I really didn't expect it to happen but the probably best Harry Potter custom map creator of the old era has finally returned to making NEW maps with the new Harry Potter 2 (PC) Editor and Engine! And I was so soo curious to see what he can do with some more modern tools and I have to say: He didn't disappoint at all! This Lumos challenge put a biiiig amount of effort into puzzles and cool little areas in which you first had to find out how to progress. On top of it the map looked really cool and every texture used fit together incredibly well making the entire product look and feel like it could have been an actual spell challenge from the old games or even a dungeon from Hogwarts Legacy! I had a great time figuring out the way through those puzzle rooms and understanding the custom mechanics and ways to solve it that he coded in.
You can definitely tell that he stayed true to his mapping style and that his creative ideas are still there and really fun to play through. But he also improved in A LOT of aspects most importantly the secrets which always used to be an issues of mine with his maps. Now it's not just random walls to cast at but instead pretty complex puzzles that can sometimes be hard to find but are always clearly indicated and most importantly: very fair and fun to look for! I also feel like his polishing got a lot better and I got stuck in wayy less weird stuff and stupid softlocks this time.
The only thing that really annoyed me and also made this entire experience a lot longer than it should have been was a really weird collision killing Harry TWICE and a severe lack of savebooks. So this part is really the only thing I would have loved to be playtested a bit more so I give this map a good 8.5/10 overall. I have no doubts he will build a 10/10 very soon though, maybe after getting 1 or 2 people to playtest the entire map a little bit next time...
I hope that you are going to have an amazing time with this modern age Dmitry "Lemon" map, I for one am soo hyped that he is back at it!
