The first level, Hexquake (which was also uploaded separately and reviewed previously by myself), is awesome. Lots of cool puzzles and stuff to do. But after that things go down hill, fast and hard. The next 4 levels are unnecessarily labyrinthine and full of obtuse switch hunts, unfun boss fights, bizarre new graphics, and terrible English. I don't know what the hell happened, maybe the author crashed his car and got brain damage, losing his ability to design a good level. I recommend just downloading the standalone version of Hexquake.

It's hard and confusing on layout but fights not too hard and you have a lot of ammo, plus boring hunting switches and boss fights. Since it's 1996 mod I won't be too surprised... 2/5 -playerlin

Be careful, on map01 you can die by simply pressing on some walls and ZDoom wouldn't let you resurrect (you'll get some weird message about the player being no longer connected to its body). After that happened to me, I immediately lost interest and gave up. The levels are kinda crappy anyway: flat and uninspired, with easy fights and tons of mana and health items. Unintuitive switchhunting is present as well.

      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.
