Finale time!

I'm honestly not sure how much has been changed in this level compared to Singleplayer, but at the same time the fights are so damn good that I really don't care. I know a lot of people generally don't like this level, but to me it's easily the 2nd best finale to any Sam game, rivaled only by SS2 & TSE that are tied for 1st place.

One very notable change in COOP though is one of the secrets that you can get in the large open arena about midway through the level that adds jump pads. Something about their inclusion makes the fight feel much more dynamic and memorable.

Sadly the boss is still pretty lame as all you need to do is stick rods in his back and wait for the lightning to kill him or bring him low enough to finish off, but the level itself more than makes up for it imo.

I had a lot of fun playing through Redux again and I feel confident in calling it the definitive BFE experience. It's the perfect example of how focusing on the finer details can drastically improve the overall experience, and while most people will overlook these things, the people who do notice them will be super happy.

My favorite aspect of Redux by far though is the COOP exclusive stuff which effectively gives you 2 rework mods for the price of 1. You want to experience the original BFE but wish it had better pacing, play singleplayer; you want a more challenging/goofy experience, play in COOP.

Huge thanks to SeriousAmaro again for letting me playtest this project and for all the hard work he put into it!

Thanks again for watching and as always, stay Serious!
