wad reviews

What is it good for?

I'm playing SP maps quite regularly and to find and identify wads I've once played more easily, I started to make a list with some notes and keywords some years ago.
Now I've decided to write my remarks not only into that list, but to put them online. Maybe this will be useful to other players, too.

Settings and preferences

For me, the main thing in SP maps is not to celebrate a slaughter, but to dive into the Doom atmosphere.
For this reason, the optical layout of the map is a main criteria for a good review.
The challenge should be tight but fair. I'd rather prefer some cleverly placed Imps than a horde of Cyberdemons with plenty of Plasma and Invincibility Spheres lying around.
I always play on skill 3 ("Hurt me plenty") with the latest version of ZDoom.

May I send you my wad?

No. At present, there are 1,020 wads in my "unplayed Doom wads"-folder!
I'm around at Doomworld's /Newstuff chronicles and ZDaemon's review section every now and then and that's where I download all the new stuff from.
If you submit your wad at these places and it's catching my attention, I'll download it and play it for sure, sooner or later (rather later, I guess...).
The wads I'm playing are chosen randomly out of all unplayed wads.
