Doom: The Dark Ages Review: A great work game with a deep story

If you had spent any time on the Internet, you may have seen the memes “I did not expect for what I got.” If I can make one TormentIn the expected column, I will refer to the previous death games – Eternity And restart Soft Soft for the year 2016 of the concession. But for the “What I got” column, there will be an unexpected mix. That earlier death Games will still exist, as in most aspects Dark ages It is very similar to its predecessors. But I will also throw Brothers Bandand Caribbean piratesand pacific rimand And necronomiconAnd a collection of the best romantic books that you can provide.

to Dark agesID restores the story to the first days, until a time before the demons of Mars and Earth are invaded. Doomguy, known as Slayer, is Supersoldier Prostitated by foreigners who designed themselves as the deities of humanity. When these gods and collaborators besieged the legions of hell, the killer gets to do what he does better: tearing and tearing until this is done.

Slayer has an arsenal of weapons to help him. Favorites that are moved to the series, such as the super rifle, appear with their appearance. But in these ancient species of some kind, Slayer has all new weapons to obtain medieval ages on Satan donkeys. In fact, I am really surprised by how much I enjoyed using every weapon in this game. Usually for games that give you a variety of weapons, only one or two deserves use, as there are only many ways that people who are fired financially fired for something else will shoot it.

But each rifle is in Dark ages It is designed with a distinguished purpose and sufficient interest to accomplish the task outside this purpose. The accelerator is recorded breaking the energy shields and with promotions that can paralyze enemies. Impaler works as a semi -automatic pistol for swarmers of fodder but can also be transmitted to a sniper rifle that fires fire along the railway mutations. But although I love every weapon equally, it is the killer shield that makes the fighting very enjoyable.

The use of Slayer Shield is the most fun playing a shooting game because now, instead of shooting, I am I am The bullet. Using the ability to charge the shield, I can shoot via the battlefield that collides with enemies and turns them into paste. When this is the slowdown, I can also use the Bari attack shield, which reflects it again as they came to tremendous damage. Parrying is useful for breaking the enemy shield and protecting yourself, and contrary to Clear mysterious: Campaign 33It does not require an advanced degree in theoretical physics to know timing.

Between the shield, the fight against the killer, and all the weapons, the fighting in Dark ages It feels like entering the micro -flow cases. Every action fit together like a ballet from the massacre. Shoot on the metal shields to weaken it, throw the shield to destroy it, and then, by the time when it returned to my hand, the enemy launched an explosion that I would kill him. Because fighting is more involved than a point and shooting, I can bear the fact that there is not much of the enemy’s diversity or unique president’s confrontations.

Another struggle between “What I was expecting” and “What I got” is the columns is the extent of its strange safety and the similar zen Dark ages He is. The levels are large, full of secrets and holdings that I enjoy looking for. The completion of the level of 100 percent does not seem to be an exercise in the milli, but rather a reward for perseverance and the solution of smart puzzles, especially for a gay person who is not universal.

In addition to tearing and tears, there are other special sections from Dark ages Slayer pilots either do the enemies of the adult Domecha who are fighting robots, or a large dragon with aircraft partitions. These moments were a beauty queen for me. Despite the modernity of the “cold base” of Mika and the dragon, without the diversity of the killer’s weapons, the fighting in these sections is boring – Samehni – Hell. All you do in the mica is walking and punch. All you do with the dragon is flying (weak) and shooting a cannon (also weak). It is definitely great to look at it in Cutscenes, but mechanically, I prefer to return to the floor.

But my favorite part of this entire game is the story. I know this is not something you are supposed to say about death. that it death: The story is unnecessary for all the killing of Satan. But by thinking about the identity of narration, I start laughing and kicking my feet like a shy student, because this killer is a lover!

As in other games, this man cannot be compromised and has no moral ambiguity. If you are a devil, die. If you enable demons, regardless of the extent of “good” or “noble”, you are thinking. It is very elegant in killing things, which extinguishes KINK efficiency.

But more than that, despite the fact that in previous games, Slayer does not speak outside of them from the concerns of Pain, and his face is covered for most of the game, and the way this emotional man climbs a lot. There is a moment in the middle of one of the dragon sections where, before returning back on the Savior Sted, takes a rhythm to put his hand with tenderness on the neck of the creature. But the moment of my favorite bars comes early in the game. He is held in Stasis by his foreign masters because they do not want to spread it and thus draw the attention of hell. He was forced to watch where his human allies are overlooked, and he is overly angry that he is able to break the chains that bind him shortly. You can tolerate their belief that the killer is driven by the desire to overcome hell, but this is only partly true. in Dark agesHe is a lover as much as he is a fighter, and the most important thing a man can do is Rip and nursing.

Dark ages Very good because it highlights the child inside me. His description of other people makes me look like a child trying to explain something that does not look like what you expect death The game is wandering in events without any consideration to form a coherent story. After that, a big mankopos appeared, and I went to his explosion with my shield, then I got off the lightning from the sky and killed a handful of demons. amazing“
