As sequels go it certainly has more ambition than the original while still keeping its detail-laden aesthetic, but it's plain to see what parts of the mapmaking process received the most effort and the gameplay stays fairly rote throughout. It's not an amazing gameplay experience all told, but it's still fun enough to play and it serves as a neat little snapshot of some of the mapping attitudes and styles of yore.

Don't needed to say, just great, but health just not enough for me, and music of Map01 doesn't fit for me. -playerlin 4/5

Superb, wish the 2nd level had been as large as the first. Also ZDoom is NOT required because it looks and plays great in Risen3d with Sitters and Abbs model replacements. More please.

Most of the gameplay is nice and the architecture is great, but the arbitrary key/switch hunting tedium and stale techbase theme really bring it down. It's a shame to see such effort and talent being put into such an uninteresting concept.

The architecture is superb, the gameplay is really good, but for only 2 levels (both the same theme, at that) and a theme that I feel is very much overdone and tired. While neither length nor personal opinion should never cost a wad points in my opinion, I do feel like non-varying themes should, however, I reluctantly give 5/5, as architecture and gameplay are too really good categories to be skilled at.

Sweet stuff. I love the big, open architecture, and the amount of visual detail to appreciate. Plays well, too! A few areas (e.g. the sector 6109/6112 corridor in MAP01) look very unfinished, though. All in all, great. 4.5/5 - ZZ

I had the joy of playing through this the other day. I really enjoyed the first one and this one is just absolutely excellent as well. 5 from me and a nomination earlier this week.

The design is way overdone, and actually masks redundant and fairly uninspired gameplay. It's linear, and often the monsters are locked into sectors, so it's fairly easy to potshot your way to success. There are places you can get stuck and not go, and this WAD feels like a three-story façade in front of a one-story building. The second level is just a let down. If this is a cacoward then flash triumphs over substance. 3/5 - Nockoot

Yes, gorgeous detail, big level (but you can be lost) but mostly noninspiring rooms, I mean they are detailed but all look the same, nothing that remains in memory. But still I adore the detail. 4/5 - Optimus

Flat, uninteresting gameplay coupled with messy detail. The threat will rarely come from more than one direction and will always come bunched together, making this a very boring map to run through. I stopped caring about halfway through but continued on anyways. I appreciate the effort put into the looks, but there's more to visuals than wall lamps and borders. I do like the TEKWALL 'n light use in certain ares, however. Just needs some refinement and a layout that I can care about.

      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.
