Assassin’s Creed Has a Lesson or Two to Learn from Doom: The Dark Ages

It’s intriguing to note that the new installment of the Assassin’s Creed storyline arrived close to the anticipated release of Doom: The Dark Ages, both being popular series with a long history and recent revamps. However, a comparison between Shadows and Dark Ages shows they couldn’t be more dissimilar, not just in gameplay, narrative, and tone, but also in their underlying design philosophies. Doom: The Dark Ages emphasizes daring innovation within its genre, opting for novel approaches rather than rehashing familiar elements, while Assassin’s Creed Shadows seems like another incremental update on the Origins blueprint. Despite the contrast between these two games and their franchises, there’s much that Doom: The Dark Ages could potentially teach Ubisoft’s signature stealth-action series.
