Doom: The Dark Ages Preview: Hands-On With a Heavy Metal Album-Turned-Shooter

The next action-packed FPS in the vaunted Doom franchise slows down the pace for a different flavor of gothic carnage.

The reboot of the Doom franchise starting with the titular 2016 title into a fast-paced shooter was a resounding success, and its 2020 sequel Doom Eternal ramped up the speed even more. So it may have come to surprise fans that developer id Software decided to slow things down for the third installment, Doom: The Dark Ages — but after playing several hours of the game, I’ve mostly enjoyed the new direction they’ve taken the gruesome shooter, which admirably reshuffles the ingredients to tickle similar Doom urges with new flavors.

At a preview event in Los Angeles, California, id Software and publisher Bethesda brought journalists and influencers to play an over 3-hour chunk of Doom: The Dark Ages. The substantial playtime included an early slice of the linear campaign, samplings of the mecha and dragon-back combat and a later extended segment in a huge map carved into arenas — enough time to get a feel for the flow of fights and upgrades.

The Dark Ages is a prequel to the 2016 Doom game, which itself had such a thin story that players shouldn’t worry terribly if they’ve forgotten what happened (or never played). The newest game is flung so far in the past that it doesn’t really matter — the Doom Slayer as a character is functionally immortal, so this adventure seems to be opening the games up to flinging him around in time to shake up the setting.

And boy, what a setting. As trailers have shown, The Dark Ages takes place in the kind of medieval fantasy splayed on metal album covers and airbrushed on the sides of vans — demons, dragons and Doom Slayers make for a rollicking mix of blood and thunder. Sure, there are some sci-fi starships and tech to handwave players teleporting between stages and equipping a plethora of firearms, but everyone agrees that it also makes sense to bring a shield with a buzzsaw to a gunfight.

That gun-and-melee alchemy is at the center of The Dark Ages, and it’s clear a ton of tinkering has gone into how players employ their new shield. This time around, players are rooted to the ground — no more dashing around — to transition from the frenetic fights of the recent Doom games into the brutal slugfests of The Dark Ages. Shoot, block, shoot, counter, deathblow — it’s a ballet of brutality.

I found myself missing the air-dashes of the earlier Doom games, and it took time to get used to bringing up my shield instead of keeping constantly on the move. But there are a handful of tools to keep you from hunkering behind the shield (which can only take so many shots before being temporarily disabled) — you can dash and bash with your shield to close distance as well as make special melee attacks (which have a certain amount of uses before needing to recharge).

I had to watch my limited ammo, health and armor on top of tracking enemies, which was a lot to keep track of, and it took practically the whole preview session to feel halfway competent in the combat flow. It’s color-coded: avoid the orange blasts but use your shield to block the green ones to damage or disable enemies; when near death, they’ll glow purple for you to finish them off. Further into the demo, I found more interactions — like enemies wearing armor, which needed to be shot enough to glow red-hot, after which I could throw my shield to shatter it, leaving them vulnerable.

The fantasy setting liberates the franchise from its high-tech veneer, setting aside pulse rifles for a menagerie of inventive, medieval destruction methods: a buzzsaw added to the shield to throw into enemies, a magazine-fed stake thrower, a gun that churns up skulls to spew room-clearing bone fragments and even a gun that fires a heavy ball on a chain like a projectile flail. Upgrades creatively expand the moveset: the plasma-firing gun, for instance, can be shot at an enemy you’ve lodged your shield into to electrify surrounding enemies.

Slaughter from on high: Mech and dragon segments are fun diversions

Amid the carnage of its new shield-and-gun focus, early trailers of Doom: The Dark Ages showed peeks at new gameplay sequences that got fans excited: piloting a colossal mech and riding a cybernetically enhanced dragon. My preview jumped to time with both, and I have a clear favorite. (It’s the mech.)

When I climbed into the Atlan, as the Doom Slayer-looking mech is called, the game zoomed out to accommodate my skyscraper frame. The scale is the fun here. Each prodigious step made the ground quake, and I effortlessly plowed through bridges filled with enemies that would’ve taken a lot of effort to eliminate on foot. I stomped on squads of tanks to get in range of massive demons — which, naturally, I punched the daylights out of.

Atlan combat is a slugfest, with amazing sound selling the colossal crunch of my massive fists colliding with a demon’s face. And yes, there’s a bit of a mechanical flow: pummeling enemies builds up a meter to stomp a directional column or fire energy blasts. While out of range, I engaged a rocket punch to close the distance. It sold me on how these Pacific Rim-esque sequences clashing with Kaiju-size demons will break up the extended gunplay on the ground (and feel metal as heck).

The dragon sequences were, sad to say, not as fun.

I hear you, readers: how can the Doom Slayer clambering on the back of a dragon with neon red holo-wings, jet thrusters and a machine gun be droll? But all that promised speed and excitement of riding an iconic fantasy beast straight off the cover of Heavy Metal gets slowed way, way down for the sections I played.

I dashed through levels at top speed until it was time to take on enemies, which just led to my dragon hovering around while I took out stationary foes shooting at me — which is fine to mix in some bullet hell gameplay, but disappointing compared with the swift and lithe dragon combat I was expecting. I might as well have been shooting out of a stationary helicopter.

There’s some cool toying with scope in the dragon section I played, wherein I systematically took down a demon battleship’s (Hell Carrier, technically) turrets and main gun before diving in to destroy the massive vessel’s central core from the inside. Rinse and repeat for a few more ships, which gave me time to understand and grudgingly adapt to a dodge mechanic in the stationary sections, which felt more punishing than rewarding.

But even after struggling through this section, there was the undeniable bright spot of the game’s commitment to fist-pumping moments — like whittling down an annoying colossal demon until I could activate a finisher, when my dragon flew forward and wrenched its jaws apart to spew jets of flame down its throat. Heavy metal as hell.

The best for last: Siege, an open range of death-dealing

The fourth and final section of the demo was simply called Siege. Whereas the first on-foot section I played followed early Doom games in a fairly linear path with a few offshoots, the siege opened up to a huge map — essentially multiple contained arenas connected by paths and walkways, each of which you could assault in the order you choose, with plenty of secret areas tucked into the sides.

If the first levels were a classroom teaching the rhythms of combat, this was the test: broad swaths of enemies, from foot soldiers to towering Cyberdemons, all hitting you at once. But hey, you’ve trained for this (right?), and in this section, Bethesda gave me plenty of tools to dish out death.

Like in previous Doom games, Dark Ages has a spread of difficulty settings for the gluttons for punishment — and in a big win for accessibility, there are lots of toggles to tweak enemy health, damage taken, lengthening the parry window and more to get the player experience just right. Of the six difficulties, I brazenly chose the third (Ultra-Violence), a hard mode just above normal (Hurt Me Plenty), and muscled through the demo session.

The first area of the siege stopped me short, and try as I might, the Cyberdemon leading that first array of enemies wiped the floor with me. After reluctantly dipping down to the normal difficulty, I eked out a win and pushed forward into the massive map, looking over the surrounding hills and deciding which pack of enemies to take on next.

Tucked into the corners of the maps were caches and secret sections that often awarded gold, which could be spent at Sentinel Shrine statues to upgrade my skills. These are split into multiple trees for melee, shield and guns, the latter of which I felt were most rewarding and brought out the individuality of each gun. Unlike previous Doom games where I mainlined one or two weapons, Dark Ages’ variety of enemies and situations had me fluidly rotating between my arsenal of guns (when I remembered to in the heat of battle, anyway).

The siege section took me about an hour to work through in its entirety, prying into secret areas and systematically clearing out arenas full of different mixes of demons. I wandered across grassy hills between gothic village buildings while, in the background, a friendly Atlan engaged in a prolonged slugging match with a colossal archfiend. It was atmospheric but not distractingly so; the game is tuned to keep the focus on the enemies in front of you.

In the first section of the demo, the grim future-fantasy story unfurls with the captive Doom Slayer, restrained by a mysterious energy bolt on his chest, shot down to a medieval planet as a last resort to save the people of a king. «Before he became a hero, he was the super weapon of gods and kings,» a title card read. It’s soon clear that the Doom Slayer is a pawn in a political game between squabbling humans and demonic nobility. It laid the groundwork for what is, canonically, the first story told about the mythical man who only knows combat against the forces of Hell.

But the last section of the demo, the siege, was the real bones of what players will experience in Doom: The Dark Ages. Bethesda has tinkered and tweaked the Doom formula to force players to shoot to a different beat; from the demo, they’ve succeeded, which is admirable considering how much players enjoyed the fast-paced combat of the earlier games. The gunplay is tight, but so are the animations and deliciously crunchy sound effects, timed perfectly to make the player feel they’re battering apart the meanest baddies Hell can summon.

These days, the games industry seems risk-averse, producing sequels that feel too much like rehashes of whatever came before. Judging by the demo, which was only about four hours of play, the Dark Ages could be the difference, delivering the brutal feel of fighting through a Doom game with entirely new systems, weapons and mechanics as medieval as its theme.

We’ll know if this demo is representative of the whole game when Doom: The Dark Ages comes out on May 13 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.

Connect Your iPhone or Android to Any TV: A Guide for AirPlay, Chromecast and HDMI

When visiting friends and family, you can likely share videos from your phone to your TV without needing to log in to any built-in apps.

When visiting your friends and family this holiday season, you may want to show off your latest photos or stream movies to their television while spending time together. However, it can be a pain to log in to your streaming service account on someone’s television.

Thankfully, with most recent televisions, you probably don’t need to log in at all to do this. In most cases, the phone you carry right now can connect directly to a TV, and you can share or cast your screen using your own accounts saved on your phone.

Many TVs now ship with built-in support for AirPlay, Chromecast or Miracast, all of which let you wirelessly connect your phone. The trickiest part isn’t whether you can connect your phone to your TV (because you probably can). Rather, you’ll need to know which wireless casting connection your phone supports and make sure the TV you want to connect to also supports it.

We’ll talk about how this works, based on whether you’re using an iPhone or an Android phone. We’ll also point out when you’ll be using AirPlay, Chromecast or Miracast to make the connection, depending on what device you have.

iPhone supports AirPlay and Chromecast

Apple’s iPhone devices have two ways of connecting wirelessly to a television. On a system level, an iPhone can use AirPlay to cast media from video and music apps to any device that also supports AirPlay. This originally was exclusive to the Apple TV, but AirPlay now supports many televisions made by Samsung, LG, TCL and Vizio, along with Roku’s streaming devices. Odds are if your device supports the Apple TV app, somewhere in its settings is also support for AirPlay.

You can access AirPlay in one of two ways. If you’re using a supported app like Paramount Plus, you’ll want to tap the AirPlay icon represented by a TV with a triangle. You can also access AirPlay from your phone’s Control Center by tapping the icon represented by two rectangles and then picking the device you’re casting to. Using the latter option, you can also mirror your phone’s screen to your TV to display apps like Instagram or TikTok that don’t include AirPlay from within.

If you are trying to connect with a television with the Google TV operating system or the Google TV Streamer, the iPhone also supports Chromecast. Similar to using AirPlay from a media app, you’ll tap the Chromecast icon represented by a rectangle with three wavy lines. You’ll then tap the device you want to cast to. The biggest difference between how AirPlay and Chromecast work on the iPhone is that you won’t be able to mirror your iPhone’s display over Chromecast.

Certain apps like YouTube will blend these casting options together for convenience. When tapping Google’s Chromecast button, a submenu will let you choose between using AirPlay or Chromecast or linking directly to your TV’s YouTube app using a code.

And if you want to connect your iPhone to your television using an HDMI cable, you can use either a USB-C to HDMI adapter if you have an iPhone 15 or newer or a Lightning-to-HDMI adapter for the iPhone 14 and earlier. That adapter will allow for screen mirroring without using AirPlay.

Android always supports Chromecast, sometimes supports Miracast

Android phones don’t support AirPlay, but they sometimes support two wireless casting options that connect to nearly any television.

First, all Android phones include Chromecast support. So if your TV has Chromecast built-in or has a Google TV streamer attached, you’ll be able to connect your phone by tapping the Cast icon from an app. You can also set up a screen cast shortcut in the quick settings drop-down panel, which will provide an even faster way to quickly cast to your TV. CNET’s Nelson Aguilar has put together a guide for this.

And while it’s not supported on every Android phone, Samsung and Motorola both make Android phones that support Miracast for screen mirroring. These features are labeled as Smart View and Ready For, respectively, and will let you connect your phone to televisions or displays that support a setting that’s often labeled Screen Mirroring. More recent Motorola phones, like the Razr Ultra, are calling this feature Smart Connect. What’s unique about Miracast is that many Windows PCs also support this style of casting, and during my recent trip, that came in handy in order to play some Jackbox Games.

An additional note about these features from Samsung and Motorola is that both support connecting your phone to a television or computer monitor using a USB-C to HDMI cable, should you have one on hand. This could be particularly helpful if you’re trying to do a more data-intensive activity on your phone, such as connecting to a bigger screen in order to use your phone more like a computer.

More tips about wirelessly connecting your phone to a TV

Even though many televisions and streaming devices support one or more of these methods, it’s still entirely possible that when traveling, you won’t have a perfect match. For instance, you might have an Android phone, but the TV in your hotel room supports only AirPlay or blocks access to the HDMI port. But for home use, now that many televisions support multiple connection options, you have a good chance to be able to set up a method that works for day-to-day viewing.

You’ll also want to keep in mind that much like with video streaming, your network could also affect how effective a wireless connection will be to your TV. With that in mind, you will want to have your phone as close to a router as possible, which will help with the connection. If your video quality degrades while streaming, you may also want to turn casting off and on again to reset the connection.

But as long as your phone and television can connect with one of the above methods, you should otherwise be free to stream any movie or music from your phone onto your TV.

From discounted gas to streaming extras, there’s a lot more value packed into your Prime membership than most people realize, and a lot of those discounts can be used beyond Amazon.

You can take advantage of limited-time deals with a 30-day free trial, but that only lets you scratch the surface of all that a membership has to offer. It might surprise you to learn what else you can get by being a Prime member. Below, we’ll break down some of the best perks you may not know about.

Spoiler: Some of them are bangers.

You probably know about Prime Video and Amazon Music Prime but you might not know all the special details. Amazon Prime members have access to a large number of feature-length movies and hit original TV shows like The Boys and The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power, as well as an Amazon Music Prime library featuring 2 million songs and thousands of curated playlists.

Prime members can also download movies and TV shows for watching later offline.

Music lovers can upgrade to Amazon Music Unlimited to get a library of 90 million songs that can be streamed to multiple devices for $9 a month or $89 a year.

2. Get money back by choosing no-rush shipping

If you don’t need your purchase to be delivered quickly, you can opt out of two-day or shorter delivery options by selecting «no-rush shipping» and receive your package in about six days. In return for your patience, Amazon will give you rewards.

There’s no standard for no-rush shipping rewards — they vary from item to item — but they generally provide discounts on products and services that you might buy from Amazon.

Some common rewards are $1 credits for Amazon digital services like movies, music and ebooks, $3 coupons for Amazon’s Happy Belly-branded snacks, $10 to $20 off TV or furniture purchases and $10 to $20 off Amazon Home Services.

The value of no-rush shipping will depend on whether you’ll use any of the rewards. It might not seem like much, but a few no-rush shipping selections could easily earn you the $3 to $4 you need for a free movie rental from Prime Video.

3. Whole Foods grocery discounts

If you’re a frequent shopper at Whole Foods, an Amazon Prime membership can reap serious dividends. Prime Member Deals available in physical Whole Foods stores give members discounts of 10% to 20% on selected items marked with blue Amazon stickers.

Yellow tags indicate even further savings, usually at least another 10% off an already discounted price. Prime members who scan the Whole Foods Market or Amazon app at checkout get an extra 10% off storewide sales. Prime membership also gives you access to special online deals.

4. Exclusive access to Thursday night NFL football games

It’s the second year that Amazon Prime has had exclusive rights to air Thursday Night Football, and Prime seems to be killing the game. It received five Sports Emmys nominations for its 2022 coverage and boasts a stacked cast of experts, commentators and former players.

If you are a Prime subscriber, you can stream 2025-2026 Thursday Night Football games on Prime Video, NFL +, Amazon.com or Twitch. There is also a Spanish-language broadcast available on Prime Video. Pregame coverage begins at 7 p.m. EST each Thursday.

5. Free same-day Amazon Fresh delivery

Whole Foods isn’t the only grocery option available to Amazon Prime members. Subscribers also have access to the online grocery store Amazon Fresh, which provides free deliveries to some locations. Amazon Fresh has some similar products to Whole Foods but generally focuses on a broader range of groceries and home products at lower prices.

Anyone can purchase products from Amazon Fresh but only Prime members get free same-day delivery. Amazon Fresh also has 44 physical locations that offer special weekly deals for Prime members.

6. Free same-day delivery for perishable groceries

Similar to Amazon Fresh, a new service gives Amazon users access to perishable groceries with same-day delivery service. More than 1,000 cities and towns in the US can now get groceries delivered within hours and Amazon plans to expand the service to more than 2,300 locations by the end of 2025.

Same-day delivery is available to all Amazon customers for $12.99 but it’s free for Prime members who order at least $25 worth of groceries (it costs $2.99 if your order is less than $25). If you’re running low on milk and eggs and you don’t have time to make a trip to the grocery store, this is a great way to stock up without leaving the house.

7. Borrow unlimited books, magazines and comics

Amazon Prime members gain access to Prime Reading, a service similar to Kindle Unlimited with a different collection of materials. You can borrow as many books as you like, and many include audible narration, so you can switch back and forth between reading and listening. The electronic downloads don’t require a Kindle or Fire device.

Amazon First Reads gives Prime members access to editors’ selections of early book releases. Anyone with a Prime membership gets one free Kindle book a month, as well as regular discounts on selected titles.

8. Prime-exclusive deals and promos

Amazon offers Prime-exclusive deals all-year round on top products meaning you can make back the cost of your membership in savings. For big shopping seasons like Black Friday or Prime Day, there are even more member-only prices to shop.

Plus, Prime subscribers often get early access to Lightning Deals. These are sort of like Amazon’s version of a fire sale, featuring very low prices for a limited number of products that usually sell out very quickly. The good news for Amazon Prime members is that they get access to these deals earlier than everyone else. The bad news? There are a lot of Amazon Prime members.

9. Exclusive Zappos deals, faster shipping and a test month for running shoes

Amazon acquired the online shoe giant Zappos in 2009, and it now provides a number of benefits for Prime members who link their accounts on Zappos.com. Prime members get faster shipping, bonus reward points for shopping and exclusive deals on certain products.

Zappos also lets Prime members participate in Runlimited, a 30-day guarantee program for running shoes.

10. Save money on prescription drugs online

Prime members have exclusive access to Amazon RxPass. The subscription service provides all of your eligible medications for a single payment of $5 a month, regardless of how many prescriptions you have. More than 50 commonly prescribed medications are available.

Amazon says that the average member with an RxPass saves 38% on medications but it’s important to note that Amazon’s Prime Rx savings program does not work with health insurance. You’ll need to be sure that any savings you get from the program are more than you’d get from insurance coverage.

11. One Medical membership discounts

One Medical is a membership-based health service that provides primary in-person and virtual health care. Its concierge-like medical service is designed to allow members to easily schedule appointments and care using the company’s mobile app or website.

Amazon acquired One Medical in 2023 and is now offering a major discount for Prime members. Instead of the usual price of $199 a year, Amazon Prime members can subscribe for $99 a year, or $9 per month. To activate the discount, Prime members should visit this page. Existing One Medical subscribers who are Prime members can also take advantage of the discount starting with their next payment.

12. Access to Amazon Luna

Amazon Luna delivers access to a library of games that you can play without paying a dime since they’re included with Amazon Prime and Prime Video. There is a rotating library of games that you can claim, including super popular options like the Fallout Series and XCOM2.

Along with single-player games, Amazon has added a GameNight section. These games are all multiplayer games that can be controlled with a smartphone, making it a great way to spend time with friends or family playing games. There are more than 25 options in GameNight include Ticket to Ride, Jackbox and Exploding Kittens.

13. Unlimited photo storage with Amazon Photos

With a subscription to Amazon Prime, you can store unlimited photos and 5GB of video on Amazon Photos. Without Amazon Prime, you’re limited to a total of 5GB of videos and photos total.

You can view or share your photos and videos on Amazon Photos using the iOS or Android app, or on a computer with the desktop or web app. Your photo and video files are fully encrypted, so they’re only visible to people with whom you intentionally share them.

14. Get discounts on Shutterfly

Amazon has partnered with photography company Shutterfly to offer Prime members 45% off most regular-priced products. Shoppers also can get free shipping on orders of $35 or more. To get the discount, you’ll have to link your Shutterfly and Amazon accounts.

If you store your photos with Amazon, you can now access your Amazon Photos directly from Shutterfly. This makes it extra convenient for Prime members to share images from their extensive photo library.

15. Get a free Grubhub Plus membership

Don’t feel like cooking tonight? There’s a perk for that, too.

When Amazon announced it would offer Grubhub Plus free for a year in 2022, it was a solid, but temporary, perk added to Prime. In 2023, Prime members were treated to another free year. For 2024, instead of renewing the food delivery service’s premium membership again for another year, Grubhub Plus became a permanent Amazon Prime perk.

Grubhub Plus typically costs $9.99 a month and provides unlimited free delivery for all orders over $12 in more than 4,000 cities nationwide.

16. Save on Amazon Kids Plus

If you have Amazon Prime, you also get access to discounted Amazon Kids Plus. The subscription service features a range of ad-free content, including books, games and videos for children ages 3 to 12. Parents can limit the amount of screen time available to their children and manage up to four profiles on iOS and Android.

The Amazon Kids Plus subscription is normally $79 a year but Prime members can get it for $48 a year.

17. Get your package on the day you want it with Amazon Day

If none of the usual delivery dates work for you, you have one additional option as a Prime member. Amazon Day is a free perk that lets you schedule your packages to arrive on your day of choice. Next time you’re on vacation, you don’t have to arrange for the neighbors to help you bring in your boxes, and you won’t have to worry about porch pirates stealing your delivery on days when you’re not home.

Amazon Day is also a great option to cut down on the number of boxes for your packages, as you can schedule multiple purchases to arrive as a single delivery.

18. Save money on gas

Do you spend several hours each week driving to and from work? If you’re an Amazon Prime member living in the US, your dollar will now stretch a little farther at the gas pump. You can save 10 cents per gallon at BP, Amoco and AM/PM gas stations — there are about 7,000 locations across the 50 states. Amazon estimates that this perk will save the average American nearly $70 per year.

To get the full 10-cent-per-gallon discount, Prime members must create a free earnify™ account and link it to their Prime account. You can use the earnify™ app to find stations, then simply go to the pump and enter your phone number or linked payment method for instant savings. (Using the earnify™ app is optional — it just needs to be linked to your Prime account.)
