A very fun & detailed map for Fusion! It features a lot of unique Sam dialogue that I haven't heard before, makes use of The Last Hope (TLH) music, has neat enemies ported from modern Sam titles like TLH & Siberian Mayhem and has a really cool boss battle at the end.
Environments are stunning, cutscenes are very well done and capture the essence of classic Sam perfectly. The humor especially is really on point; it's a combination of TFE Sam's more dry one liners mixed with some of the more zany humor from Sam on Xbox and in the likes of Next Encounter.
It won second place as part of the Forgotten Worlds 2025 competition over on Serious Site; I mean no disrespect to Kuska when saying this but I firmly believe that this map is far more deserving of 1st place.
Gushing over the map aside, there are a few small issues I have with the map. As great as the cutscenes are, there are a few that are unskippable which can make repeat playthroughs a bit annoying. I'm also not a huge fan of the water killing the player instantly; I think it's a lame mechanic and should be replaced with a teleport script that damages the player a bit and puts them back on the main path.
SPOILERS FOR THESE LAST FEW ISSUES!!!
The boss's rock attack can one-shot the player... this sucks! The two temples in the boss arena are bugged; once you complete the temples, the doors will open to let you back in but there's no way to leave, you're effectively soft-locked until you load from a save prior to re-entering either temple! Last issue I have are the respawning enemies during the boss fight; again this is something I strongly dislike in maps but here the amount of enemies that spawn in is horrendous and the location they spawn in is a huge detriment to the player.
SPOILERS OVER!!!
Overall the map is amazing. Easily one of the best maps to have been released for Fusion this year and that's saying something considering this year has been a pretty good one for custom Sam maps.
Here's hoping some of the soft-locking issues can be addressed and some changes to the boss can be made if Alfeos decides to release this on the Steam workshop, which is something I definitely hope he does!
Thanks again for watching and as always, stay Serious!

Definitely not a 1:1 recreation of the demo from TSE, thats for sure.
This level contains some very questionable balancing & a couple skill points to mess around with. Thats not to say all fights are bad as some are quite good but the experience overall is a bit of a mixed bag.
You might enjoy it for the nostalgia though personally I dont think Ill have much of a reason to replay through this any time soon.
Thanks again for watching and as always, stay Serious!
