Decent map w/ a lot of symmetry - but that's to be expected from a WAD based on a real place.

 

I took it upon myself to look the library up on Google Maps, and you can definitely see what the author was going for architecturally - the library in this map is pretty close visually to the one in real life! It even has the little cube sculpture out front!

 

Doom isn't the best medium to recreate real places, but it does an adequate job here. In terms of gameplay, the map is very easy! One should have no problem beating this map on UV. The most difficult part of this map is its navigation. It is a little bit of a switch-hunt.

 

Monster placement is surprisingly good for a map of this type.

 

Check the map out, and then look it up on Google Maps! You'll definitely see the resemblance! :)

This is just what I want. Real world simulated levels with reasonable enemy placement. Could have used a few extra hell barons near the end though.

Well, it's obviously full of copy-paste, symmetry and flat rectangular rooms but the level is at least somewhat interesting to explore and the central room is cool IMO. Still, nothing special, at least for those who haven't been to that library.

Libraries are helpful; schools are not. 4/5

someone needs to make a new school themed map that doesn’t suck - this map is nice and open and the action is alright at the beginning, but it got a little irritating looking for the keys in the later parts of the map 3/5

Not bad for 1996. Secrets were a bit of a pain, and gameplay is extremely easy, but over good. 3/5 -r_rr

This is dated 1996 and is probably one of the better 'this is my house / place of work' wads that seemed to be popular back then. I don't think it is a 5/5 wad though. 3/5

      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.
