As a pioneer of the first-person shooter genre, Doom laid the foundation for its contemporaries but has also never rested on its laurels. Doom 3 steered the franchise toward survival horror. The 2016 reboot dared to revisit and refine the old-school formula in an era of Call of Duty-likes. Doom Eternal, for better or worse, implemented parkour-esque platforming. Doom: The Dark Ages offers perhaps the biggest and most impressive shake-up of the series’ tried and true formula.

Doom: The Dark Ages doesn’t launch until May 15, but the review embargo lifted today. I’ve had a busy week writing Death Stranding 2 previews and spent a few days in Montreal this week visiting Rogue Factor to check out Hell is Us (keep an eye out for our impending preview), so I’m still shield-bashing my way through hordes of demons. Although I still have a good way to go in Doom: The Dark Ages, I can confidently say, as of now, this medieval shake-up is one hell of a good time.
