A bit dark at first, don't go blowing the barrels in your face, the maps were getting better as I follow the episode. I remember getting lost in e2m7 (my favourite).

very classic, only thing I don't like is abundance of barrels in some parts. I like how the author himself says he's not as good at Doom than other players and makes gameplay as fair as possible while still keeping it fun. some people should get a clue.

You folks that are whining about it being to "maze-y", "slow", "bland" or (according to one rocket scientist) "stupid" - go back to your moron slaughter wads. This is a brilliant map set, worthy of 5 out of 5.

The level structure was too Wolfenstein-like, heavily maze-y and orthogonal more often than not, it was like playing Wolfenstein with Doom features. The maps were gradually getting better at utilizing these Doom features, but the principle stayed, and I only got massively overwhelmed in the later levels. Gameplay itself was very slow. Aesthetics looked okay for an oldschool wad, more or less, but rather less. Interesting ideas with barrels (start of E2M4), but not enough efficiently executed. 2/5

A surprisingly exceptional oldschool E2 replacement, retains the look but offers a beefy challenge with intuitive traps and not your standard monster count. Can you say Barrel orgy? :P Combine this with an expansive and non-linear design with a depth of exploration and I say this even surpasses classic episodes in this age. Shame it was the author's only release. 5/5 - B.Krypto.

First level is pretty ordinary. Exploding barrels are all it has. Didnt play any more.

This absolutely fantastic and legendary E2 replacement. First ever doom-pwad that I played. I bought an add-on CD in 1996 where the name dinner.wad immediately struck out. An all-time favourite! Superbly creative and professionally done for 1995! 5/5 -Nebula-Kristian

My ship sails in the morning. I wonder what's for dinner? Anyway, a good set of maps from the olden days of mapping...the excellent and challenging gameplay well balances out the architecture, which while well-constructed for the most part is rather square and uninteresting. Definitely worth a play. 4/5

A quite play-worthy episode, which is not only fun but also has a decent look throughout.

      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.
