Not my favorite type of gameplay, but come on - This set definitely isn't bad by any means.

It's almost like a hybrid of the later parts of Scythe 2 and AV. In a good way, I mean. It is very, very punishingly tough though so beware. Not for the faint hearted at all. Fortunately, there are difficulty settings. The only problem: Map28. Why put such a framerate lagging map right in the middle of things? The earlier levels are slightly less good but that's not important and it's mostly all a blast in coop as well. Map14 has one of the best music tracks for Doom. 5/5

I agree with those who call this the new Alien Vendetta. Speed of Doom would be a worthy successor. I can beat these levels on UV, albeit dying many times. UV is terrifying, the maps look fantastic and it follows the classic progression to hell, with the hell maps presenting a fearful obstacle to experienced players - as it should be. You crap yourself more as you reach them, but when you get there they blow you away in every sense.

^ so, AV hasn't been a slaughter wad? I've learned much from you. Or, should I say, ABOUT you, mr. troll?) Anyway, 5 stars for SoD.

A good megawad. Nice dark acrhitecture. Map 28 was a BFG rape-fest!

Brutal, beautiful and consistent. Maintains marvelous aesthetics and tough but fair gameplay throughout. Often linear but the creative and strategic enemy placement keeps you coming back for more. My only criticism revolves around the final maps opting for a blunt and violent end, something told me I anticipated AV's length. One of the first megawads in a long time which comes very close to reaching AV in quality - 5/5 no doubt. Now to play each lvl from a pistol start :D

Very good for that most part, although MAP28 kileld my framerate whenever I was looking across the central part of the map and the two maps after that felt a bit much at points - sort of like the joke had stopped being funny. Still, very impressed - 5* - Phobus

This is really super. I had a lot of tense calls, and I was in awe of the architecture, variety and creativity - and flow! I lowered the difficulty to HMP after map ten or something, and then I needed to lower it again once the hell maps started, which is a good thing: UV is meant to be hard. Perhaps some moments could have had more edge, but this is a megawad and the quality is out-of-this-world!

      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.
