this is another relatively nice set, many levels got that traditional Doom feel while also feeling quite fresh at the same time. there's nothing really bad about this set, even if the last map is a traditional boss map featuring a spider then a cyber, it still works out. lots of secrets, but nothing is really hard to find. recommended.

A quite simple wad, but very well made and polished that gives a good quality load to enjoy, recommending for all those who look for something simple and easy but entertaining and great, the maps I love, they show a very good quality and the creator He seems to have achieved his idea completely, quite entertaining and simple, if I can describe it with something, it would be ... a hamburger, great, quick, and delicious to try.

This is a set of nine solid maps. The themes are varied, mostly a mixture of KDitD techbase and hell. The maps are generally along the easy side (very Doom2-ish), but there are still some surprises to be found. The decorations in the maps are also very Doom2-ish in that they're simple but they're both functional and look good. Map layouts and progression are for the most part good, but there a few spots where progression is a bit obscure. The difficulty progression was also good, except TAB08 was disappointingly easy.

 

One random thing I liked was the continuity. If you end a level in a red brick area, you are going to start the next level in a red brick area. One random thing I disliked was that no door had its tracks unpegged. I know it can be a stylistic choice but it bothered me. Also, Gzdoom features are used to create a new selectable episode. Unfortunately, this means it won't run in most ports, which sucks because the maps don't seem to use any other Gzdoom features.

 

Overall, I'd probably recommend this to anyone looking for something easy and simple to play for an hour or so.

Beaten this in a 2-player survival game with double ammo. Took us just about 1 hour. It's a very good map set, through and through. Tad too easy - we didn't die once. But still, everything here is superb. Good job.

      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.
