Fantastic work, music and all and literally MY personal favorite wad of all time. Forget all the Jurkoffs at the bottom with the negative reviews they have no real taste in wads honestly speaking. Play this wad from start to finish you will have no regrets. 5 Stars.

This wad is pretty lame for something made in 4 years, a lot more revisions and ideas could be made in here.

This deserves between 3 and 4 stars. The detailing is a bit sprase, but the gameplay is honest a lot of fun. Not too hard, not too east, fun "blast through" maps, right up my alley. This would be a 5 if all the maps looks as good as the later ones (Map20 is quite nice, for example). Good work!

People are unjustly judging this WAD by the initial maps. It pick ups after a while. Maps get better design and better gameplay. Considering this, it's still a mix of strange gimmicks, mediocre maps and few good maps. Most of the music tracks, while reminding of Amiga tunes, are too scratchy and annoying. There are some pearls in this WAD, so it's definitely playable and beatable if you're ready to either skip or suffer through the fishnet of weirdness.

Slightly above typical Joe Ilya release quality-wise. 1995-grade aesthetics, 1995-grade playability, some shoehorned Zdoomisms that sadly improve neither.

There are far worse .wads than this one. That doesn't make this one suck any less.

I can respect the effort, and I respect the fact that author understands doom builder at a technical level. Also, this isn't another one of those troll/joke wads, which I guess is a plus considering how much of them we get nowadays. Other that that, I dont have much good to say about what few maps I have played. Design/visuals are borderline ugly, with no sense for aesthetics and visual polish, and maps play as if author just slapped some monsters on them without much thought.

Excellent example demonstrating that understanding how DB2 works, and using it for creating nice levels with decent gameplay, are two totally different skills. Author understands the techniques DB2 offers, but most of the levels have just poor layout, poor ambiance, and at best awful gameplay. As DooM is first and for all about gameplay: small 2* for the huge effort, but it was horrible to play it out for giving a correct review. BTW a lot of these levels have been uploaded earlier.

My desire to keep playing Doom is what needs restoring after playing ten maps of this crap.

design is very 90s, and gameplay is pretty wonky. I really don't like it that much sry.

Most maps feel highly amateurish, in both visuals and gameplay. Quality improves as you go on, and it is clear that author was slowly starting to master doom builder and improve his skills as a mapper. Still, even the later maps don't reach a must play level and they are not worthy of suffering through author's truly abysmal early works. I suffered through this, you don't have to.

One of the best megawads I've ever played. The earlier levels where a little bit too underwhelming even in UV, though. So, 4/5.

5 stars because it's pretty decent overall and made game play mods incompatible.

The readme mentions being released on 6/17/2012, but the wad was actually finished on 6/17/2015. It was started in 2012, and the year was never updated. Just in case anyone was wondering.

      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.
