"not darker than anything in the base game" i haven't tried this map yet but from the base game i find the subcon forest tree hookshot things to be pretty dark. they are talking about how much they love to hang you

The map was really good. The clouds, lightning, obstacles. However, after killing the invisible nyakuza cats the fight hung and the elder just kept shooting missiles forever.

I'm not sure what kind of epic pro gamer you expected to be playing this (I wonder if you even played this map yourself, honestly), but the optional area and the boss fight are just asinine. The rest of the level was fun and enjoyable, aside from there not being enough checkpoints. I enjoyed the atmosphere and dialogue, too.

Excellent level! 10/10

Level is good, but the bossfight is not....

This is one of the best mpas ive ever played!
Kudos to you!

I- is- is this- is thiss... *A dark souls-like?*

The map leading up to the bossfight was fun, but the bossfight itself was absolutely PECKING RIDICULOUS. Between the camera, the disorienting particle effects, the sixty trillion pushy birds IN ADDITION to the absolutely buckwild bullet hell, the fact that you have to sit through that entire conversation each time you die... I couldn't even do it with assist mode. Might be able to do it if I combine the astronaut helmet mod with the RYNO II mod and cheese it to hell, but by that point ya might as well just quit.

The fixed camera as others mention just doesn't do justice for bosses like this. Too much to focus on, easy to lose HK in the chaos. Also overall just harder to gauge what you're doing when you're literally a speck on the screen. Fine map otherwise

What the two other comments said--map itself as swell, but i legit didn't even try the boss a second time.

I really liked the progress to the boss, but the boss itself makes me leave a negative review. There is to much on screen to do with a fixed camera. I would list the issues, but I believe the "Review I guess?" covers mostly everything. If you ever decide to revamp the boss a bit, I would love to attempt it again however.

I generally liked the map, but not so much the boss. The fixed view makes everything more difficult than necessary, as you can't make out anything from that afar.
