This *might* not be quite as fine as the first HR. It is still great. Lots of gunslinging and making stuff go BOOM. I never found it *too* hard, but then I always enjoy coming up with new ways to attack a given force. I've never had to take on combined arms forces with whole *squads* of archviles before; that added a whole new dimension to Doom combat. Lovely work, guys.

A long-awaited megaWAD is finally here! The maps are as beatiful as they are deadly. The project itself is a testament to the hard work and dedication of a lot of people - especially Andy Olivera, who deserves a standing ovation for bringing this masterpiece to completion. If you want more of the same type of gameplay that made HR and AV so addicting, look no further. Though this doesn't quite live up to all the hype it is a worthy successor of HR, and right up there with the best. --5/5

A mixed bag, really. Some maps are really awesome, and offer quite unique concepts and fun challenges, while others are just lazily designed filler levels that are only hard simply because of the monster spam. Not a horrible megawad, but definitely could've been better.

OMG this is pure awesomeness! Even better than the first HR. Just as hard though... I don't think I could beat it on any higher difficulty setting than ITYTD, but it's great fun and one hell of a challenge even on the easiest... 5*/5

Another awesome map set, with new music to boot. Also really challenging, and pretty fun to play through (even though there are still a few confusing level layouts). Only play on Ultra-Violence if you're really into challenging gameplay (or you're a masochist). 4/5

This wad is garbage, they play like crap, and look worse. The map design is just plain awful too. 1-5 - Sniper 109

Legendary. Maps all have an impressive gameplay and nice ideas. Music is really, really good. It's better than the original Hell Revealed IMO, and my favorite Megawad ever. Very hard :) 5/5, [WH]-Wilou84

For the first time in 5 years, I was actually scared to play Doom! Great gameplay, very difficult, and full of suspense. A nice change from HR. 5/5 -EarthQuake

Some levels' architecture is simply astounding, making the levels very engaging. If you are skilled enough, you will have memorable moments of survival when you take on insane odds with your weapon. Unfortunately, like in the original, the designers' go overboard and create levels that are too difficult (and mundane) even on the easiest skills by simply placing too many monsters. By placing a zillion enemies the gameplay is affected adversely, especially for later levels (ie. Map 32). - 4 stars.

Who knew an HR map32 could be even harder than the original? I kept hearing about how this is less hard than the original, but the moment I got halfway through the first map I knew it was going to be even harder. This is a damn fine mapset.

The way the gameplay is set up makes everything predictable, repetetive, and extremely mundane extremely quickly. You do the same thing over and over and over again to the point that it's not even fun to begin with. While it is a good visual piece, that has no merit while one is truly (attempting) to play this. It's really a big disappointment since this was supposed to be a successor to HR1, but it turned out to be Nuts 4.

Hell Revealed 2 is a textbook example of what not to do in a hard megawad. It has it's shining moments, but for the most part, it's a tedious slog that was far more concerned about being hard than it ever was about being fun.

Taken from my comment on MtPain27's video.

I remember playing this wad a long time ago. In fact, this was my first PWAD I ever played! Also, I'm a DOOM GOD!!! I only died 10 times in the whole WAD. Map 30, 07, 15, 23, 25, 19, and 31 were my most favorite maps. 32 was the hardest map in the bunch. 5/5 - Killer11223346

What's so difficult&fun anyway if you're given a Megasphere, 300 cells and 50 rockets and all weapons?? Play on HMP for your own sanity. 3 out of 5 stars

The name comes probably from the fact that HR had monster hordes in the most part, and that the texture theme was quite rigid too. Now it's really limited to desert bricks typical to Doom 2. That said, the levels look dull and monotonous, but are helped by some tense action and catchy death metal midi tunes. Sometimes it's just too much overkill with overguns, tho. 4/5. IC

Overall, an outstanding wad. It is extremely difficult, so save often and be prepared to die.

      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.
