Great mishmash of stories of the history of gaming
Great stories and wonderful narration. I just wish he would say the date each story was written before starting them. It got VERY confusing.

Fairly boring and not very relevant in 2021
Fairly boring and not very relevant in 2021. Not much to do with Doom or id software either. Stick to the first one, skip this one.

An uninspired cash in on the success of Masters of Doom
Masters of Doom was a thoroughly researched, insightful and highly entertaining account of gaming history. Prepare to Meet Thy Doom is a collection of articles that lack the depth and insight that made its predecessor so interesting and entertaining.
I can’t help but feel this is nothing more than a cheap cash in on the previous books success.
Will Wheaton once again does an excellent job of narrating but is sadly let down by the lack of interesting content.
If you are interested in what has happened to the original creators of Doom, I suggest looking up there respective Wikipedia pages. This book will give you no additional insight on their lives than that. Nor does the additional stories offer anything particularly interesting to make the book worth reading.
