Really, really good episode! A sum up of all 3 episode of Doom, visually and in terms of gameplay! A must-in to play!

Okay maps, nothing too bad. Good visuals, but gameplay could be better...

As others mentioned, parts of this WAD look too similar to the UD counterparts. I know that was the goal, but E1M7 for example was not changed enough from E3M6 to be at all creative (although it is still fun). E1M2 is also a dud with boring game play and low detail. That being said, there are some masterpieces in here. E1M1 and E1M8 are fantastic. I also enjoyed parts of E1M5 and E1M6. The two Cyber Demons in E1M5 were well done. Because of these maps, I will give this 4 stars.

Loved this! Successfully captures the feel of the original game, but condensed and distilled into 9 awesome maps with modern gameplay sensibilities.

I agree with the anonymous: maps are impressive in terms of visuals, even though sometimes the "inspiration" from Doom 1 turns into straight copy&paste. The gameplay gets repetitive after a while, and low variety of monsters in Doom 1 doesn't help here. E1M8 needs BFG and lots of cells badly.

Viva La France! Great work here. All maps were well done.

^Talk about a dumb argument. It's pretty clear that anyone who finds this wad repetitive would clearly find the original game to be so as well, so faulting this wad specifically is ludicrous. And it's a very tribute wad at that, aside from E1M2 and 9, which I found a bit mediocre. Good work to those involved. 4.5(5)/5

Impressive work. Having said that, there are two problems. For many levels, variation in gameplay does not match it's length, one keeps on fighting in the same ambiance against the same little set of monsters. This repetition makes playing at the end plain boring. Besides that, this is yet another E123 clone, also with quite a lot of conceptual copy&paste; IOW: there's little new. Despite this, overall solid 4/5.

Except E1M2 and 9, these are all four or five star maps overall, so good job!

Vraiment sympa, j'l'avais déjà fait pour sa bêta mais j'y ai quand même rejoué pour la sortie. J'ai particulièrement apprécié les map de Nils, gj les gars!

      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.
