Reliquiae #5

Thanks for playing everyone.

Even though I disagree with the people who outright call this map "bad", I do agree that it is of a different flavour to most other entries. Initially the map was made for a mod that was going to have some fling-based sections, so I tried to come up with something creative. That said, I also prefer purely logical solutions to those requiring some dexterity, as these are more prone to unintended solutions as well.

Regarding the final move in the second room - I think if you do it in the right way, it should not be difficult at all to execute (see the playthrough by lapicidas linked in the description). However, I understand that there are many variants of the intended strategy that are in fact rather tricky to execute, which can be easily mistaken for the intended solution. This is generally bad design, but I still don't think it is *that* bad. But yeah, I'm not a huge fan of this map either and it is definitely the least exciting entry in the series

This map is suprisingly bad in comparison to the other Reliquiae maps so far. The last part of the second chamber was really mechanically dificult and I had to use quick save to not go insane, which is never a good sign in a puzzle game.

The first room was fine, there were two ways to do the lower jump, but I'm glad I found the intended way first as it was way cooler. Overall still a good map, except for the end of the second room.

Yeah, this one's getting a thumbs-down from me. The final move in the second room proved to be extremely frustrating. Just wasn't able to get it down

Cool idea, great puzzles, but now i understand, that i hate this qte with build up velocity. I was not able to set the exit portal correctly nor i like the idea to repeat everything for a try. Solving was good, nocliped both final jumps. Thumb down from me. Would recommend to see, would not to play

I forgot about using the funnel to lower you closer to your portal to decrease your momentum and ended up shooting a portal on the angled surface and on the floor to jump into, but then I accidentally fell into the portal on the angled surface and it gave me a ton of upward velocity. I knew this wasn't the solution so I dropped back down and tried what I meant to do and ended up doing an epic strafe into an upside-down portal to give me the velocity I needed to get on the ledge and solved it intentionally from there.

never occurred to me to try grabbing a cube while falling. neat trick.

More specifically, the problem with the angled ceiling panel is that it doesn't always successfully nudge you onto the exit platform of the first room. Plus, it interferes with using portals to keep your height and give you time to get your bearings before moving onto the first room's exit platform .

I definitely enjoyed the music, though!

Oh, and I found the Companion Cube in this one! https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/id/sillymel/screenshot/2485497501523123823/
