I think this is a nice level set, featuring an original theme (dark corridors, poisonous water, nice use of architecture at times). There are some problems anyway, like some graphical glitches and the unpassable exit on E1M2. 4/5!

Well, I tried the second map because it's based on some Roman baths at Bath. I have been to Bath. But there was a bit that either had a bug, or was smarter than me; a window with a step that looked as if I should have been able to run through it, but I couldn't and the level ground to a halt.

To the above reviewer: all the maps are playable. Not sure which bit you mean, but there should be some way to make progress.

The crappy prequel to the amazing ALLEYS.wad. These levels are reminiscent of Scott McNutt's maps with terrible hallways and hidden doors. The muzak makes me want to bang my head against one of the thousands of invisible walls in this wad. E1M5 was actually good, though, up until I ran low on ammo, couldn't find any health, and was expected to run though a dark, vine maze with imps. Fuck that '94 shit. 2/5

Anomaly indeed. This is a strange strange wad. The author didn't copy anyone, instead he developed his own very unique style. It's full of things that are almost universally considered bad: invisible walls, unmarked doors, dark mazes, etc, but due to the overall weirdness they actually kind of work... "Kind of". After two maps I got annoyed anyway and only briefly looked at the rest of the wad. Definitely don't download this if you just want to relax.

Blegh. I didn't like these levels. They were pretty ugly.

      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.
