Came away from this pretty disappointed, overall. This just gets so repetitive, so quickly. The super shotgun is comically better than any of the other weapon choices. The locales are not distinct in any way and the 'dark ages' setting is basically a concept gimmick that has no relevance to
While I still enjoyed the game, it’s my least favorite game since the reboot in 2016. If you choose to pursue the collectibles, which are required for upgrading weapons, the pacing of the action is slowed to the point of boredom. While I enjoyed the parry mechanics more than I
This is definitely a good Doom game, but for me, probably the least enjoyable of the three. The large removal of execution animations made things seem less impactful as a whole. The story is completely throwaway until about 2/3 of the way through. The moment to moment is what you'd
The game delivers unimaginable action—utterly ferocious and overwhelming. When you're in the Slayer's body, you feel like a full-blown hurricane that nothing can stop. Especially once you learn to use the shield and weapons as a unified system, you truly become unstoppable.
That said, I did feel at times (while playing
It's not the best Doom, but still a good Doom. I found it more slow-paced, less frantic than the previous ones, with long periods of exploration where there wasn’t much to do—just collecting upgrade items. I missed the music; it's much less present throughout the game and far less epic.
I was expecting so much more out of this, and most of it felt disappointing. It really feels like the devs spent 90% of the time on the main combat, graphics, and sound design, but the rest was an afterthought or ideas that were never fully fleshed out.
And there were
Just finished Doom: The Dark Ages
I had a blast with this one. I really liked the huge levels with the outside areas. The shield melee mix worked well for me. I know some people are writing about not liking the changes compared to Eternal, but honestly I'm fine with changes,
The video game of course is top-notch but what I absolutely love beyond anything is the music! The music is so mesmerizing that when you play this game you really can't function without it. Try playing this game on mute I bet you couldn't do it. Hearing that score playing
I'm not sure about the direction they're taking.
After Doom Eternal. I was hoping for something that pushed the speed, aggression, and mechanical depth even further, not something that slows things down. The medieval setting could've worked, but paired with heavier movement and a shield-based combat system, it feels like the
DOOM: The Dark Ages is everything a DOOM game should be: pure adrenaline and power. The game is lightning-fast, boasting a wide variety of weapons and numerous enemy types. Boss fights surpass DOOM Eternal’s with their intense pacing and creative mechanics, while the dynamic finishers are the cherry on top,
It's Doom but a little slower - more of the same carnage and I love it. Never change!
Don't listen to the haters. This game both plays awesome and feels awesome. It's not even close to being slow.
It might be the best modern DOOM game! Cinematics are next level when compared to the previous entries, levels are bigger, more detailed and incredibly designed and combat is a breath of a fresh air. Lately, I've been tired of exploration in games, but just like with Eternal, the developers
Great game, half way through and love it. Really like the Shield and game play.
