Doom: The Dark Ages has not had the best Steam launch, at least when you compare it to the other modern Doom games.

If internet videos with titles like "Supersonic Golf Ball to the Forehead" have taught us anything, it's that a slow motion chthonic mace to the dome is a weighty chthonic mace to the dome. So goes the thinking being Doom: The Dark Ages liberal dolloping of slow motion effects all over its melee attacks and parries.

Id Software and Bethesda Softworks' 'Doom' prequel is packed with aura and hype moments that'll make you go 'hell yeah' from start to finish.
