Super fun!
Great entry in the Doom series. I’ve played them all since the 2016 remake of the original Doom and they’ve all been great. Not much you have to think about in these games. Just hop in and kill monsters, no dialogue choices, the only thing you have to decide is which gun or ability to upgrade. There’s some light exploring and platforming but that’s about it, the game is pretty linear. If you want some bloody, testosterone fueled action then you can’t go wrong with Doom: The Dark Ages.

Misleading, Anti-Consumer, and Empty Disc
As a longtime DOOM fan and Richardson local (where id Software is based), I’m beyond disappointed. I pre-ordered DOOM: The Dark Ages for PS5 expecting a physical game. What I got was a useless disc with no game data, just a key for an 85GB download. The listing didn’t clearly state “Internet Required” and the box has a label slapped on it as an afterthought.This is deceptive and anti-consumer. Not everyone has fast internet. Physical games are supposed to work from the disc, not be glorified download tokens. When the servers go offline, this disc becomes landfill.The PC version is just as bad, shipped with Denuvo DRM, which tanks performance and serves no purpose. Everyone knows it’ll either be cracked or removed in a year anyway. So why punish your actual paying customers?DOOM used to stand for cutting-edge, honest design. Now it stands for hollow discs, DRM, and disrespect. Meanwhile, Expedition 33, an indie game with no DRM and a real disc, is breaking sales records.DO BETTER.

Bethesda and ID software pull off another classic
After playing Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal several years ago this is a great prequel to those. They made the gameplay a bit different but still really fun. Highly recommended

Worthless purchase
I’m giving this a 1 star because after receiving the game I discovered that the game isn’t actually on the disc. The disc only contains 85mb, you’ll have to download the remaining 80gb online. No where in the description or in any promotional material does it state that this is the case, making this physical release totally worthless. So if you’re someone who cares about game preservation or actually owning the games you buy, skip this one. To be fair I’ve heard the game itself is actually pretty good.

Doom video game 🤷♀️
Got this for my son and he finished it in 3 days. 22 chapters. Very good storyline.

Feels like ID Software is losing it’s identity.
Firstly, this game feels like a regression from the previous 2 Doom titles. Eternal really brought the gameplay to the next level and Dark Ages strips all that innovation away & implements a new play style, which I feel mixed about. ID Software seems like they did the bare minimum to release a polished campaign with no other content and then Microsoft decided to charge 70 dollars for a game that doesn’t have nearly the amount of replay-ability or amount of content as the previous 2 Doom titles. Then there’s these factors, there’s no data on the disc, so this is basically a disc key to the digital download. Game is okay, but Eternal was way better. Doom 2016 was way better. This game feels watered down compared to those two Doom games. Also, no mulitiplayer, no extra game modes, 70 dollars for a 15 hour campaign when Doom Eternal and Doom 2016 both launched for 50.00 dollars and had way more content + Multiplayer. I can’t really recommend this game at this price, I wouldn’t pay more than 40-50 dollars for this game. Wait for a sale, play on Gamepass if you have it or buy a used copy on Ebay, I hear Xbox is gonna be raising their game prices so Ebay or some other Pre-Owned Market might be the way to go if you want a physical copy.

Download still required regardless of disk.
The disk has nothing in it. The game developers deceived everyone into buying this case with a blank disk because you have to download the whole game regardless. It’s no different than just downloading it from the PlayStation/Xbox store. I returned my copy because what’s the point?
