Fun!
The Revelations DLC with the spear makes it feel more like the Eternal high movement gameplay, which is a nice addition. Even without that, the base game is still good fun, though the story is nothing to boast about, but I doubt you're playing doom for the story.
Metal as F***
QUe buen juego loco
Einfach nur .... gut.
ES HERMOSO
I at first felt the game was too easy near launch, but the updates and the dlc have brought the game back to giving a challenge. Revelations is also a greater challenge and I approve.
FUN
Had mad fun playing the new trilogy. In times of aaa slop and half baked game releases ID always managed to deliver straight fire. Games run perfectly fine on my 6 year old rig and look beautiful. Gameplay is smooth and fun. Nightmare difficulty has you sweating buckets but still feels fair. Would reccomend if you like to rip and tear.
DOOM: The Dark Ages takes a while to get going and ocasionally stops to throw some questionable gimmicks at you, but when you're finally geared up and thrown in the middle of a long battle against hordes of demons it's some of the most fun I've had with the modern DOOM trilogy. The DLC especially is just fantastic, I would recommend getting the base game just for the that. (The current price tag is a bit high though, and with the beefy PC requirements I would recommend waiting for a sale if you're not sure you can run it smoothly).
