The difficulty isn't too bad, though it's easy to be thrown off by the hordes of enemies littering the mostly boxy, large rooms, especially in MAP01. Personal favorite of the four would have to be MAP02 for the end-of-level setpiece where you ascend a long series of room-encompassing stairs while fending off demons and ends off with a long-range battle with chaingunners. Pretty good maps as the gameplay is fun, the maps are designed well enough to at least be functional, and it's just a good time.

These four levels are very simple - almost crude - but they are well-made and fun to play, with an old-school feel, although they are even less complex than the original Doom2 levels. They feel like good levels from 1995/1996 rather than four maps from 2002. The difficulty level is mild and there aren't any tricky puzzles. I liked the simplicity.

      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.
