Overhyped due to nostalgia

While it is evident that a lot of effort went into this modpack to get everything to function, the early-mid game feels like it is hard for the sake of being hard. Additionally, the difficulty is not due to the player's lack of skill, but rather because they are thrown into a world where there are too many enemies that cannot be taken down without higher-level gear and are sometimes unavoidable once you even see they are there. If this modpack were released today, I doubt it would gain much more traction than any of the other ultra-hard "kitchen sink" style modpacks. I would not recommend this pack for any reason other than nostalgia.
