Not the most enjoyable WAD I've played gameplay-wise, but it's worth playing just for the sheer level of detail within the levels. The visual work here is admirable and inspiring. It proves just how impressive the Doom engine can be in the hands of some people.

I've played Lutz's Inferno episode and I thought that was good. And just look at his E1, this wad is simply Stunning.

The detailing is unquestionably awesome, and I found the gameplay to be good enough. 5/5

5 stars, for all the deatiling effort, although I must admit that the actual playthrough was a bit much for me as the levels are, well, hard to navigate, and the also unlike COD, which felt more complete and integrated, this one is a bit showy for my tastes, lets just say that detailing is a bit overkill, that's all. For lovers of beautiful architecture. -TeH NeXuS

This has to be the most detailed wad that I've ever played. But Doom graphics are not the prettiest and therefore making the levels extremely detailed is a waste of time. Is it the most atmospheric? No. 3057hub1 is more atmospheric for example. Does it have superb gameplay? Well I got lost in the first 3 levels and I fell of the train several times because of the extremely narrow routes. That wasn't fun. Anyway I commend the author for such an incredible effort. 4 Stars --- Starburst.

A very good episode 1 replacement, detail is totally uber. If Doom could handle this sort of detail back in 1993, it would be even more t3h p4wn and t3h h4x. Doom's (lack of) monster variety hurts it a bit, but otherwise it's about the best you can get for "classic" Doom E1 gameplay. I found myself staring at the details for too long :-p 5/5

As others have said, the gameplay needs a little tightening in places. The difficulty bounces about like a hyperactive ten year old frog on steroids and the maps are a bit too large. With frequent backtracking being a necessity, they can often outstay their welcome. However the mod excels in terms of attention to detail and atmosphere, with great lighting, beautiful faux 3D floors and tight texture work. Overall a well deserved 4 stars.

E1M5 and E1M6 are some of the best looking maps I have ever seen. 5/5 detail, 4/5 gameplay (the Barons in E1M2 and E1M3 are somewhat annoying when you only have the shotgun to kill them) - Belial

P:AR is a very clever mapset, with gorgeous environments, lots of technical tricks and impressive functionality. You'd be hard-pressed to believe it isn't a ZDoom mod, when playing in ZDoom. Later levels are also quite fun to play, but the train level and before I'd say were more style over substance. SubP:AR, which is a good pun if ever I saw one, is definitely to a lower quality but I would point out that it is kind of fun. Anyway, ignoring SubP:AR - 4* -Phobus

At some points in E1M5, I swear that had to have been Doom 3. Utter genius. 5/5. --Woolie

The level remakes would have played more enjoyably and looked a good degree better had the author made more texture/flat changes and less sector/vector based ones. Many effects look somewhat ugly or flaky and/or make navigation tiresome. Still, it was an experiment and evidently quite an effort in craftsmanship. The Gothic parts at the end actually look mostly better because they don't strive so painfully for realism. [3/5] ~Chain Mail (11/2007)

      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.
