No Rest For The Living was really good. A solid, Doom 1 style set of maps with really elaborate secrets that still feel logical and well-telegraphed, and a solid challenge on UV pistol start that kept me feeling tense and excited to retry, but not frustrated.

The Cyberdemon maze shootout at the end was an interesting way to make a bossfight interesting nowadays, forcing the player to switch hunt and know how to handle the constant horde of imps vs the stalking Cybie with just a rocket launcher.

It's too bad that it's only legally available via the BFG Edition IWADs, but I assume everyone who was interested already acquired it through other means.

Next is TNT and then Plutonia, I guess. I'm excited to see how tough Plutonia is, given its reputation.
