Just finished playing Sigil, after it was mentioned on another thread.
I quite enjoyed it I must say. The levels looked really good, with nicely intricate sector work.
Despite the levels all looking really vast and epic, combat all somehow felt scrappy, desperate and claustrophobic in a really good way.
Ammo felt like a commodity without being too sparse. I never seemed to be maxed on any type of ammo (apart from shotgun once or twice), but I also was never completely out of everything.
Difficulty was well dialled-in – always a challenge, but it never felt unfair or uneven.
In short, I’d say Romero still has it!
I also like that he chose to use DOOM 1 as a basis instead of DOOM 2 – very bold, but right up my alley.
Also nice that it’s totally vanilla. I actually got it to play on hardware with a stock standard executable.
Of course it ran way too slow, and crashed very quickly when it ran out of visplanes…
Next I think I’m going to play Legacy of Rust…
