for our nineteenth iteration of dwspd, we have to go deeper. it's speedmap-ception! the theme is to complete/tweak a previous speedmap that was already made, and an obvious rule here is it has to be the author's original map (after all, authors MAY NOT use the contents of any dwspd as a base, with the sole exception that it is your own map in this case). only three were made, and I recognized them all. first map is from the compilation that focused on barrels, the map that felt sort of normal, and appropriately it got expanded quite a bit and made to be better. second map came straight from the previous session, the big straightaway section that led to some spiral, what was added was a preshow with lots of former humans to mow down, but the author still failed to make the exit work. MAP03 was based off of the WYSIWYG session, and this time the player starts in a more appropriate position and the map overall felt a whole lot nicer. other than MAP02, the authors did pretty well tweaking their own maps using them as bases, aside from the problems in MAP02.

Good levels but exit in level 2 is not working.

In sum nothing but average. Okay, it's a speedmapping so what does one expect. Level 1 is neat stuff, the second... oh well - buggy and bland and the third okay in parts but too cramped in others. 3/5

Map01 and Map03 quite good, Map02 vomit (speedmapping is not excuse for a map that is subpar even for '94). Worth downloading but SKIP MAP02!!!

Map01 not bad... but ammo not enough I think... Map02 sucks, like a '94/'95 map. Map 03 is good. 3/5 - playerlin

      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.
