I still haven’t gotten around to buying Ultimate Doom or Final Doom. So, at the prodding of Florian, I’ve started trying certain notorious community projects…
Hell Revealed: I tried this one first. At first it seemed nice; there are some interesting early levels. However ultimately it’s a bit silly in the overuse of things: monsters, switches, lifts, etc. Hell Revealed 2 goes even more overboard, though it was made by different people.
Memento Mori: Trying this one now. So far I’m impressed, especially with certain parts that deliberately echo id levels (such as the secret in Interlock (map 3) that’s a direct echo of Doom 2’s Entryway (map 1).
