The title says it all, "Maps by my 6 year old son" is an easy, fun, basic romp with BFGs, clusters of big enemies and no need to kill any of them. The 5 maps made by a 6 year old are easy and basic, but playable. There is a working lift, a crusher ceiling, working doors with door tracks, keys, transporters and exit tiles. Its several of the building blocks that should make up every Doom level.

 

For the most part, the geometry is square and flat, with no pillars, stairs or detailed textures. While the simplicity alone might be bad, there are more complex "typical" levels that are less fun and more frustrating. This pack of 5 levels is short and sweet at a mere 5 - 10 minutes but worth it just to see the simplest things stand out. Suddenly having a lift to a blue key is a monument.

 

Its almost a level of 1994 fan creation, but without the frustration or cluster phobic hallways. Everything is broad and easy to dodge. Whether it was made by a child or not, its just unconventional because its so below the bar of a typical level and that adds to the novelty and charm.

Not much to say here. All maps can be cleared without even firing a bullet. Since these were made by a 6 year old, I won't too harsh.

Having played this, I think they are remarkable for a 6 year old. Kudos to you little one. You've made us proud!

It has that nifty 1994 shovelware vibe. First time I've seen a horde of cyberdemons too. But last map crashes at load time, so only 4/5.

I've seen much, much worse. Still, you should probably leave map-making to professionals, preferably those who have reached puberty and have some degree of computer expertise.

the first map is hard stuff (w/o bfg9k use), but cool. Like the trap, I was like, "Should I skip this?". Good for starters. ~2/5

I am giving this wad 5 stars because for starters,it was made by a 6 year old.That alone shows that the young man is intelligent.The maps are okay,but as he gets older,of course he'll get better.While I'm not a mapper myself,I have played enough wads to know what's good an what's not.Keep up the good work young man.Also,the best of luck to you.You deserve it!

At face values, these maps are pretty poor with the quality decreasing as you proceed. The maps are pretty flat and ugly but the gameplay is pretty nice. This is a real achievement for someone so young. 3 stars

Well I give it a 4-star as a constructive criticism, since it is astonishing how a 6-year old can make better maps than anyone who released wads like WOW or the Gamarra series, just to mention any. The remaining one star is the goal to fulfil in your future works, Dylan! :)

Considering this was made by a 6 year old kid, this is actually pretty damn good. I was especially fond of the surprise baron and cyberdemon at the start of map 3. As a fellow mapper, I think you're gonna do great out there kiddo.

I'm not sure why you uploaded this. All the maps are obviously awful; yes a 6 year old made them, but that doesn't excuse the matter of fact.

it's unplayable, and it's just boxes without ideas he should learn about the builder before making maps

This WAD is not good - obviously - but idc how old the author is. Nonetheless, still one star because if you can already map at 6 then you're gonna do great ;)

      Unloved
      By D3rpyD00dlez · Posted
      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.

      The Darkening Episode 2
      By LouigiVerona · Posted
      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.
