![]() It should be said that the weakest the Megawad gets is "Eternal Doom II," as part III as a whole finishes strong, aside from a bloated copy-cat of map 12 that stands in the map 30 slot. Most of the maps aren't awful by any means (Actually a few of them are-Map 14 comes to mind), but it almost feels unfair to put any set of maps after one of the greatest 12-level episodes of all time. Beautiful architecture and intuitive layouts are traded out for strange abstract maps with misaligned textures and an overall quality that feels better suited for something like "D!Zone." However, that praise does not carry on to Eternal Doom's two expansions, dubbed, "Eternal Doom II" and "Eternal Doom III," created by TeamTNT, which make up maps 13-32 and are, at best, an incredibly mixed bag and worst-well- painful. Hexen and Heretic both have beautiful textures, and the maps use them to great advantage to create sprawling medieval architecture and display some of the best environmental story-telling present in any wad I've ever played. The levels are huge, yet finding one's way about them is an enjoyable task rather than a maddening chore. ![]() The original "Eternal Doom," which makes up the first 12 maps of this Megawad, is an absolute must-play masterpiece. Play till level 12 or where it breaks and never touch the rest even with long stick. Tl dr: first third 4.5/5, second 2/5 final 1/5. It's quite a shame because design (architectonics-wise) even many of latter levels are not bad at all. ![]() For the rest who wanna play Doom and not Supaplex or The Incredible Machines (games which do in far more enjoyable and better way those things authors of latter parts of Eternal are trying to achieve), look literally anywhere else. Looking for problems to find keys in EVERY level? Enjoying wandering through already discovered parts for 30 minutes without any progress? Wanting to shoot something with 100% ammo and health but nothing around for ages? Love millions of switches? If answers to these question is yes, search no further Eternal is just for you. ![]() I cannot emphasize enough how much I hated especially last half didn't even finish it, which I do very rarely. The steps from very good to terrible is very quick like in a typical movie trilogy. ![]()
