Doom 2016 is less than two dollars. Id’s superb reboot of its own 1993 FPS is currently available at a 90% discount thanks to Steam’s spring sale. With a current RRP of £15.99/$19.99 that discount brings the price down to £1.59 in the UK, or as I have already stated numerous times, less than two dollars in the US.
This is a preposterously good deal. Doom 2016 is probably the best singleplayer shooter of the last decade, reviving id’s genre-defining game as a muscular and propulsively aggressive shooter. Reversing the more scripted, Half-Life-ish leanings of Doom 3 (which Doom 4 would have continued had it not been cancelled), Doom 2016 is all about momentum and mechanics, centring around its ingenious glory-kill system where brutally executing enemies gives you the health you need to keep on killing.
