Pretty 90s-ish, basic looking map sets into a tech / hell fortress of sorts, really large map that i've finished in 30 minutes, but luckily the map uses not really hard monsters to confront, making this pretty easy to finish, but again, is a long, LONG map with the most tedious parts are the mazes and that long backtracking stairs... Pretty meh

 

Also this map crashes on Doom 2 exe (DosBox) when you save the game, so i played it with a limit-removing dos port (doom 2 plus) without any trouble, so if you want to play this you had to use a limit removing port.

This map definitely feels older than it is: decoration is minimal, textures are misaligned, and the layout is mostly an odd (and irritating) combination of awkward open spaces and tight mazes (unfortunately, I hate mazes.) The level gets somewhat more interesting at the end, but not enough to make the entire experience that enjoyable. 2.5/5

^^^ "No an what is; er" This is a hanidcapped fucker. Just say: this level is good or bad. I think it is below average. So, 2/5, but it is not that bad.

Some god ideas here, but also some irritating details and frustrating puzzles. --- 3/5

Way too confusing, not enough ammo or health. Avoid.

This is dated February 2000. It's a techbase with lots of baddies, but the design is rough, and there are too many narrow catwalks over lava/slime. The gameplay is tricky in an irritating way, e.g. the baron of hell / blood maze. The final seequence, set on an ice floe, feels like a separate and slightly superior level, but it's too simple to outweight the rest of it.

      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.
