DOOM: The Dark Ages

really good game some levels are really long i lost few times trying to get all collectibles

Cool game, DLC made is x20 better. Welcome back Doom Eternal.

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.

When I first played this on launch, I hated it. I couldn't' stand it. I came straight out of an ultra-nightmare run for Doom Eternal, ready for more high-speed gameplay with fast movement. I was very dissatisfied after beating the first mission, so much so that I never touched it again after that. Then, when Revelations released, I figured I'd give it another go. I can't call myself a huge Doom fan if I don't even give it a chance, right? I'm glad I did!!!! While there are still a few things I think the game got wrong, i believe the things that it got right heavily outnumber them. I started my run on nightmare with the parry window as tight as it can be. I struggled, I suffered, and when I had those "lock-in" moments i felt like i hit ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nirvana dude. The gameplay loop is very different, but when it hits, it really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HITS. I just wish that 2/3rds of the weapons were fun to use. When I found my small little loadout, I never touched anything else. Maybe on the ultra-nightmare run for TDA.

This game is astounding and I had an absolute blast playing it. After how horrible The Ancient Gods content was in Eternal this felt really refreshing to play. Revelations is also probably some of the best DOOM content ever. ♥♥♥♥ Microsoft for firing half of id Software that move was really, really ♥♥♥♥♥♥. I do 100% recommend this game though it's been the most fun I had in a while. Also the OST despite not being Mick Gordon is also really good and the team behind it did much better compared to what The Ancient Gods dlc's had so props there as well. I did miss Mick Gordon's touch but the music in this game is still phenomenal. ^^

It's good

thank you for letting me get into doom, dad
