Welp, I don't think this has aged very well...which is weird, because I remember loving this wad! Back in the day I found the early maps to be short and sweet, while the later, more "slaughter"-y maps to be a bit of a slog but still tolerable. Now I find the early maps to be just kind of dull, and the later slaughter maps absolutely insufferable.
The early maps are small, very small, and can be completed in just a couple of minutes, sometimes under a minute even (not even speed running. Just playing at normal speed). They're....fine. Kinda fun but also kinda uninteresting IMO.
The later maps are a real slog. Just endless spamming the BFG against 10 cyberdemons. Real mind-numbing stuff.
Maybe it's just because there have been so many awesome wads that are far more ambitious since 2003's Scythe. The novelty of it has worn off. Scythe was one of the first user wads I ever played, so maybe that also has something to do it with it... I don't know.
Final thoughts: oof
