VESA or PCI Bus needed!

This is dated June 1994. The requirement for a VESA or PCI bus is, I believe, no longer mandatory. The monster count is large, although half of the baddies are in a big clump at the beginning, and you have no shortage of ammo. After that I got stuck; looking at it in Doombuilder, it seems I have to click on a random bit of wall, and there are several ways to get stuck forever, on account of buggy doors and switches. There are occasional flashes of visual invention.

Good: Rather challenging; Some areas look decent. Bad: Too many or too few supplies at points; Most rooms are undetailed; Some graphical errors; Texture choices seem random at times, including doors textured as walls; Some unmarked key doors; Level progression can be vague; Level can be rendered unbeatable at at least one point; Savegame crash with DOOM.EXE. Overall: Challenging level, but ultimately brought down by poor design choices. 1/5 -VV

      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.
