Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations DLC Review

Main complaint is some puzzles are deliberately designed to only be completed after end game when I have the shield and master key etc. Many instances I was left wondering how to get into a room only to find out I need the shield to smash the green circles.

It looks incredibly boring and tiring at the same time.

Doom the Dark Ages: one of very few games that caught my attention this year (obviously not counting Indies), so this DLC is a no brainer for me.

Spear and shield 's control can not overlap to each other so the remapping are fine.

One of the best expansions I’ve ever played fantastic 10/10

Genuinely one of the best DLCs I’ve ever played and a huge step up from the base game

Looks like has become Serious Sam.

Imagine if these devs did a halo game… it needs the reinvention this team would do. Halo is lame. It needs a reinvention

Doom or Serious Sam?

Sorry but those modern Doom games are too fast and look cheap

Lol. A spear! More melee xD

They saw how bad the original grounded gameplay is so now all of a sudden you can fly and dash again. Bad decisions at every step and now they are trying to cover it up. Why they made it a melee simulator in the first place???

I had a total of 1 hour of fun in this entire DLC.

Spear was jarring to use at first. Binded block and dash to the same button so whenever I dashed, I swiped with the spear as well, and it was fun for awhile cause you could brute force fights.

Then they hand you the shield and I downright wanted to unbind the switch button from spear to shield, if not for the puzzles that require the shield I would not be using it. It’s seriously upsetting to stop dead in your tracks and have to remember what buttons to press in a split second of gameplay to do what you want to do.

This DLC is what got ID shut down. It’s a complete mess. I loved 2016, I grew to love Eternal in its own right, but Dark Ages was a complete fumble. Too arcady, too slow paced, goes against everything the previous 2 games set up.

This should have been a spin off game and this DLC should have never been made, with the spear being a replacement for the shield for the entire game. Thats the only way I could ever see this game being a success and keeping the studios lights on.

Otherwise, so long Doom and ID.

This SUCKS! I wish I'd never WASTED the money on this confusing garbage. SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS!

FFS Disable motion blur dude.

Could be over with this new Doom Trilogy for a very long Time until a Reboot somewhere in the Future😢. MS is out of their Minds

8:24 Imagine telling people in 1993 that this is how games would look in 2026

I remember being in grade 3-4 playing doom 2 on my father's potatoe.
Wolfenstein, too, but I don't remember doom 1, or because the 2nd was better.

Its a 10 out of 10 for me. I hated the chain spear cause the extra mechanics cause a button overload and different configs for controller vs the shield but as a whole, Bravo. Storytelling, encounters, challenges, end game content, and more. I also got all the astreal keys and noped out of that nonsense after 1 attempt. Definitely worth checking out

Looks amazing

The game should let us customize the shield separately and let us use the dlc skins for the base game and I know it's a bit much but I'd like to customize his arms too if prefer the full gloves rather than what he has in the dlc skin

not really into a Disney-colored jumper shooter bullet hell anymore.....

would enjoy a return to horror Doom 1-2 inspired by the novels.. with a more ground, visceral, horror survival oriented gameplay

Basically they reintroduced the stupid peter pan fly all over the place garbage that eternal had, but let you use whatever weapon you liked. I regret my purchase tbh.

Should introduce 3rd person

Finished it and still hate the spear.

Peak DLC: 7
Fifa, Madden and COD: "oh, you taste so good."

out of everything XBOX decided to gut the best FPS studio in the world currently

'Steep Learning Curve' this is why I don't like modern Doom, they have over engineered it! Its an 'Extreme Arcade Sport' and lacks any sense of demonic/satanic vibes, its just Aliens that look like demons. It's amazing and I do not want to play it.

This really feels like an end of an era for this iteration of Id Software/Doom. They gave us a generational run starting with 2016, then to Eternal and The Ancient Gods, then to Dark Ages and bringing it full circle with Revelations. Each one brought a unique experience to the table, and forever am grateful for everyone involved that gave us these epic bangers.

Thank you Id, you didn’t deserve to be hit with layoffs 🫡

PUT THE GAME ON DISC! 🙄🙄🙄

Doom is soo peak but i get motion sickness playing it

The main game was really expensive to make , the price was 70 plus bucks at launch and nobody paid for it so low sales .

litterbox has failed

Such an amazing dlc I can't wait to play. I also feel bad for the people laid off for this though

Microsoft punished Id for Microsoft's own mismanagement. Legendary studio, amazing games, stupid execs

My throw for spear and shield is the same on ps5. I just press up to change it. It is pretty neat. Love this game. The button layout on a controller is so perfect. Can not imagine playing on a pc. But a pc can take a controller. Mmmmm ok. Nice review from IGN.

This might be the last Doom game.

I'm seriously loving how all of the review videos are using Until It Is Done from the soundtrack as the background music.

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Don't think I want to support a corporation that lays off their talent like that. Just in case you thought Microsoft weren't delusional corporate blood suckers

PRESERVATION FOR CUSTOMERS! CHANGE LICENCING!

0:56 shame it couldn't stop the layoffs.

This might have just ended Doom The Dark Ages on the highest of highs. Which makes it all the more unfortunate that so many of the employees at id Software were laid off.

I’m just playing right now and it’s cool

I don’t see why they couldn’t squeeze in a Doom 2016 ray tracing PS5 upgrade before abandoning Doom.

I truly don’t understand why they went after ID…..

R.I.P ID Software

Probably the best DLC in a game I’ve seen in a very long time.

Finally they acknowledge something peak as an actual peak

Absolutely unwanted DLC.
