Your typical 1994 WAD with sloppy nonsensical design from start to finish. Just on the first room there is no easy indication that you can leave the room by pushing on some random part of a wall to lower a large lift, even though no texture looks any different from one another. None of the keys are required to finish the map, instead you just need to go near to some strange looking wall, cross one specific line, and the level exit is revealed.

 

If you want to go out and find every monster and secret, well there isn't much to see other than weird and confusing design. One secret is unobtainable as it gets deleted from the map since its tagged with a switch that raises it and changes its texture, so only 4/5 secrets are possible to get. As it is, this WAD isn't something you want to check out.

An awful display of bad design throughout, with absolutely no redeeming features. Fun for those who like to guess what random line to cross, or wall to push, to proceed. Playing this map means taking a tour through just about every single texture in the Doom game, that's how consistent the design is. You can trap yourself if you don't grab the red key at the start. 4/5 secrets is max due to a design bug. An amateurish mess. --0/5

      Unloved

      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.

      The Darkening Episode 2
      By LouigiVerona · Posted
      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

      The Revenant Problem

      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.
