Cool game, DLC made is x20 better. Welcome back Doom Eternal.
Doom: The Dark Ages Review : I was one of those who did not like the approach this game was going for. I did not like this new gameplay loop from what I saw in the reviews, gamplay videos. Still, it being a DOOM game and made by ID, I decided to gave it a try. The gamplay didn't feel like what I thought it would be, it is good, its fun. 8/10 Then, DLC came out, and holy ♥♥♥♥♥, that turned this game from OK to amazing! The gamplay loop is cracked af and its difficult to go back to the base game after this. Wow! what a dlc! What a game! 11/10

The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 4: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I made it to Chapter 19 on Nightmare and quit. Easily the worst of all the modern Doom games. Combat is just a series of neverending quick times, and laughably easy. They tried to put a story in the game and it just doesn't work. Why do I have to listen to some NPCs sob story? I don't care about her or her dad. I want to put the fear of God into Demons. There are points in the game where you don't even feel like the main character; it is bizzare. Awful.
Cons: 1. I don't know if it is a glitch or what, but for some reason I was unable to get a steady FPS with path tracing turned on this time around. When I first played the game last year on Xbox GamePass I had no such issues. Might get patched in the future. 2. The Dark Ages compared to Eternal and Doom (2016) is 1-2 missions too long and could have used a bit of a trim. By the penultimate level I was ready to be done (even if everything I was doing as the Slayer was still metal as hell). 3. DLC Con: The learning curve on the new spear is a bit steep for such a short experience and I never really managed to master the controls by the end (I do still have some clean up on End Game stuff though). Pros: 1. At first I was not on board with the more defensive/tank-like nature of the Slayer in this game, but then something clicked and I fell in love with this style of fighting. Then, in the last third, I realized this was the Bloodborne-style game I've been craving since 2015. 2. I actually dig the story in this one. It takes some interesting swerves in the final act that had me going, "huh, I'm shocked it took them this long to go there, but I'm glad they did." 3. Graphically (other than my path tracing issue) the idTech engine is still a beast and I was getting a steady 240 FPS for the whole journey with barely a dropped frame. It amazes me how these people continue to do it (but now they are laid off which is legitimate tragedy). 4. DLC Pro: I was excited for the Revelations DLC, but I didn't expect to be floored by it. Other how odd the controls are, the story was deeply compelling. Almost more compelling than the main game. They keep finding new and interesting ways to make the Slayer among the top tier of video game characters regardless of his mute nature (which just adds to it) Is Dark Ages better than Eternal. No. Eternal is one of my favorite games of all time, but it is deeply commendable for id to try something new rather than just repeat what they did in Eternal. I hope they are able to make a follow up. I'm far more interested in a sequel to this rather than Eternal.
I like it more than Eternal
解密太多影响战斗爽 我到底是在玩doom还是密室逃脱 用复杂的地形诱导玩家找不到目标强行拉高游玩时长 真有一套 这游戏公司赶紧黄了吧别糟蹋这个好id跟玩家钱包了
Худший дум, в который я играл. Всего того, что я любил в этёрнале, более нету. Игра стала гораздо медленнее, у игрока забрали возможность избежать получения урона, в игре более нету деша в стороны. Новый Шит не может этого компенсировать в полной мере, ведь щит вынуждает тебя парировать врагов в ПЕРЕД ТОБОЙ, И ПАРИРОВАТЬ ТЫ НЕ СМОЖЕШЬ ВСЕХ, а 2 ,ну максимум 3 или 4 противника. Те, кто, стоят сбоку от тебя будут тебя просто JlИ3диTb. (и да, быстро двигаться ты теперь можешь только вперёд) Больше никак врывов и уничтожение противника на реакции, тут у нас парирования теперь, а ускорение только вперёд. Спасибо большое. Отдельно хочу добавить спасибо за появление противников-турелей. Именно этого игре не хватало. Ведь именно стоящей туши, которая СТОИТ И cEpИT по тебе с дистанции, не имея при этом атак ближнего боя, и не хватало. Ты не можешь одним метким выстрелом отстрелить назойливый пулемёт при помощи пробойника, ведь теперь он не ломается, у нас тут ШАГ ВПИРЁТ) и ты либо терпишь спам и сражаешься с остальными, в ожидании расправы с этим сраным пауком, либо идёшь через всю араву с целью уничтожить его первым. Стоит добавить деградацию окружающих тебя арен, больше никакого веселья, когда ты летел на джамп паде и стрелял из ракетомёта, арены теперь строго горизонтальные. А то вдруг работяга после работы не сможет разобраться в арене с вертикальностью? А от такого проджаи падают. Боёвка на мехе вообще не впечатляет, она максимально примитивная. Не могу не отметить подачу сюжета и кат-сцен. Показывают новых персонажей так, будто ты смотришь сериал, у которого уже было 22 сезона. Кто это, зачем они воюют, что 6Jl9дb за аргент сердце ♥♥♥♥♥ оно нужно? Да чёрт его знает. Оно сильное. Хватит на этом. Кат-сцены, местами, обрываются на половине слова. Вот ты добрался до конца уровня, тебе показывают Короля Новика, Палач поднялся при помощи поврежденного меха... выстрел!... Король новик бежит, бежит.... и кат-сцена резко обрывается и тебе показывают подсчёт итогов. В ведьмаке 3 охоте крепкой они более логичные, чем тут. Ну и заправить коричневый торт хочется музыкой, которая тут никакая от слова совсем. Если музыку из Дум2016 и дум этёрнал я ставил на тытубе при игре в другие игры и помню её до сих пор, то музыка из этой игры забывается сразу после выхода из неё. И да, кстати, где глори килы делись? Резюмируя - это не тёмные века, это - Doom the scuf age
it's cute
Weapons, environments and enemy design are all completely forgettable. Nothing has any bite or personality, everything's insipid and uninspired. The soundtrack does nothing to compensate, it's just there, and goes unnoticed five minutes after you hear it. Combat's nothing but a Simon-says QTE simulator. Green flash = slowmo parry, built for ADHD brains that need a constant win state fed to them. No flow to it, just an endless string of QTEs. On top of that you get the dragon and turret sections thrown in as padding completely disconnected from the actual combat loop, breaking whatever pacing the game had going on. Marvelsop tier writing, supposedly serious cutscenes chopped off mid-line to dump you back on the chapter select screen. Whatever narrative momentum they're trying to build gets killed at the end of every single chapter. 79.99€ slop that recommends a 3080 to look worse than 2016 btw.
НИКОГДА. НИ-КО-ГДА не понимал типов которые осуждают дум етернал и дум зе дарк ейджес то за слишком легкий геймплей, то за слишком тяжелый геймплей, ведь если ты просто решил спамить лкм-мом, то тебе даже не стоит покупать эти игры, а так я очень советую эту игру
