DOOM: The Dark Ages
Probably justifiably copped flak because 2016 and Eternal were so strong… Combat feels looser, less refined, and the focus on the shield seemed to me to just slow things down and funnel one type of gameplay. Mech/dragon bits drag, story’s forgettable. Music’s also a step down, given the unfortunate (lack of) Mick Gordon situation. Still fun though.
