This is my first and only wad. The theme is evident in the title.

an epic area near the end reminded me of Star Wars--very cool. Strange things happen in the map that keep up the interest.

Surprisingly challenging and inventive, for such and old map. Clever traps and secrets, very enjoyable gameplay, and the cool "Star Wars" section (you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it) make up for the flaws: some very mixed architecture with many style clashes, and non-existing texture alignment. Progression is logical, but unless you know how to play the map, you'll be a little short on ammo, so be sure to save some whenever you can. Fine map. --4/5

Above average for its time. The architecture is varied and not square, but the texturing is sloppy and there's multiple themes. The progression is good, but a mandatory secret is needed (not the worst I've seen, though) and the level can be completed early due to a trick. Still, for 1994 and the guy's first wad, it's great. 3.5/5

This is dated September 1994; you fight 118 mostly weak monsters in a compact, random techbase / dungeon / reactor / swamp-type map. It's not bad fun although a bug means you can easily hop onto the exit teleport and finish the level in about 30 seconds. It needed more testing; you have to find an unmarked, non-obvious secret to get the blue key, and there are several bits where you fall into inescapable slime. It's slightly better than average for 1994.

      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.
