Doom, The Dark Ages
Digest more
Doom: The Dark Ages is finally here after months of waiting, but if you're using any AMD Ryzen Z1-powered handheld, stay away for now.
The Dark Ages is developed by Bethesda's id Software and is the third game in the newest series that began with 2016's Doom and continued with 2020's Doom Eternal. Although the series is now owned by Microsoft, the company is releasing The Dark Ages on PS5 as part of its new multiplatform release strategy.
Doom: The Dark Ages doesn’t gatekeep. While you’re free to tackle the game on a pre-set difficulty, you can also customize your gameplay experience with a variety of sliders. These give you control over things like the difficulty and aggression of enemies, how much damage you do to demons, your parry window, and even the overall game speed.
Most historians believe the Greek Dark Ages followed the Mycenaean Era of Greece, but some disagree. What does the evidence really show?
Doom: The Dark Ages is a good shooter at its core, but as a follow-up to two of the best FPS games ever made, it falls a little flat. The new defensive combat feels like a step back, with movement getting a significant nerf, and, while Doom Slayer is still an exciting character, the story focus feels out of place.
