The Mech and Dragon levels in Doom: The Dark Ages feel like missed opportunities

Doom: The Dark Ages is an excellent first-person shooter, offering a 20-hour campaign filled with demons for you to rip and tear through, with a more medieval arsenal, available as part of Xbox Game Pass. In addition to a shield saw, flail, and mace, new weapons in the Doom Slayers' arsenal are the mech and dragon. Sprinkled throughout the campaign, you will do missions that include sections based on these new gameplay mechanics. Unfortunately for Doom: The Dark Ages, those sections are low points for the campaign, due to limited gameplay mechanics and a misuse of the shield parrying mechanic present in the rest of the campaign. Doom: The Dark Ages has also had some real-life controversies, with fans canceling physical pre-orders due to the disc not actually containing the game.
