You are not exactly going to be firing up Doom Eternal on your Chromebook then… (though maybe Stadia, GeForce Now and co. might have something to say about that).
If you supply Doom Eternal’s demands and fire the game up on the PC, what are you getting in return?

Doom Eternal isn’t for gamers who like to take a measured, methodical approach. Instead, it’s a rip-roaring gore festival, with plenty of up-close melee action and frantic resource scavenging.
It looks good too. Or at least, it will if your PC is up to scratch. Take a look at some of the goriest moments from our hands on below…
