This Week in Gaming (Week 20)

Welcome to the 20th week of 2025 and this week’s AAA release is a prequel of what might be one of the most famous PC first person shooter games out there. This is followed by a weird cowboy game, cops and gangs in the 1980s, another minecraft clone, but with more weapons, some old school fighting and finally a bit of limbo, no not the dance, the other kind. There’s also a couple of extra games that look pretty good this week.

DOOM: The Dark Ages / This week’s AAA release / Thursday 15 May

As the super weapon of gods and kings, shred enemies with devastating favorites like the Super Shotgun while also wielding a variety of new bone-chewing weapons, including the versatile Shield Saw. Players will stand and fight on the demon-infested battlefields in the vicious, grounded combat the original DOOM is famous for. Take flight atop the new fierce Mecha Dragon, stand tall in a massive Atlan mech, and beat demons to a pulp with the newly enhanced glory kill system. Only the Slayer has the power to wield these devastating tools of mayhem. Steam link
