Great architecture and lighting at times it can be rather difficult especially towards the end with the battle with the archvile who teleports all over the place. But overall great level and the music is awesome too.

Nice adventure map. Good layout and lots of detailing make a great ambiance. Gameplay @ UV starts clever and very good, but sadly turns into a way too many snipers / PEs / AVs / sudden monster popup feast, making gameplay less and less attractive to the state of plain boring. Despite this, solid 4*.

Kristian Aro is the master at creating Hell-themed levels, and this is no exception. The quality of Hollow Minds is up there with Death Tormention 3 - one of my favorite packs ever released (which also contains work by Kristian Aro). This level starts out simplistic, but quickly becomes a visual feast, with eye candy every-which direction. The game play consists of quite a few ambushes, which may or may not appeal to all. There are possibly too many secrets with ammo, but that isn't a big deal.

Kristian at his finest, definitely play this if you like ruinbros/wos/etc. And be sure to find the RL before you pick up the first key or else you will be fried! Very nice music btw, it created very special atmosphere for me.

Great map, very challenging. Make sure you find a rocket launcher though!

Another great map by Kristian Aro! In opposite to "Brotherhood of Ruin", this one makes use of regular Doom textures only, but it's impressive nontheless. Lots of nice details and careful lighting effects create a nice gothic atmosphere. Gameplay is challenging but not too hard, because you're provided with enough ammo. And if you find all 15 secrets, you should reach the exit savely. 4.5/5 -Milian

Can't say I enjoyed it, and for someone who has been making levels with ten years(!) this is poor. It looks nice, with a clean design, but it's totally linear and formulaic, and it bogs down with mid-to-tough monsters in tight corridors. The gameplay devolves into duck / shoot / retreat a little bit / repeat, rather than the kind of flowing gunfight that Doom is best at.

This is dated November 2004. It's a modern-style, large-scale medieval techbase level, although the design isn't overly flashy. You fight 422 baddies. The fights are generally easy, with a few nasty traps, although one early battle is very unfair unless you've already found a couple of crucial secrets. But the rest of it is good fun. It has loads of action and feels very meaty and satisfying, like a big meaty pizza, and it's not stingy on the ammo.

Very nice wad. Interesting even for a "non-doomer" like me...very difficult but I like intensive close quarter battles so its ok.

If it's from the maker of ruinbros.wad, you know you're in for something great. 5 stars for a guy who always delivers.

Well done, Kristian! This level is a stunning example of what can be done with good ol' Doom II! High fun factor, plenty of action, awesome looks. Yes, my precious... we likes it! -Chris

Good visuals, Not so good gameplay. Big enemies on small tight places so very hard. 3/5.

      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.
