Except for that Ultra-Nightmare one
Doomis two days away from releasing, and it seems like we still know suspiciously little about it. Like, Bethesda has shown bits of the campaign and held multiplayer betas. Still, it all feels like one big question mark.
The recently-leaked Achievements don’t do a whole lot to clear things up. They’re mostly a series of non-specific challenges, and collectibles and upgrades. Some are dedicated to killing certain ways and others — like IDDQD and IDKFA — are throwbacks toDooms of old. For those not-so-keen on multiplayer and SnapMap, it appears as if it’ll only take a minor commitment to pick those Achievements up (unless reaching level 5 is a significant accomplishment).
The biggest takeaway might be thatDoommostly isn’t looking to punish completionists. There could easily be an Achievement for beating the entire game on Nightmare difficulty, but there isn’t. In fact,Doomaficionados would probably expect it. Instead, any difficulty, even the simplest, earns the “Knee-Deep in the Dead” Achievement. However, there is one for completing “The UAC” on the new Ultra-Nightmare permadeath setting; that sticks out like a sore thumb among a list of Achievements that don’t look too intimidating.
Here’s the full list ofDoom‘s Achievements:
The five secret Achievements look to be story beats that are extremely expected from aDoomgame. Regardless, avert your eyes if you don’t want confirmation of some things that you already know are coming.
