Short, but pretty well done. The best custom Hexen levels I played so far.

I would have given this 5 stars if it weren't for the endlessly respawning enemies. Why was this ever a thing in Hexen? It doesn't make the game harder, it's just really annoying.

An adventure across 6 highly atmospheric, well-designed, & interconnected maps. You'll visit each branch of the hub many times, each time unveiling a large new section to explore. The puzzles/progression are well-designed, and I never once got stuck/lost. Typically soon after receiving an item, you unlock a shortcut to where you need to use it, which is great design. The architecture is detailed and impressive, and is aided by some new textures from Hexen 2 (underrated game by the way). Also it's vanilla-compatible (a bit rare for modern Hexen hubs), which is a boon for users of Chocolate Hexen. Just all around excellent.

Quality Hexen wad. Loved the visuals. Even got lost in it for hours just like in the iwad. 5/5

An excellent set of "classic"-themed hexen maps. Despite the creator's apparent mixed feelings(?), the gameplay, visuals and atmosphere are all very high quality, and it's just fun to play. Some new music and textures has been used (all from Hexen 2, I think?) but used sensibly alongside the vanilla resources. Getting to the portal at the end of MAP01 actually reminded me how exciting it was to find portals when I first played Hexen, as a tiny child. I just wish there was more.

Only two major "flaws". 1: it's "just" one hub. 2: we'll have to wait another year or two till someone creates another piece of new content for Hexen.

New heXen wad??? Now that's rare! And well designed and finishable! Most heXen wads I download are uncompleted. This borrows textures from heXen II as well. 4 stars simply for being for heXen, +1 for being awesome!

Excellent, up there with LilWhiteMouse's Wolfen as one of the best wads for Hexen. 100% must-play if you're a fan of this game.

Good hub, but I found a bug, you can get the blue emerald by jumping on the statues, and finish it very soon.

Excellent, action packed Hexen WAD. The final boss fight can bug out if you kill all bosses with a single blow.

      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.
