My Review
My Personal Opinions and Review:

Theme/Originality - 9/10. A very interesting and fresh theme for a CS map. Feels ever-so-slightly reminiscent of Office, but because of that map's rediculous underplayedness (Is that a word? Is now.), I feel it doesn't matter too much.

Balance - 6/10. Felt quite T-sided. There are too many fast routes to B with little to no opposition, which would make it near impossible to hold that site without 3 or 4 people there. Rotate times are also extremely T-Sided from what I could tell.

Ease of Play - 8/10. There are a few angles that really, really suck on this map, at least for me. More specifically, the railing on the stairs. I think that you should blow out the uppermost short section of it, because it would make a really nice holding spot for stairs if it wasn't so in the way of things. Other than that, Really easy and fun to get the gist of and play.

Competitive Viablility - 5/10. As of now, I do not think that, while fun, it is very viable for competitive play. There are to many PBOs that can be abused on A site (looking at you, computers) and there are some angles that are awkward to hold. Along with overall T-sidedness, I don't think it would be much fun. The verticality is also very risky and a lot of silvers will accidentally kill themselves on this map trying to Batman.

Overall Score - 7/10. Again, this is a really fun map for casual play, but with it's size, bad balance, and weird angles, I don't think it would be any fun in Comp, not to mention that it's essentially an interective ad for Codewise with their logo plastered everywhere.
