Mace007 Doom: The Dark Ages Review
Jun 16, 2025
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 thought, I disliked the mech combat, dragon combat, and narrative more than I anticipated. For the first time since 2016, I’d really like to see Hugo Martin and his team at id Software pursue a different IP outside of Doom.
