Developed by id Software and published by Bethesda Softworks, Doom: The Dark Ages is a prequel to Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal. This dark fantasy FPS follows the origins of Doom Slayer long before being found in a Sarcophagus in a UAC on Mars. It also helps fill in the holes in the Doom storyline, getting into the history of demons and Sentinels during a medieval war against Hell.

In Mitchell Saltzman's review of Doom: The Dark Ages, he gave it a 9/10, stating it’s “a new flavor of the legendary shooter series that’s heavier and more grounded, but no less energetic and exhilarating.” A new shield brings awesome offensive and defensive options, while you still get tons of Doom’s traditional guns for a fun way to take out the thousands of demons in your path. Plus, that classic heavy metal soundtrack perfectly complements the stellar design in every aspect of this game.
