Bloody Steel stands out with its decayed industrial environments. The mapping is very detailed and busy with terrain features but not to the point where its hard to make out the layout of the level. I cared more for the modern environments than the time-travelling that happens later in the wad but altogether I thought the journey was cool.

Sometimes it could be hard to figure out where to go. A switch on one side of the map opens a gate on the other, so to speak. This didn't happen too often, though, and you can intuit what switch opens what. I had an easier time with this one compared to several years ago when I first played it and got stuck on the final level.

I played this with Project Brutality which was pretty great for these realistic and gritty environments. Regardless if you play vanilla, this is guaranteed a map wad that demands mouselook with all the verticality in the environments.
