It's hard to describe these 4 maps. They are strange and psychedelic. I'm going to listen those midis over and over again. Also, there are some curious paintings on the house finale.

Not bad for the period; the "floating in space" level must have been novel at the time although the background doesn't tile and so it looks odd. Generally the levels are open-plan and seem very crude today, with a lot of fiddly fiddling about, especially in the first level. Has some familiar-sounding sounds.

Yes, some of the sounds are familiar because a lot of later wads used Reganess's resources. He was the source.

It's worth playing just to have the music put you into a trance. I would say the maps were average for the time, but I'll throw in an extra star for them being strange. 4/5

Note to Milian: The red key in the first map is not a bug at all - the key can indeed be reached, as there is another way to open one of those red key doors, and the map is fully playable. Reganess's maps are full of tricky little things like this, and one should not be so hasty in deeming them to be buggy.

From today's point of view, the maps are too easy and looking too plain. Also, the maps are very unlinear and sometimes confusing and have some strange features, like unrecognizable teleports. The first map even has a bad bug: the room that contains the red key can only be entered with... a red key! On the other hand, given that it's a wad from 1995, the author has put some work into creating interesting new textures and adding nice sounds. 1.5/5 -Milian

      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.
