Seems like a good age for doom.
Was this first person shooter chosen randomly by the Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" Button? Hell No! But it was developed by id Software, who debuted the once infamous but now just famous franchise way back in 1993. For those of you who weren't alive way back then, something about those pixelated demons and the sprite-based violence unsettled adults of the time, but we kids sure loved it. It's safe to say that video games have come a long way in the last three decades, so it will be interesting to see if this latest entry can capture the magic of those early years while still delivering something fresh and exciting. Giving the doomguy a shield seems like it will help shake it up, but how far can you bend core game mechanics before they break? Well, Tom and Chris have each invested an hour in Hell and subsequently emerged to tell their tales... let's learn if you should dive in to this pit or just keep on scrolling.
