DOOM: The Dark Ages

DOOM: The Dark Ages Desde o excelente reboot lançado em 2016, a franquia Doom voltou a figurar como um dos pilares fundamentais dos FPS e jogos de ação em primeira pessoa, graças à sua gameplay intensa, nível elevado de desafio e uma abordagem que premia a movimentação constante e abordagem agressiva. Em 2020, Doom Eternal elevou a série a um novo patamar de qualidade e ofereceu o melhor jogo da história da série até então, o que naturalmente gerou enorme expectativa para o aguardado Doom: The Dark Ages, que volta ao passado da franquia e serve como um elo de ligação entre a era clássica dos anos 1990 e a era moderna, iniciada com o reboot. Em muitos aspectos, The Dark Ages cumpre o que promete e oferece mais um ótimo jogo, agora com uma abordagem um pouco mais lenta e com bem menos verticalidade que Doom: Eternal. Por outro lado, The Dark Ages traz uma série de mecânicas defensivas inéditas, com destaque para o versátil escudo de Slayer, o combate a bordo do gigantesco robô Atlan e até mesmo a possibilidade de voar e lutar controlando o dragão Serrat. È fantastico você tem uma baixa nostalgia nos gráficos atuais, Embora não ofereça uma campanha do mesmo nível de Doom: Eternal, Doom: The Dark Ages é mais um acerto da iD Software desde o reboot lançado em 2016. Impulsionado por novidades muito bem-vindas à franquia, como o combate com mechas e a possibilidade de voar e lutar controlando um dragão, o novo capítulo da série é um título obrigatório para fãs de FPS e jogos de ação em geral. Com uma enorme variedade de armas que mudam completamente o combate, inimigos com mecânicas bastante distintas entre si e mapas com muitos segredos a serem explorados, Doom: The Dark Ages diverte do começo ao fim. Contudo, a aposta em mergulhar excessivamente em uma história desinteressante e com personagens unidimensionais mostra um foco exagerado em um aspecto que nunca foi o ponto forte da franquia. Ainda assim, The Dark Ages parece ser o embrião de uma nova fase de Doom e se destaca como um dos melhores FPSs da nova geração, esperando logo um novo doom quem sabe faça ligação com doom Eternal e continue com a história.

When this was first announced, I was extremely confused and dubious. I gave it a cursory look at release via gamepass and quickly decided it wasn't for me - too big of a deviation from the stuff I like about DOOM and far too much emphasis on lore and story. I picked it up again when Revelations dropped and it actually clicked a lot more this time, enough for me to go through the game, but my core issues are still there. Dark Ages is excellent for half of its runtime, when the game still has comprehensive enemy encounters built around momentum and option select. This is chiefly because early game enemies tend to have more varied attack patterns and are used in far more interesting setups. For a good while, it's actually really solid. The second half is middling. It's not bad, it's just a point where the game begins to really fatigue. The chief culprit of this is the parry system, which is ubiquitous throughout the game but becomes overwhelmingly the main mechanic once you hit the halfway mark, and it's just not good enough to justify how perpetual it gets. A lot of Doom Dark Ages is sort of tedious by volume. Map completion tends to be a chore, challenges aren't particularly creative or interesting, the setpiece additions like the dragon and the mech are genuinely just thin air stretched out over way too long with far too little to do and none of the mechanical complexity that makes the base game fun. The story, for how omnipresent it is, is also frankly bad. I could never shake the feeling that this should have been some sort of Quake installment over Doom. It's entirely possible and honestly recommended to skip the story altogether. There are exactly two cutscenes worth watching in the whole game. The DLC, however, is much better. That's in part because it skips the grind of upgrading your core arsenal, and much more importantly because parrying is no longer your one and only core mechanic. The game feels like it truly becomes realized when you get to switch between shield, spear and every gun at will, but it only lets you do so for a very short amount of time in only a handful of levels. It feels cruel that the spear is just not in the base game. In short, worth picking up on sale like I did if you get the DLC with it. You can honestly play the base game as a tutorial then as soon as you're comfortable with the weapons ditch it and move on to Revelations. I came out of it feeling a little peeved, because the encounters that are bad really highlight just how limited this particular framework is for Doom.

The best game and great DLC. I grew up on this series. Doom is in my heart forever.

Awesome shooter

This game bangs, actually. Each of the chapters seem to end just before they overstay their welcome. Some of the gameplay does get a bit repetitive, insofar as some of the combat mechanics like the shield usage. DLC is pretty good, the spear I thought was a little clunky at first, but I can see the potential, but the number of key binds to use in such a fast paced game kind of adds to its clunkiness, imo. The music is not memorable, it's okay, and I can sometimes hear callbacks to older games in it, but other than that it isnt noteworthy. Probably like 7.5-8/10 Better than Eternal, not as good as 2016

雖然比不上前作的高機動性爽快 但是盾牌的引入和簡潔的操作仍然讓它成爲一款佳作

С одной стороны хочется поругать знакомого за спойлеры к думу ("спойлеры к думу" уже смешно). С другой стороны не скажи он, что в дополнении нашлась тварь, что смогла победить Палача, я бы никогда не прикоснулся к одному из лучших шутеров. Потому что в прошлом году все только и говорили, какой же Dark Ages скучный и проходной. Особенно, секции робота и дракона, которые должны были быть прям разъебными. На мой взгляд, эти секции наоборот дают немного отдохнуть от неебически крутого геймплея с кучей возможностей как можно грохнуть демона. И даже они играются интересно, хоть и не особо разнообразно. На счет сюжета. Вроде говорили, что эта часть ничего нового не рассказывает. На мой взгляд, там приехало достаточно лора. Рассказали и главное, что показали быт и нравы стражей, про их взаимодействие с Творцами. Как строился конфликт между стражами, демонами и Творцами. Еще даже в кинули предысторию Палача. Музыка мне понравилась, кстати, больше, чем в Eternal. Не хочу объяснять почему, просто дело вкуса. В целом, игра мне так понравилась, что прошел запоем. И если на Бонде я порой прям страдал от скуки, не запускал днями, то тут постоянно хотелось вернуться к игре. В итоге это был первый дум, который я прошел, так еще и с дополнением. 10 из 10 крутых игр по Вархаммеру, как примеров как нужно делать игры по вахе. Палач тут очень хорошо ощущается как сверхчеловечный свехчеловек, который делает дела. На порядок лучше, чем это было показано в Спаси Марину.
