DOOM: The Dark Ages

лучший дум из всех частей и к нему лучшее длс, кароче, лучшему лучшее

vuruş hissiyatı önceki oyunlara nazaran daha hissedilebilir olmasına rağmen bu kadar yavaş bir oynanışı olması bir doom oyununa yakışmamış bence overall 8.5/10 çok güzel oyun

After freshly coming from Doom Eternal, this game felt like a step back; it was slow, most of the 'tech' from Eternal, like quick swapping, wasn't a thing; the game felt kinda odd compared to the other DOOM games and MUCH slower. Don't get me wrong, the gameplay feels good, it's just different and you need time to understand it, (but on a small note, it's more repetitive compared to Eternal, as in you pretty much use the same 2-3 weapons instead of the whole arsenal; it's not necessarily a bad thing, since it's not meant to be Eternal anyways). After this, the game is pretty okay, it's not at the level of Eternal but it's enjoyable enough. You gotta hand it to them, the sound design and graphics are top notch; the medieval atmopshere is there, and it does feel more 'realistic' and more impressing than the arcady style of Eternal. One great addition in my opinion, is the 'open world' levels; it feels great to be able to somewhat choose what to do next, and the added exploration is very fun! But oh boy, what a blast is the DLC. The story is just peak at its finest. It adds new mechanics with the spear and the 'Eternal movement'. The beginning is very rough, but after a few hours, you get the hang of it, and then it became the best DOOM game for me. Truly, I can't express my satisfaction enough and the fun I had; it's a like a new game. Something that I'd like to add, is that they did an amazing job at implementing these new mechanics; you don't just use the new ones, and forget about the old ones; the game favorises using both of them to excel in combat. The DLC levels are also EXTREMELY well designed; you get a mix of intense boss battles and encouters, as well as puzzles (which are more complex and fun to solve than the ones in the base campaign), and an ENORMOUS amount of excellent content after finishing the main story with the End Game Progression. With the DLC, The Dark Ages went from a 7.5/10 to a 10/10 for me. If you're having doubts about the DLC, don't, it's genuinely the best addition to the game; I couldn't recommend it enough. Sidenote: ♥♥♥♥ Microsoft. TL;DR: The base game on itself is okay; it's an upgrade in the visual and audio departments, but is lacking movement and 'fluidity' (the game is more casual, which doesn't mean it's ultimately bad, it's just a different game from Eternal), get the dlc at the same time if you're looking for a more Eternal type gameplay, but I would recommend getting it either way because it's just SO good.

its the best doom game

Great addition to the Doom series! The Parry mechanics take some getting used to be once mastered offer alot of fun.

Justice for id Software. With 500 hours across the classic games, 2016, and Eternal, I'm a pretty big DOOM fan and was anticipating this to be a great game like the rest, but needed a GPU upgrade to play. I ended up getting that upgrade and this game shortly after the team at id Software was gutted by layoffs. The sheer amount of talent at that studio that had the opportunity to grow with each other while making groundbreaking game after groundbreaking game that lost their jobs the day before the DLC released is heartbreaking and infuriating, and frankly I find it hard to not mention that in this review. In this day and age, having a team that's as talented as the folks that worked on this trilogy are and to be able to cultivate that talent and build knowledge within the studio is so rare, Microsoft and Xbox executives should be ashamed of themselves for effectively cutting this prolific studio's institutional knowledge all for earnings calls and multi-million dollar bonuses. Justice for id Software. . As for DOOM TDA, it's an excellent take on the DOOM combat we've all grown to love since 2016 that's every bit as fast, aggressive, and lethal as Eternal's. Going in, my concerns weren't too great since I trusted that the designers would make good calls, and that they did. Resource management is still here, certain weapons countering certain enemies make a return, and swapping things while managing cooldowns return, but none of these are as prominent as in Eternal, since they're all things you'll be doing while parrying projectiles, shield flying across the arenas, and duking it out with demons in melee combat. With that added layer, pulling focus back a bit from all the resource management and quick swapping keeps the combat at similar intensity levels while not overloading the player with things to keep track of. It's a really well tuned combat system. Levels are often sprawling with tons of secrets tucked away like the rest of the series going back to Knee Deep In The Dead. The visual spectacles are breathtaking and varied, as are the litany of demons, new and old, you'll be ripped and tearing. The sound design, like Eternal, is punchy with hard transients that cut through combat to alert the player well, with my only gripe being the overused warbly granular sound that seems to be so pervasive across games these days (personal preference thing since I hear it in almost every single sound demo reel I watch). The music by Finishing Move is good, but the shoes to fill from Mick Gordon, Andrew Hulshult, and David Levy's scores are absurdly massive and I don't know that it quite hit the highs it could've. Being fully honest I don't know that it should've gone in the direction it should have; I think I would've liked more medieval and Nordic folk influence than straight metal, and even the Exultia theme from Eternal has trappings of that. I haven't played much of the DLC yet, only half of the first level, but the music there has already surpassed everything in the base campaign. Review's getting long, I'm getting hungry, it's a DOOM game, it's incredible, id Software deserved so much better than what happened to them.
