Dilapidation: Part 6

map broken, after the first level you get soft locked

Great series, well thought through right to the end :) Just wished I wasn't so late to the party.....

This was quite the redeeming ending, I must say. Love the custom boss fight. And the puzzle was a welcome change of pace as well - those are in my opinion the best kinds of puzzles, those that look simple but are much harder to solve than they first appear based on the fact that the few elements that do exist must be put to very clever use. There is mild coordination required but nothing that’s undoable, especially if you made it through the last map.

Throughout the entire series I LOVED the fact that you kept trolling the player with unreachable companion cubes XD that’s how you know someone’s a true Portal 2 memer. But it was a nice wrap-up allowing the player to finally unite with it in this last part….

I tried recording a blindrun but unbeknownst to me I ran out of disk space rather early on so it’s a worthless vid :/

Difficulty: 6.5/10
Enjoyed: 8/10

It's funny that so many of your tests stumped me, but the supposedly hardest one, this one with the companion cube, I solved in 5 minutes. It was the GLaDOS battle I couldn't finish...

Great series!

Suddenly worked out the solution to the companion cube bit on a car ride

I had to quit this one, got sick and tired of trying to get across that gap. Pretty annoying that if you don’t do it first try you have to go back to the beginning and piss about bringing the cube back up there again

(One minor bug: save/loading during the boss fight can sometimes shut off the music.)

The comments warned me about the turret ambush , so not sure if it would've caught me out otherwise, but the sudden appearance of the laser field seems like a good way to warn that GLaDOS' treachery isn't quite over.

Great atmospheric design, intense music usage... chamber puzzle quite simple (clever central move, but eh, we've seen harder already) and very short. The boss fight... oy. It's a great idea, but figuring out how the third and fourth flings work while stressed by a timer feels a bit player-hostile. It's not that easy to visually spot that even a "full" fizzler doesn't actually go all the way up to the ceiling, especially when you're already panicking a little.

Lovely "we end at the... beginning?" moment, though.

(Part 1 is still the worst, part 4 is still the best.)

That took me way longer to figure out how to get the cube through the two emancipation grills, but I'm VERY glad I didn't look up a guide, because it was super satisfying figuring it out.

Also, genius that the end is the beginning, I wonder if I'd walked the other way would it start again? If only community maps could be strung together like a campaign.

First of all, a big F*CK YOU for cooking my brain on parts 4 and 6. The former took me almost two hours to solve and the latter - specifically the puzzle before GLaDOS - almost got me searching for a walkthrough until I managed to figure it out. It looked simple but it wasn't!

Secondly, my compliments to this excellent series! I'm new to community-made test chambers / maps and this is so far the hardest I've come across. I've just finished the Reconstruction series too and - even if it's been almost nine years since its release - I hope it gets a continuation one way or another.

Cheers!
