Nice details and visuals. Maybe bitt claustrophobic but that's not weakness at all and i kinda like it. Gameplay is what ruining the map. For six months of work the gameplay feel very unbalanced and bad. Lot of stronger enemies appear on a place where you can't move properly.

The visuals of the map is rich in details, but they look somewhat erratic and do not form a solid style. Although, some of the author's decisions looks new for me. If you be careful enough, then this map may well bring positive impressions of the gameplay. Lock a player in a narrow space with strong opponents is controversial idea, but an experienced player can get good trial from fights by finding a winning strategy. In general, the map does not leave the desire to go through it again. I recommend this map for seekers of hard and challengind gameplay.

Extremely detailed map that doesn't offer much. Visuals are cluttered, and layout is rectangular and consists of rooms connected with corridors. There are some multiplayer issues that could've been avoided. Fights consist of monster invasions in tiny rooms. Grabbing a chaingun gives you hilariously harsh punishment. Author definitely has technical knowledge, but needs to improve on other aspects.

Hypertek was meh at the start, but by the end of 30 minutes of a tight maze, I left my sanity long behind. There's little room to strafe. Its a labyrinth of switches and doors. Doors that open with switches, doors that don't... Big enemies in little spaces. Enemy traps that teleport in from in front to distract you and behind to sandwich you. Visuals are a mish mash of tech vomit that puts in a lot of detail for little effect.

It's not bad design-wise but the gameplay really lets it down. Lots of increasingly strong monsters appear in a small space with little movement. Doesn't really work.

Very mixed bag. Author shows technical skills, and he knows how to decorate too. ATOH the map layout is too rectangular and repetitive, and the ambiance lacks originality. Gameplay suffers from the boring switchhunt. Much worse is that, due to the awfully repeatably thus predictable monster placement / popups, gameplay @ UV is maybe hard but not attractive. Not at all... IOW: playing it sadly did not give fun. Overall: 2* as encouragement, and author might seriously consider using beta testers.

Looks competent but suffers from far too much "hit a switch, then another switch, then other switch which locks you in a small room with 20 monsters" gameplay.

      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.
