One of the best enhancement mods out there. I've been playing it for a few days, and it drastically improves gameplay. Highly recommended. 5/5

A mixed bag, mostly good. The new weapons graphics are poor, although they generally point in the right place. Not too sure about the minigun, though - primary fire seems too slow, secondary is too fiddly, and it aims low. The pistol is just right, and the mod makes it much more useful. The chainsaw-against-sto ne sound is either brilliant or excruciating depending on your mood. Lots of nice touches, e.g. the water. Oddly weak berzerk punch sound.

This has plenty of potential, although a lot of the sprites and particles are sub par (The Chaingun and Plasma Gun look really, really bad, and the new BFG shot is just plain ugly) and also some of the sound effects are kind of cheesy. If you're looking for a subtle, non-obstructive SFX mod and don't want the massive gameplay changes brought by SergeantMarkIV's Brutal Doom, I'd suggest this.

Shame this isn't being developed anymore, it feels really unfinished and rough. I'm glad I downloaded it, it's by no means a bad mod, but it really needs way more polishing. There are some ugly visual glitches here and there, quality of effects and new spites is uneven. Real shame, more polished mod that improves visuals while keeping original feel and vanilla gameplay could do wonders.

Yeah! This is pretty good -- love the ricochets and ejecting brass. But, I guess I'm an old fashioned guy and just love Doom as she is without the 'slap-on' all over her face. 4/5

If you wanted to make Doom even more awesome with all the pretty fx, why couldn't you at least put black gloves on the player's hands? Xaser did it with zen dynamics! Also the blood looks and splatters hilariously unrealistically. A crappy mspaint spray that looks like the drops are defying the laws of physics and then make a big badass splatting sound on the ground even though they completely dissipate before doing so. That's not "beautiful," that's just plain ugly.

I'm not going to vote it down because it makes doom pretty as a side effect without anything else being good, because being pretty is exactly what this mod sets out to do. So, I can vote this up for the mod's honesty.

Most people don't notice: All he says to do is set smartaim on IF YOU USE AUTOAIM, and turn blood on. That's -it-. You don't need to change anything.

This mod is nice with multiplayer, makes the SSG a lot less overpowered.

The pistols are kinda silly, the minigun is awkward to use, but all in all, it's a decent mod. 4 stars.

All these combo and weapon mods do have decent aspects, almost hidden with crap that is poured over it all. If only we could get one 'proper' author to filter out said crap, maybe we could possibly end up with a combo that could actually be worth the download. Then again, I'm perfectly happy with GZDoom combined with the far and few between decent maps that emerge every once in a while.

Poorly executed and full of annoying cartoon sounds.

An attempt at making things pretty ended up with making it all run at 35 fps (which makes the player look like he has down's syndrome) and things looking hilariously warped just to make the graphics look barely okay at that speed. The sounds have all been heard way too much, the plamsa rifle looks like some cheap crap from the dollar store, and the chaingun just looks pitiful. Why is the muzzleflash an ugly yellow with 1 frame of animation the same throughout all the guns?

This mod slowed map 7 of Titan 2 into a crawl! Other than that some nice effects :)

Damn, if you don't download this then you have no fucking taste. This is one of the best of the mods out there i've seen. The scenery kicks ass. The gameplay kicks ass. The design kicks ass. The weapons fuckin kick so much ass. Even the hardest wads are easy with this kick ass mod.

      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.
