Going to have to agree with the one who said it's not that great. 50% or so of it is "tributes" that are basically inferior rehashes of areas from the IWAD levels. The Swamp of Despair is a high point, but that's not saying much given what it's a high point in.

Lots of bland, open, plainly designed areas, some of which copy areas from the original Hexen IWAD for...some reason. Gameplay is very easy and very straightforward--no challenges save for the Stalker Bosses in "Swamp of Despair," which was the only map with atmosphere and a need for tactical ability. The final battle is anticlimactic, not to mention very easy because you can get some in-fighting going. 2/5

Alexander is out for good. He's still mapping the new project.

Nice open map design. A bit empty; could have done with less stalkers and more of everyone else, and a bit more embellishments around the maps. Still, it has a very "clean" feel to it that you don't get in that many wads, which makes it nice to play.

Poorly thought tricks and traps, + empty spaces = a very "good" example of what you should not do when you build a nice set of levels for Hexen. It's a pity since it really feels like the author can do something far better, but these are just straightforward levels with no imagination. Shame, as I was expecting something else since the reviews weren't too bad. 2/5, doesn't worth more than this.

I like this one quite a lot. Everything is clean and neat, though detail is a bit sparse in places. Several of the maps have excellent atmosphere, particularly the Swamp of Despair. Lots of fast action--i. e. tearing around the aforementioned swamp like some jumped up bloodslavering crawdaddy whilst liberally administering the 'ol "axeblade sodomy" to the hordes of local Stalkers. Not perfect though--mana and artifacts are definitely overabundant. Still, a great effort. --TDotW

The gameplay and visuals are not the greatest, but it's not too bad. The aforementioned swamp does have some cool bits.

      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.
