Doom is one of the most influential first-person shooter franchises of all time, having helped define the genre when the original game launched in 1993. More than three decades later, id Software's legendary Doom series remains a major name in gaming, with its brutal combat, demonic enemies, and heavy metal soundtracks continuing to attract players. The franchise has evolved considerably over the years, most recently with Doom: The Dark Ages, but one of its most celebrated entries remains the 2016 reboot, which launched on PS4, Xbox One, and Steam.
Released nearly a decade ago, Doom (2016) was a major turning point for the franchise, abandoning much of the slower, horror-focused approach of Doom 3 in favor of the aggressive, fast-paced combat that defined the original games. The reboot earned overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam and ultimately a 10/10 reputation that it upholds. Even with newer entries available, Doom remains worth revisiting, especially for players who have never experienced its campaign or want to see how id Software reinvented the series.
Doom: The Dark Ages is an eye-popping first-person shooter with nonstop action and some very welcome additions to the Slayer's arsenal.
