I've been playing and enjoying them, megawads like Scythe, and Eternal, etc, and other than being wonderfully drawn and somewhat challenging...why are some of the hidden areas so damn difficult to get to? Like in New World, for instance, the button to open the door to the castle (or whatever) was on a ledge that I couldn't get to. Literally, there was no way to get there. I had to cheat code my way up there. Okay, you want some hidden areas that are tricky to get to, posing a challenge for repeat play, fine, but this was like the second map. It horribly interrupts the flow of the level, making it needlessly annoyingly frustrating. (Also, there are too many revenants, but that's a personal complaint. :)) I know it sounds like I'm whining, but counter-intuitive hidden switches are just irritating. I can easily cheat code through, but if I'm doing that, then what's the point?
