Really simple, and ugly, start map.

Very simple, ugly and dark base map.

Not much has improved here, still a pretty basic, ugly base map.

I get the feeling these are getting worse.

The ending is neat, but everything else is a jumbled mess of a tech base map. Geometry looks ugly, texture usage is awful, gameplay flow is terrible.

It’s better than the previous maps, I’ll give it that. Since it only has a single weapon pickup, a lightning gun, and close to no shells, it was quite the challenge to shotgun start this map.
Besides being ugly and just throwing monsters at you, the other flaw is getting stuck in the wind tunnel.

Another really ugly, uninteresting map, with a subway station theme. If you start the “subway” platform without opening the bars first, or you fall from it, you will no longer be able to get back on. You can still cross the big gap, due to a really small ledge on the right side, so there is no actual softlock.

The best in the bunch. It’s still somewhat of a simple map, but it’s nice to look at and has decent enough gameplay. It has nice decorations and some neat details, like the light going out when you trigger the secret.

It’s not bad, certainly better than the maps present in episode 1. Most likely the third best one in the zip.

Actually pretty decent, second best map in the group. Has a good challenge and the rock-only architecture is good enough.
Was not expecting an actual custom boss. It’s a slightly modified version of Chthon, with a custom model, that you can shoot. But it does its job well and provides a good challenge.

Just a room where you watch a bunch of monsters kill themselves. No exit.

It’s a group of bad to average maps. The second episode and end map significantly raises the overall average.
Can still be worth a playthrough.
