Happy 30th birthday to the best, and most influential, game of all time. Doom. As such, I thought I would play through this newly released expansion by one of the creators of Doom, John Romero, and give my thoughts.
A sequel of the 2019 expansion "Sigil," "Sigil II" is a harder, more brutal sequel that offers great challenges. It uses the mechanics introduced in the original to great effect, sometimes hiding secrets and at other times opening locked doors.
Most maps in this set are exceptional, showing why his maps were the best in the original Doom games. The only map I had a problem with was E6M7, "Descent Into Terror." The only problem I had with it was the ending section. It wasn't made obvious to shoot the 4 stone face textures to open the exit.
Overall, I had a great time with this, and is an excellent way to celebrate Doom's 30th! I really hope John Romero makes more of these, because I always have fun with his maps.
