The Nintendo Switch is a hit, thanks to its hybrid functionality and impressive slate of first-year games. But there’s one genre the platform has yet to prove itself with: first-person shooters. Doom, launching tomorrow, is the first. But can id Software’s ultra-fast, demon-ridden jaunt really hold up on Nintendo’s itsy handheld? The answer is yes ... but with big caveats.

One of the big reasons I was interested in Doom on Switch is the prospect of playing it in handheld mode, on a bus or subway. But upon picking up the console, playing Doom this way was pretty miserable for me.
