As another member of the "Weird artistic bullshit gimmick maps" category of wads, Axolotl: Regenerated is one I was at least kinda interested in seeing what there was here, but I left very quickly, and very disappointed. Axolotl features such maps as: Everything runs away from you and kills itself, weird platforming that ends after a minute, standing on a tiny platform fighting Scythe 2 Afrits, platforming puzzles on falling platforms, rocket jumping bullshit, everything dies instantly as soon as it touches you, a quiz minigame, and a slaughtermap you can't play until you solve a weird puzzle I didn't understand. And if you want, after that there's MORE! : ) The only map here I actively kinda enjoyed was Map 72, (yes the secret maps start at Map 69 ha ha very funny game) which is a kinda cool shooting gallery type map where you can't move but have a button you can press to duck into the ground to dodge attacks. Everything else in the secret maps (which is more like just the other half of the wad) was basically universally worse than the regular maps. If the aforementioned "Weird artistic bullshit gimmick maps" category is your jam, sure maybe this is your thing, but for me I only got like 40 minutes of annoyance and IDCLEVing to at least try every map once.
Rating - N/A
Favorite/Least Favorite Map skipped because the WAD wasn't completed.
