## Key points

- Revelations adds mobility and combat options to Doom: The Dark Ages.
- Its Chain Spear and air dashes reduce reliance on blocking.
- PC Gamer recommends the 10–12-hour expansion.

## Summary

PC Gamer argues that Revelations, the new expansion for Doom: The Dark Ages, substantially improves a game whose shield-focused combat it considered too restrictive. The writer says the expansion restores the speed, mobility and player choice associated with the earlier modern Doom games, making The Dark Ages feel more successful overall.

The 10–12-hour expansion sends the Slayer through Hell and Purgatory and introduces the Chain Spear, which can pull him towards enemies or scenery and enables more agile movement. It also restores air dashes, adds a “perfect dodge” mechanic and allows players eventually to switch between spear and shield; the writer says this creates a more varied combat loop while retaining some defensive elements.
