Large, chaotic level. No leitmotiv, just a bunch of scenes. Mostly simple layout is often confusing, texture use is spare with a lot of misalignments. Ambiance feels quite amateurish. Played @ UV; monster placement is on places too poor. Can be completed with almost half of the map unexplored; btw does have 2 exits. Most secrets are easy. I indeed got stuck in the cross. Overall despite the effort: meh. IHMO author might benefit from using beta testers.

I was pleasantly surprised by this (a single-player wad by Hellbent?!) - it's pretty good, though a little rough around the edge.

Hellbent's first map. Textures are a bit messy, the Cyber/Spider fight was pointless, and ammo is too sparse without secrets. Features some very clever and tricky traps and layouts, surprisingly good for a first effort and worth a look. 4/5

I liked it - COOL - some unkillable monsters and a secret that can't be triggered

Pretty good, nice oldschool style, good use of triggers. Lots of secrets. It's technically possible to get stuck inside the "cross" but that's the only real bug I found.

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
