Doom - The Dark Ages (2025)

Loved Doom 2016. Doom Eternal was a bit too much for me and my old brain/reflexes.
This looks great but hope it dials back on the Eternal side of things.
 
Platforming was OK in DE but it certainly ramped it up a gear compared to 2016 Doom. I remember one little bit in the original and I was running round like a headless chicken trying not to die - it was brilliant. Then DE, some brutal grinding - particularly one of those special missions where you had to do a number of waves - another great gaming moment. And they were so well optimised, can't wait.
 
I kind of got bored of Eternal, felt a bit too "whoah hey look at me" vs Doom of old. I liekd the tech, the fact that a 3080 Ti could max our the settings with RT and stil get well over 100fps is something good-sinister.

SO I fully look forward to Dark Ages, though as Alex points out, the gameplay shown so far shows heavy use of screenspace effects, not full RT, so hopefully the final game uses proper RT.
