DOOM: The Dark Ages

10/10

Yes!!!

This game was good before the DLC. Some would say not as good as DOOM Eternal. I can kinda see why some think that way since the combat is very different. I liked both games equally, for different reasons. Eternal had the very fast paced combat, with dashes, doublejumps, meathook swings, And it was alot about momentum and precision. The Dark Ages is all about the grounded gameplay with parry timings and it has some fantastic boss fights compared to Eternal. With the new DLC they added, it is without a doubt the best version of DOOM that we have had so far. The main thing that makes me say this is the Chain spear, and the upgrades you will eventually unlock with it. The spear has taken the best things from DOOM Eternals combat and brought it into this game, which means you now have fast paced combat from Eternal, mixed with all the cool new elements of The Dark Ages. This gives the game a completely new feel and gives you sooooo many options for how you fight. The game doesnt force you to choose either the spear or the shield, later in the game it actually encourages you to strategically switch between them mid fights, for different scenarios, which is incredibly satisfying to learn. The difficulty of the DLC is perfectly adjusted for the power of the spear, And the whole campaign + Endgame has just waaaay better design than the base game, which was also good. No boring flying sections, just pure pure non-stop adrenaline. If you liked the base game here, but were missing some of the pace from Eternal, then this is a must play.

You feel like a tank! The story is pretty standard fair, but gameplay is enjoyabe.

a pale imitation of the first two dooms

RIP AND TEAR
