Summary

  • Id Software seems to have placed a lot of focus on the character of the Doom Slayer in Doom Eternal and the subsequent game Doom: The Dark Ages.
  • While the author is a fan of the games, they worry that the fascination with the Slayer’s backstory detracts from the gameplay.
  • The key highlight of the Doom series is the carnage that can be inflicted on ordinary people by the various demons, giving the player a sense of the true scale of the invasion.
  • The game’s antagonist looks cool, with a contrasting style between medieval future tech and biblical looking demons.
  • There is also a sizeable portion of the article dedicated to discussing the gameplay dynamics, and the author suggests investigating further through other articles on the subject.
