Classic shitty map from 1995...I accidentally hit the secret exit and the door were not like a proper door even its sector wasn't a secret area so it made no sense...the whole level just...shitty, nothing else, bad door textures, random texturing everywhere, the weak monsters and more than enough amount of ammo made this level so easy, just easily get lost due blend and bad textures/texturing in whole level. 2/5 -playerlin

I liked the use of lighting and creepy texture use here, some parts of the design seemed creative. The fights are decent with the slime and hitscanners. Its flaws are the need to use silent switches (on console blocks) and that if you don't you can get stuck without a needed key. The secret exit is not marked, although I reached it at the end with the automap powerup. The music is fine and the sounds creepy and seem original but removable because they are too crude.

Slightly large, ugly nukeage base of some sort. Progression is a little confusing and involves some running back and forth. Fights are easy, with only smaller monsters and plenty of ammo. Two exits exist, the secret one is found in one of the many hidden and superfluous side areas. Several doors are completely unmarked and several switches have unclear effects. There's a helpful (proper) secret area right at the start. Overall, feels very rough around the edges and is not worth your time. --1/5

I got stuck in the SE map section, while holding only the yellow key. There was a lift in the building surrounded by nukage that I could activate but not get on. Wandered around looking for switches, secrets, but found nothing. Seems like not well playtested...

I kinda like the big places in this map and you don't easilly get lost. The design sometimes is very simple (one texture over the place) or not so alligned but I don't mind that. Though, to reach some places for normal progression you need to find secrets, also there are many secrets without the secret tag. 2.5/5 - Optimus

      I think should write something here, since some of the sounds are used in my recent wad.   Although, everything relevant has been said already. Here's "golden star" for proving, that even dubious mods have something intresting.

      One of the more underrated doom mods out there. The levels have a lot of detail and great use of 3D sectors, used for railings and other things. Not a lot of mods that I know of has these attentions to detail back then other than KDiZD. I like how the first gun, not weapon, first gun in the mod is a quad barreled shotgun. This might be bias but I don't see any other mods or games give the player a quad barreled shotgun as a starter weapon.

      The cutscenes and artwork used for them are REALLY well made. I like its story and the protagonist John Logan. His design looks like a cross between Daniel Garners from Painkiller and the Doom Marine from well, Doom 3.

      Speaking of Painkiller, the mod uses tracks from Painkiller, which is a nice touch. Admittedly, there are things in Legacy of Suffering that I don't like, such as the Painkiller/Serious Sam arena wave sections. Not all of them are bad, but the later levels that uses them are the worst offenders. Often spawning mancubi, pain elementals, and revenants that just makes the fights more tedious.
      DISCLAIMER: SPOILERS AHEAD
      END OF SPOILERS:
      In conclusion, Legacy of Suffering is a really well made mod and I really want other people to try it out. I would suggest to start on the easiest difficulty, do NOT get fooled by the normal difficulty Ultra Violence, it will kick your ass, and anything higher will probably break your soul. Other than that, I would highly recommend you to play this mod. It can be played on GZDoom, Zandronum, and Skulltag. That is the end of the review, have a nice day :)

      Enigma is not exactly my cup of tea; the mandatory secrets are a bit annoying and the confusing layout of the maps doesn't help much. Still, the maps are fun to navigate and they feature some great architecture that lead to unique gameplay encounters. Overall, it's decently fun.

      Nothing better than baiting the Bazooka Man into blowing himself up! Obituary doesn't pull any punches; you'll be facing tons of hitscanners and plenty of nasty traps, but you'll get to appreciate the fine work the Möller brothers did with this WAD. The maps are intricately designed with a judicious use of textures, some of them custom-made. The new array of weapons is great, especially the flamethrower, which can shred down a cyberdemon in seconds! The low point might be the plain secret map and icon of sin fight, but overall, Obituary strikes home more often than not.

      In recent years, general opinon of MM seemed to move towars negative, moreso than any other classic 90's megawad. It's nice to see it recieve some positive attention and even though I'm not exactly a reviewer, I figured I'd join in. Aside from couple rough maps, it remains a great experience today. Generally good and varied vanilla visuals with beautiful highlights like Maps 05, 13, 14 and 21, certainly helped by some great, really cool custom textures, which fit in with the classic ones incredibly well, much better than any other 90's custom stuff (aside from Eternal Doom, but that's a completely different aesthetic). The maps are quite varied without the whole thing becoming incosistent/all over the place and the variety really helps blaze through the whole thing. In comparison, while I prefer MM2 in terms of individual levels, it has a ton of long or similar maps back to back, which can get tiring and take much longer to geth through. Another aspect of MM I really like is some really, unique and fun design choices, or even whole map designs that you don't see much these days for some reason. The Innocent Crew's maps especially are very creative in fun and refreshing ways. Incredibly underrated mappers. Literally everyone knows this already, but Mark Klem's music is amazing.
