Still my favourite standalone SP map, with a very surprising new weapon, great gameplay, incredible variations in fights, great tension and a location where almost everything is reachable (even a sadistic secret :) worthy of Xenome).
Fear of heights? Don't play this.
And all basically in a a single square area. Definitely the well-deserved winner of a mapmaking contest.
I strongly suggest to play this before reading the review, you won't regret it.

You know, one of the great things about these MOTW threads is that (as a relative newcomer to the Unreal community) I get to find out about maps I wouldn't have otherwise known about. I'll definitely be checking this filthy temptress out, how sexy does that lighting look?! Hats off to you Mr Nuffly sir.

My old comments:

"Definitely one of the best single maps, although I do somewhat agree with Sana's complaints of the start being a bit irritating at times, and the bottom levels maybe being slightly dark, along with the climbing ropes of death. On the other hand it's very high in difficulty while mostly staying fair, and makes great use of space to fill out a location that could easily be very empty. Also, the skybox reveal as the level goes on is a bit of subtle storytelling genius (as well as the cool interaction with it at the end)."

Still the strongest solo single map release. What's really make all amazing is the small time frame (deadline included) in which this level was made.
