About This File

Within this seemingly peaceful complex lies a Computerized Torture Chamber where some alien being is experimenting with human beings,namely your former comrades. Seek out and destroy the inhabitants therein. Recon has reported that the entire local population surrounding this complex has been wiped out. Proceed with haste, but exercise extreme caution. You will be teleported to the tower at the entrance, alone as usual.

The 8th Odessa map starts out pretty interesting, with a series of dickish, Plutonia-esque traps. There's a rather interesting one involving a staircase that's actually a series of lifts that serve to waste your time, only to open up a closet full of Pinkies who gradually close the gap between you and the damaging floor. There is one annoying Bob Evans trick where a door opens behind a fake wall; guess he intended for you to listen closely? There's also an entire optional blue key wing that's found with a double linedef secret, but honestly it's not worth the hassle. It takes just as long to complete as the main level and your only rewards are a BFG9000 and Soulsphere that ultimately go unused since everything's already dead.

A hit and miss for me. The red key "structure" is a must-see. The Annoying Steps(tm) maybe also. OTOH there are many completely bland-looking areas, a dark corridor with demons and spectres, the wooden section w/berserk and more. About 80% of the monsters are demons/spectres and imps.

Another of Bob Evans's Marmite-like (love or hate them) WADs, laden with booby traps and infuriating switch puzzles. Its strength is gameplay; this is not a tourist attraction. Lighting is above par but not fussy. Texturing is competent apart from a dodgy ceiling change but also rather whimsical. I never found the blue key (or visited those areas) and had to use the map cheat to solve the red key puzzle, having failed to pick up an automap.

It was exciting. Every time I'd pick up a weapon or more ammo, a bunch of creatures would come out and I'd use up most of that ammo. The maze is solvable, but difficult.

      Unloved

      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

      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.
