10 Confusing Video Game Levels Everyone Got Lost In

10. The Foundry - Doom (2016)

Unlike other levels in Doom (2016), The Foundry is a massive, sprawling level with multiple different pathways. It's kind of a precursor to what iD Software would do with Doom Eternal.

And thank god they had time to practice with this level, because if all of Doom Eternal's levels were like The Foundry, it would've been intolerable.

The Foundry is a massive maze of corridors and hidden areas, every inch of which you have to scour in order to progress the game. While Doom's detailed map feature does make this a somewhat tolerable experience, and is the reason it's down here at the bottom of the list, the repetitive metal hallways and winding branching paths mean you'll often be going in directions you've already turned upside down.

But hey, at least The Foundry subscribes to the progression philosophy of the rest of the game: if there are demons, you're going the right way. So while confusing, it isn't totally unbearable.

The same cannot be said going forward.
