That’s a good map. Relyed not on encounters but on atmosphere & pacing. Not a constant ongoing battle, but a slow escalation. As long as I adore Black Mesa and HL franchise in whole - loved that map. 5 stars

SOFTLOCK ISSUE: Make sure you absolutely jump onto the silver key or you will fall down via a trapdoor/teleporter combo & never see it again. I learned this the hard way & had to do an “impulse 9” in order to finish the level.
Pretty darn ambitious for a first map. Neat visuals, a rather grandiose scale, and some nice moveable bits. Could’ve just used a tad more playtesting to work out some kinks. Hope to see more from this mapper!

Very enjoyable level. Decidedly thoughtfully designed and competent, especially for a first.
I’m definitely looking forward to this author’s next map! Thank you for sharing this with us.
This is excellent for a first map.
This mapper demonstrates an ability to plan and design a large map, to create the brushwork and to do a reasonable lightng.
Here and there i find a lack of detail, but i find it acceptable for a map this size. I would also like a few more mood-setting sounds and lights, but again, it’s acceptable for the map size.
The underpopulation of monsters help setting the mood, and gives it a welcome feeling of a ‘exploring’ map…which triggers the previously mentioned feeling of too few details! (Murder map == less detail, explorer map == more detail) Some monsters are a bit easy to pick off; they are visible from far away.
All in all a good map… No, a very good map! As i said, excellent for a first map! I hope to see a lot more from the hand of this mapper!
Thanks for sharing, and please carry on!

A really good looking first map! It’s definitely more for people who like to explore and admire the scenery. It’s rather lightly populated with enemies, but since the scenery was good, I didn’t mind the relative emptiness that much.

This map is really fun.
Not too difficult for me, secrets 8/9, some thinking about how to grab the keys …
…everything is okay with this.
I would never be able to create such a first map.
( I would never be able to create a first map at all. )
5/5. Of cause. Thanx.
