Players have given positive feedback overall to the new Doom: The Dark Ages - Revelations DLC but many have struggled with the new Chain Spear weapon.
The expansion launched recently and holds a Very Positive rating on Steam. Some users called it a full sequel or tribute to the series while praising its retro levels and design.
Game director Hugo Martin had noted the goal to honor Doom history. The DLC continues events before Doom 2016 and uses a Metroidvania structure.
A number of players posted complaints about the Chain Spear on Steam and Reddit. One said they were an hour in and could not wait to get the shield back while others found the controls and many upgrades confusing.
Eurogamer gave the base game a four-star review and described it as a more grounded but brisk experience.
