While you’ll have to wait for the official DualShockers review, we did manage to get someearly hands-on time with the shooterearlier this year, and we mentioned, “Doom: The Dark Ages might have a different look from its predecessors, but it feels like a natural progression that stays true to the roots of the franchise. Doom Eternal was a good game, but it didn’t feel like Doon. With The Dark Ages, grounding the combat and slowing things down is a huge step in the right direction.”
