Compared to the 1st map this one is annoying. Sure there were some questionably balanced fights and half baked mechanics in the last map but this map seems to relish in doubling down on all the negatives.
Combat isn't anywhere near as engaging and I think the only fight I genuinely enjoyed was the last one. Most fights are lame, unbalanced, or rely too heavily on underbaked gimmicks which really stalls the pacing. Of course, all the issues are compounded by the fact none of the cutscenes are skippable.
Apparently there's a secret level but I learned of this after unsubbing from the map and I can't be bothered to go back through just to play another map that more than likely has questionable quality.
I can't fault the visuals though, older Sam maps definitely have a lot of charm and make really good use of the original assets Croteam made for TSE.
Thanks again for watching and as always, stay Serious!
