......when the author never did some checks before releasing any of his shit, and this is the perfect example why this is BAD.

 

1. The txt files say it's for DooM 2 but no, the map is E1M1 and use D_E1M6 music, so you have to load this map with DooM or Ultimate DooM.

2. The package is mess, looks like just put a lot of wall/flat textures from other WAD into this WAD without clearing or checking(Texture1 contains some non-exist texture infos too), and the MAPINFO defined "stsky5" for E1M1's sky texture but it's NOT exist in the WAD, so you got the "box texture of default ZDooM for missing texture" on the sky...

 

Please, map authors, even you're newbie, check your shit before release!

 

EDIT : After a little of research, it seems needed to load with SkullTag's data for some textures(stsky5 is ST's one), so it can be fixed if load this WAD with skulltag_data_126.pk3 or Skulltag_content2.1a.pk3... and I guess the author made this WAD with Skulltag tested...I guess. But, no, it doesn't changed anything for me, the author just leave users clueless with misleading txt file...

(And sadly, it means you can't play this WAD with latest GZDooM 3.x release, as it'll fatal error out with script error on skulltag_data_126 or Skulltag_content2.1a...well, now I can say this is ST/Zand only wad.)

 

The map itself playable, too many ammo laying around and randomly placed seems, make UV still so easy. Maybe needed more enemies or reduced some of them would be better, and other thing else in the WAD just so-so, since the sky texture just missing, the scrolling sky texture feature in ZDooM just useless.

 

I would give this 2/5 but due to the errors in the WAD I decide just minus 1.

Nice textures most of the time. Why is my sky a grid? Gameplay is ok.

1. The map number is E1M1, meaning this is for Doom 1: probably some mixup. 2. The layout is a fairly linear affair, something even the new textures can't fix. 3. Gameplay isn't the greatest, with mostly low-tier monsters spread throughout the map. I'd recommend making a few more maps and possibly running them past some betatesters. 2 stars. - Obsidian

Ho-hum, another broken wad by Matthew that doesn't work in vanilla engine. In this case it crashes immediately with "R_InitTextures: Missing patch in texture AASHITTY@". TEST YOUR SHIT AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE UPLOADING, FOOL! Or if you can't be bothered, then just upload to the Ports directory.

Too straight forward, too basic. I discourage playing this.

Pretty flat, inoffensive level that reminds me of the very first map I ever made. The sky isn't rendering for me in any port, though, so I've settled on Zdoom's scrolling-checkered madness. Meh. -Snakes

      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.
