I always treated Doom as a horror, but not survival horror.

Its fast-paced dynamics are built-in. You don't hide, you charge, you shoot while running. You bring hell to knees at their own game with sheer firepower and brutality.

Unless, as you say, it is a "reverse survival horror" https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/ew1gfu/doom_is_a_surv...

In that line, I retrospectively see Doom 2016 as an interaction between two villains. Samuel Hayden, a well-mannered mastermind. And you no-talk all-action, resolving all with force, and ripping demons with your bare hands.
