Slayer returned to Doom: The Dark Ages, ready to take the strength of hell again, this time with a medieval reversal. The third item in the ID Software Trilogy is another fantastic shooter, but one of the problems with such a recognized developmental pedigree is that your new projects are likely to be compared with the previous successful efforts.

Doom: The Dark Ages – every secret and collector in the abyss
Abyssal Fores in Doom: The Dark Ages contains some complicated puzzles, we will help you work through them.
The dark ages have big shoes to be fulfilled because its immediate predecessor, Doom Eternal, was considered a success in the design of the first person shooting. He stood on an excellent foundation, which was founded in Doom (2016), raking in nominations for the award on the left and right. How will the dark ages accumulate? Let's find out.
Gaming
Winner: Doom Eternal
The response of the eternal from the perspective of the game has always been quite a task and eventually the dark ages fall only briefly. Eternal is filled to the brim of the mechanics, brings back the iconic system of killing fame (unfortunately missing in a dark age) and gives the players countless movement options (jumps, dashes and hooks). The enemy variety is also larger, which leads to a larger martial quarantine.
Doom: The Dark Ages is no metric, but ID has definitely taken a series with this item in another direction. Melee Combat is a significant focus and asks players to approach and personally with demons and discourage their strikes. Although it turned out to be a welcome surprise, the Atlan and Flying sections were stunning, they simply asked you to avoid enemy attacks before we return with small meaningful variations.
Arms
Winner: Doom Eternal
It's hard to say no disunity laser sword. At the top of the firearms that you would expect in the Doom game, Eternal gives you access to an extremely strong cup that is able to find a friend with the only hit. You will also receive a flamethrough useful for pieces of armor and more types of grenades with which you can experiment.

The dark age has a great arsenal of weapons, but the best new additions are in the Melee category. Rylverizer is a unique idea, shooting fragments of skull in large areas, but is incredibly situational and overcome Ravager. Having a grenade and a missile launcher feel a little redundant and turn BFG into a crossbow, even if it is no doubt, it turns out to be less effective than the original.
Graphic arts
Winner: Doom: The Dark Ages
As you could expect, the latest version looks best. The Dark Ages is demonic beauty, sports high resolution and impressive work with texture, all while running a solid image frequency. It is also the debut of the New ID Tech 8 engine, which allows developers to further bend their technical fitness.
However, there is a significant difference between the two games. Eternal is much more colorful and sometimes leans into almost cartoon aesthetics. You may find that you prefer this aesthetics, because the dark ages can sometimes be too dark, suitably for your own good.
Story
Winner: Doom: The Dark Ages
Your eyes don't cover you; There is a story in Doom. Despite what John Carmack may have previously mentioned, a satisfactory narrative in the modern AAA industry is quite important. The dark age is the main step from the eternal, with well -choreographic letters cutscenas clearly communicates the betting of each level.
This does not mean that Eternal lacks any content of the story at all, but rather that it focuses primarily on gameplay. It is possible to go through the whole campaign without devoting a lot of mind for what is happening on the land, very rarely has taken control from you to introduce an enemy like Marauder. You can even prefer this style of narration, because tradition is present if you are looking for it, but otherwise it is from the way.
Music
Winner: Doom Eternal
It was never easy to replace Mick Gordon. The soundtracks for the previous two items of the series were an integral part of the identity of the new trilogy and the loss of this creative voice is still worrying. Eternal music was excellent, which caused many players to start the volume to a dangerous level.

The dark ages were composed by a finishing movement, whose previous credits include the Callisto and Borderlands 3 protocol. Yet there are some great songs that are worth swinging your head while cutting through hell.
Statement
Winner: Doom Eternal
In this match head-head will be released by Doom Eternal at the top. Improvements that have already made an excellent Doom (2016) at the top of the FPS genre and a game that will surely stand up to the time test.
Despite the lack of eternal, the fact that the ID decided to go in a different direction with the dark age. It shows that developers are willing to experiment with Doom IP, even after they have found a winning formula. This should stimulate innovations in space, which should lead to more unique shooters.
