This is actually from 1999, not 2006. It's a map with an idea similar to rim.wad but this time on a larger scale, plus it's a desert instead of the sea. It has a kind of unique mood to it and there is a little bit of neat parkour in the yellow key building but, I don't know, I feel like something is missing, perhaps good action? Also for some reason I can't perform the jump to the switch that opens the blue key: I just keep falling on stairs.

I've seen worse, this isn't much better, but its a bit better. The level is way too bright and there isn't much detail. Textures clash and the gameplay consist of nothing but searching for keys and blasting away an occasional imp. 2/5

Urgh. My goodwill ran out with the other map. This is vintage August 1994; a large, mostly empty and barren base almost uniformly textured in silver. Plays a dreadful version of Barber's Adagio; given the inspiration I think the author meant to put in Khachaturian's Gayane Ballet Suite. Would take months and months of work to be acceptable for a January 2006 map.

Slightly better sequal to Rim - the Colony. Again, the basic idea, design, and atmosphere is great, but the execution is about average. The map is large but nondescript, with the same textures repeated over and over and barren architecture throughout. It ends up looking very basic, even though the facility with the interconnected silos looks interesting. With a little more detail, this could be a great map. ***

I didn't expect much when I began playing this and saw the rather simple architecture, but it's actually very atmospheric, and both the simplicity and the harsh lighting contrasts and stark shadows help with that. Of course, the map is rather easy to finish, without any big battles or the like, but that, too, fits in with the theme, I think. Nice one.

      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.
