Review of One Sector Collection by Engired (2021)

https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/0-9/1so

A collection of short maps with a super-cute concept: each is limited to a single sector, making it more like a prettified Wolfenstein (except without doors).

There's not much to say about these maps; arguably the main point of this mapset is a romp through the various visual themes offered by Doom's textures, from yards, through libraries, to Hell. Visual effects are in short supply for obvious reasons (although the way the "sky" in the library is done is cute).

MAP06 feels oddly short with only 3 enemies on HMP, surely it could've been dragged out a bit more? MAP07 feels pointless with the exit switch very easy to reach. MAP31 gave me a chuckle with its Entryway demake concept.

Overall, good for a laugh but hardly a serious thing to play. 

★★★☆☆

3/5 stars.

[Since it's not possible to leave reviews on the old /idgames/ frontend, and the new frontend apparently doesn't include any uploads from the last few years, I have no choice but to publish it here.]
