were not great. some maps [like "project dark fox" hwoever that is] where awful when put up those like vader and xaser. i think the fan on 2-5 is broken, and everything on episode 3 looks like a torm667 map. not even vader could saved this. im very sorry.

That was horrible, the detail was extremely inconsistent, the gameplay consisted of forced nonlinearity by substituting switchhunts as legitimate gameplay elements, and the final boss was a frustrating twat.

Awesome WAD! Great atmosphere, gameplay and use of zdoom features. The hellish levels set my teeth on the edge. This is precisely what I look for in a doom game. 5*

Rocket Zombies do NOT need to exist. A very cheapshotting monster that serves to either kill itself very quickly or utterly annoy the player. I stopped playing when I saw one. I can't really rate this, not having played in through, but what I did see wasn't that impressive anyway. 3/5

Words are'nt enough to describe how amazing this wad is. Absolutely outstanding pack, including maps with varied themes. The maps are all solid and great, and yeah. I can't really describe this wad's awesomeness, so I'll just give it an absolute 5/5. Epic stuff right there. -Moti

"oh noes, a wad with lots of ZDoom features, beastiary monsters (which are there to be used btw) & jumping/crouching... SACRILEGE!!!11" - if you don't like that sort of thing, then don't play it. I was rather impressed by this wad...some of the maps did seem generic, but there's plenty of cool stuff here. Gameplay was decent too, new monsters used well and some tough set-pieces. This is the sort of thing ZDoom was made for…lots of cool features but still Doom at it’s core.

Yeah, that's really cool how all the people that helped make this project were the first ones to rate it 5 stars each. Nevertheless, I am not one to try to "balance" the ratings out like other people, but I do think that was uncalled for and that these levels left a lot to be desired. It's one thing to map in a theme, but it's also another to make them all seemingly the same!

"the rest of them seem to be Torm-wannabe maps" odd, i failed to see how Terror Cube and Spirit Underworld were Torm Wannabe maps, the rest i agree with for the most part though

GZDoom + ZPack + Brutal Doom = Best wad of all time... I'm not just saying that. 5/5, without question. Thanks for not adding new weapons. I like to mix my wads with brutal Doom :)

We all can agree that Vader's maps are crème de la crème of DOOM editing. But I was far more impressed by Zippy's, Phobus' and Xaser's work. Why? They were innovative and that alone makes this megawad stand out. Other maps were very good just not as memorable. And for all those who believe this project sucks (appart from map "x" or maps by "y") - make your own project and prove YOU can do better. 5/5

I actually like most of the maps. There are a few not-so-good ones, but even those aren't truly horrible. I gave it 5 stars.

Loving the last two levels of Episode 1. Especially the music used on E1M9! Really set the mood. Haven't had a Doom (in this case Zdoom) wad do that for a good while now :)

Some of the maps aren't all that great, but some are really good IMO. I think that E1M3,7,8,E2M3,6,7,E3 M7,8,0, and perhaps also the boss maps (M9) in some episodes, at least episode 1, are too good to miss. Other maps (E1M2,4,E2M1,5,0 (interesting "funny" level), and perhaps E3M3,4) are certainly worth your time. The other maps are really pretty average (some perhaps even worse), but I'm glad I played this pack and can recommend it overall. 3.5+(4)/5

This is a solid pack. There are some interesting levels here filled with detail, custom monsters and other ZDoom features. I found some maps a bit tedius and difficult, even on skill 2 though. Also the quality of the gameplay changes from amazing to 1994 styled, which will annoy some players. Overall, great pack. Could have used some new weapons though. 5/5

A bit hestitantly, I'm giving this 5 stars. There are a lot of average/even weak maps but some make this a must download IMO. Even disregarding Thunderpeak since that was released separately, I'd consider it to be near-criminal to miss out on Vader's other big map (Blackrock), Zippy's Terror Cube, or Xaser's Sector. Those three maps alone warrant the entire download IMO. I also feel all of Tormentor's maps here (E1M3,7; E2M3,7,9) were very good, and so was skillsaw's E3M8.

Monster resource pack abuse, didn't feel like Doom at times. And Flyboy is just stupid.

      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.
    • By MrSkeltal · Posted
      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.
