If you haven’t heard, Steam is having a Black Friday sale for the first time ever. Yep, despite hosting nonstop sale events all year along, this is the first one formally branded around post-Thanksgiving consumerism.
It’s not one of Steam’s “big” sales of the year—the kind that takes over the entire store page and gives away stickers—but it does have one standout deal that you should really consider for the FPS enjoyer in your life. Doom: The Dark Ages is on sale at 50% off, marked down to $34.99.
If you were a big fan of the swings id took with Eternal, you might not glom onto The Dark Ages’ deliberately slower combat. Months later, I do understand it better now that I’ve played through the original Doom for the first time on Steam Deck—The Dark Ages’ flat maps and weapon simplicity could be viewed as a throwback, though even so, the aggressiveness of OG Doom’s tight quarters and demon density provide the deeper thrills.
This is all to say that The Dark Ages is a much easier recommendation to FPS fans of all tastes at $35. It’s a meaty, 22-level campaign stuffed with memorable guns and more cutscenes than you’d probably expect from id. And if you’re one of many who lost access to The Dark Ages when Game Pass skyrocketed in price and drove a bunch of people to cancel, here’s your shot at an also-inherently-fleeting digital copy.
