Doom: The Dark Ages’ Big DLC Expansion Is A Fun But Flawed Finale For This Era Of The Series

id Software has released Revelations, a major DLC for Doom: The Dark Ages, adding new spear-and-shield combat, more cutscenes, and larger monster-filled levels.

The reviewer says the opening and ending are weighed down by story and upgrade systems, but the middle section shines once the action takes over.

Its biggest strengths are the demon-slaying battles and strong pacing in combat-heavy stretches, even if the lore is more prominent than before.

As an expansion that helps close out Doom: The Dark Ages, it also lands as a notable endpoint for this era of id Software amid broader studio changes.
