I agree, although I give it zero stars. In five minutes of play I had to use IDCLIP three times, because it very easy to get stuck, indeed one part of the map is a sort of guessing game whereby if you choose the wrong path you are shafted. It irritates me that the author had the gumption to include custom sounds, but didn't know how to align the textures of teleport pads. As I look at the sky I am bewitched by its particular shade of grey blue. It haunts me.

A marble map with simple architecture, and some very poor gameplay. The authors have tried to steer the player along a set, complex progression. However, this includes the need to find three well hidden secrets, or you're bound to get trapped. Not only that -- even if you do find these, it is still possible to get trapped in at least 3 places. This of course almost cripples the map completely. Gameplay is otherwise unspectacular -- there's a stupid Mastermind fight, and an okay showdown at the end. --1/5

      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.
