

They've already played and reviewed Doom as a point of reference on the other platforms, so they only need to show how the Switch version holds up in comparison. It was always going to be a lower quality version, but it's good to see that it compares reasonably well.
The portability will be enough of a selling point for many.

What do you mean 'of course'?

I wasn't that keen on it, on xbox one with the faster frame rate and graphics. I got a bit bored after a while, still enjoyed it for an occasionally bash when I fancied playing something different. Reviews seem fair, downgrade in graphics and half the frame rate. I wouldn't pay top dollar for it. I paid about £8-9 for it on xbox one pre-owned. I wouldn't want to pay more than that. For me Skyrim or Fallout 4 are more important games as they have a lot more content and give much better value.

The only pro, is the portability the rest is the same quality or worse.

Portability is a pretty sweet pro.

I don't think you could use portability as a reason to score a game higher, even though it's obviously a big selling-point.
You still have to judge a game based on how it feels to play.

I'm certain the game was never intended to be played natively on a handheld (not anytime this decade), so the fact they could make a straight port this competent and comparable, is extremely impressive.

I can't wait to try it soon, and see if I also want to wait for Wolfenstein II on Switch.

Noted. Picking up my copy tomorrow.

You sure as heck can.

Take Captain Toad Treasure Tracker. That was a great game, imo. I would rate it like 7.5-8/10

If that game had come out on the switch instead of the WIi U though, I would rate it probably between an 8-8.5/10

Yes same game sure, but the option of playing it portable is a huge plus. Picking up your switch and popping out a level or two before bed or on the bus, or ect just would mess so well. Portability improves that game.

Now for Doom? IDK. Maybe for some. I don't see me using the portable factor at all if I were to get this game. Doom has always been a sitting on computer chair, lights off, sound up and killing demons to me.
