I will be honest with you: the moment I saw the first pre-launch trailer for Doom: The Dark Ages, after being incredibly hyped for yet another Doom (I’m only human, I can’t help it), I was also a tiny little bit worried. Due to some admittedly poor marketing by Bethesda, the game was being touted as a radical departure from 2016’s Doom and Doom Eternal (also known as WayTooManyGames’ 2020 Game of the Year), with some moments of the trailer even labeling it as “open world”.
