Wow! This is a fantastic wad, with great textures, nice architecture and some very atmospheric maps, especially some very dark ones.
Unfortunately, I played this on Skill 2 by mistake, and some maps were very easy on this level. But with higher difficulty settings, most maps should be quite a nice challenge.
I was unsure, wether to give this 5 or 4,5 stars and decided, not to give it the highest score, because it has two bugs: on skill 2, there's one key missing in one of the early maps, and in map 14 I had to idclip, because I found no way out of the building. In doombuilder, I've seen that the exit door had tag 666 which didn't seem to work in this map.
However, some maps are real gems, like maps 15 and 16, which provides a great Stonehenge landscape.
Highly recommended!!
