After beating Mind Control, I looked for a new level to play and this one stood out since it uses the same song. I figured it'd be worth giving it a try and it was definitely a lot better than I expected. All of the major chokepoints that this level are known for were honestly not that difficult for me; or at least they were nowhere near as bad as people made them out to be. For me the biggest issues with this level were the teleporter transition in the ship at 25% and the drop wave. I think I only passed the drop wave like 10-15 times despite the many hundred attempts I had from zero, as the rest of the level was super consistent for me. I highly doubt this level would be fun as one of my hardest demons, but at my current skill level this was rather enjoyable.

Very nice atmosphere here but the gameplay is pretty uninteresting, admittedly. Its pretty much just a raw skill test which for a lot of players would make it very frustrating. This did get to me a little, as a lot of players beat this way faster than I did which made me go into it with expectations of knocking it out in around 20 minutes (which was not the case). That aside I did just happen to find this one much harder than most people do and seeing the insane demon opinions on this one just sort of feels like either people being egotistical or unaware of how skill-based it is (the latter of which is something I do myself on fast paced levels). I am not great at slow paced gameplay which probably resulted in me finding it as hard as I did.
Overall I really cant say I recommend this one in terms of its gameplay unless it appeals to you, but at the very least it is very nice to look at and the atmosphere is great. This song has been a classic choice for atmospheric non demon levels for as long as I can remember so seeing it in a level this hard was both unexpected and interesting to me, and for that I do respect it.
