Nice enough for a first effort, I guess, but I'm still surprised by this rating. Detailing is uniformly great, gameplay is mostly fun if a bit on the easy side... problem is that, those times when it is hard, that is often a result of cheap design, like traps full of sergeants and chaingunners (you'll have a taste of this as soon as map 2) or just overwhelming numbers of chaingunners per map.

Polished and good-looking episode, with some pleasant Ultimate Doom touches and challenging but (mostly) not frustrating classic gameplay. One big issue, and prime reason for that "mostly", is author's apparent love of hitscan enemies, or more precisely hated chaingunners that seem to present on every step, and sometimes and in very dubious roles: as snipers, or as parts of traps.

Great visuals and level design, gameplay is mostly good but sometimes overreliant on hitscanner cheapness which often results in frustration.

Some copypasta here and there, but nothing that would affect the WAD negatively. Legendary.

Really detailled and enjoyable levels. I felt a bit reminded of "Simplicity" regarding some designs, in both good (lots of details and interesting architecture) and bad ways (copy-paste here and there). What I liked most is the merge of some kinda Doom 1-feeling (episode structure and music) with the features of Doom II. Also gameplay progress is quite good - expect to get more powerful weapons rather late. Makes me wonder about the remaining episodes. Hope there will be more!

Played @ UV. Efford: 4/5. Architecture: overall 4/5, although sometimes a bit too repetitive. Ambience: nice. Monster placement: overall quite well, but sometimes also a bit repetitive. Gameplay: 4/5. Overall: solid 4/5 with some attention points (f.e. levels 6 & 7 contain quite a lot of unaligned textures - see STONE4). Wel done, absolutely worth a play.

      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.
