Doom The Dark Ages is my favorite kind of nightmare — this is how it runs on an RTX 5090 gaming laptop

I got the chance to jump into Doom: The Dark Ages on an RTX 5090 gaming laptop, and let me tell you, it feels good blasting away demons in this high-fidelity, beautiful nightmare.

Doom: The Dark Ages is the latest entry in the Doom reboot franchise. It takes place before Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal, at a time when the Slayer was bound by gods and kings to combat the forces of hell. It’s like if medieval fantasy and Doom had a baby, and I love it (insert sob emoji here).
