So I decided to play through a bunch of older (pre-2010) wads and see how they hold up.

Started off with Scythe, which is just great. I can see why this guy gets hyped. Very concise and vanilla vibe maps with interesting layouts, that don't overstay their welcome, like a high quality official episode.

Difficulty wise very forgiving at first, on Ultra Violence I didn't die until like map 10, but once it gets going it's still very satisfying. More wads should give you a "warm up" like this instead of just being balls hard from the word go.

9/10, best kind of wad, still holds up even if it's not as flashy and impressive as today's best. Gameplay wise it's on point, which is what counts.

What went right?
