i like the game but it has many problems.
It didnt look good:
Im a BIG fan of 2016 and Eternal but dark ages jist always seemed like a slow game in comparison, the trailers always made me think the game wasnt gonna be thag good.
Removing dash was a mistake. Instead we got sprint:
When your game has sprint,n no stamina and there is no reason to ever not sprint, then just get rid of it and make it baseline. Instead you're just gonna have to be spamming shift any time you walked sideways or backwards. I know there is a setting for auto sprint but again, if you just wanna sprint at all times, why is it even optional? Why create a setting to automate something that you wanna be doing all the time? Just make it baseline.
Titans:
Uninteresting as expected. Entire levels where you have three buttons to press.
Difficulty:
Too easy on the highest difficulty. Sure you can adjust everything but i dont wanna do that? If you have pre set difficulty levels, i expect them to be what they're advertised, i dont wanna tweak my own difficulty until it is enjoyable. The parry window and area are insanely big.
Annoying to play:
If you have extra lives, they're optional, so any time you die when you have some, you have to go through three screens to get back in to the game, they probably want you to be able to save them for bosses but i end up using them right away because otherwise it's too annoying to die and go through those screens. Holding to select instead being able to just click the fucking button also doesnt help..
Big open levels:
Just makes the game worse. Makes exploration worse, and the main objectives become the cliché of go disable those 3 points on 3 different corners of the map.
Repetitive:
I'm only halfway through and already the levels im playing sont feel different than 5 levels ago, i dont think i've seen any new enemies added since like level 5 or something, still playing mostly with the same weapons, i got the new mods for the weapons but for the most part they dont feel that different from the base version, they just feel like the make the base version irrelevant. So yeah im using super shotgun instead of the normal one and things like that, but nothing feels really different.
More annyoing:
If you want to 100% the levels you better be checking your map every 5 seconds because unlike previous games where you would know when you reached the end of the level and could teleport to other parts of the level to get what you were missing. In dark ages you dont know when the level is gonna end, you cant teleport, and even before the end, there are plenty of areas that you cant go back to after you passed a certain point.
Price:
we want everyone to be able to play our game except if you're poor. If you're blind and have no arms, we got you covered with acessibility settings. Just dont be poor, especially not in other countries, then we dont care about you.
There is probably more i cant remember right now, i just woke up and wrote this still in bed. It's still a solid fps. If this was made by eome AA dev, i'd praise it as a great game all things considered. But as a doom game by id, after 2016 and eternal, it's pretty disappointing.
