DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part One

If you're desperately looking for more Doom Eternal, The Ancient Gods – Part One will give it to you. As always though, I recommend waiting to see how part two turns out before you plop down the cash on the season pass. If you're a Deluxe owner, you already paid for it! Get on it.

Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods – Part One is an addendum to the base game experience. The story, difficulty, weaponry and level design pick up right where Doom Eternal left off. It’s a pure expression of the Doom Eternal experience, excising progression and offering pure, rollicking gameplay that holds nothing back once it starts.

Even Doom Guy should theoretically be (a bit) less powerful than these celestial beings. All said, if you've slept on The Ancient Gods so far and enjoyed Doom Eternal, do yourself a favor and pick it up. It's a ripping good time despite its blemishes.

DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part One is so much more of the PS4's best first-person shooter. It doesn't do anything dramatically different from the base game, rather letting its phenomenal gameplay loop revel in new environments and against new enemies. Difficulty spikes present more problems than we'd like, though, to the point where casual players might feel like giving up. Nevertheless, bring on Part Two.

The Ancient Gods – Part One isn’t cheap but assuming Part Two is up to the same standard we’d say that the Year Pass is worth it. If you want more of Doom Eternal then this continues the formula very successfully and even adds a few new wrinkles to it. And as much as we don’t like the storytelling we still want to know what happens next.

Si disfrutaste del fabuloso Doom Eternal hace unos meses, creo que no hay mucho que tengas que pensar, esta primera parte de The Ancient Gods te dejará más que satisfecho. En caso de que tal vez para ti, lo nuevo de id Software no sea tan relevante, puede que lo mejor sea que ni te acerques a esta expansión, pues en ningún momento intenta ser algo diferente a la obra que está intentando agrandar.

Tout comme le jeu de base, DOOM Eternal : The Ancient Gods, Part 1 est une virée sanglante et éprouvante sollicitant toute la concentration du joueur. Particulièrement ardue, cette extension sera un morceau de choix pour les vétérans en manque d’action. Si l’on peut regretter un contenu plutôt léger et quelques arènes moins réussies, il est difficile de bouder notre plaisir en parcourant les 3 niveaux composant ce DLC.

DOOM Eternal revient avec son premier DLC, The Ancient Gods. Au cours des trois niveaux de cette nouvelle campagne solo, le challenge sera corsé. La jouabilité FPS est toujours au poil, et sublimée par les nombreux affrontements toujours plus difficiles qui vous seront proposés. Le jeu est toujours aussi rapide et aussi bon.

La prima parte del DLC dedicato a Doom Eternal è davvero convincente e saprà sedurre gli amanti del brand, che si ritroveranno davanti una sfida ancora più ostica e degli interessanti approfondimenti anche per questo riguarda la storia. Il nucleo è rimasto il medesimo della campagna originale, ma alcune variazioni interessanti che troverete negli scenari fanno sì che The Ancient Gods rappresenti una graditissima aggiunta, in attesa della conclusione finale.
