Return to Purgatory

This is an amazing pwad from '95 that has aged well due to its large maps and demon swarms. The fact that it was made by one of the Blood designers should tell you something. MAP14 is the best of the bunch, while MAP31 is the weakest. 5/5

I agree with all the above, and this wasn't even in the top 10 releases of 1995...

Well, it's decent-good for today, but unusually good for late '95, so I give it 5/5.

A fine set of maps that play well even today.An overlooked gem from '95. 5/5

Yes! Definitely legendary. It's by the guy who did much of the level design for the game Blood.

Decent levelset, nice open gameplay, but a bit one-dimensional. Some maps a lot better than others. Map14 was good but 15 annoyed me a bit. A few errors in places as well. I got stuck on two occasions. A good challenge anyway. - pritch

big, but very fast paced maps 4/5

This is a frequently brilliant collection of maps for Doom 2, from September 1995. The design is occasionally crude, but the gameplay is rock-solid. It's worth the download for Map14 alone, which is an exhilarating head rush, exactly like injecting sherbert into your brain. Map11 starts off a bit like the original Purgatory, which is id=12667, but overall this is much better. Stomps on most other 1994/1995 levels and levelsets.

Such a hidden gem for me. Very good for 95 and not only. Oldschool frantic action! 5/5 - Optimus
