Manix's magnum opus to this day. Manix influenced a large portion of my early years of playing GD, releasing many memorable works in 2.0 like Volcanic Rush, TakeDown, M A N I X and a handful of collab parts as well. It's true that his earlier 2.0 levels somewhat felt like a LazerBlitz knockoff (and other styles resembling it), but he showed improvement level after level - diversifying and deepening his style, even experimenting with effects in M A N I X, and overall making his levels feel much more vibrant. In that sense, Primal Redux is possibly the best finale to his 2.0 creating career. It essentially recaps everything he improved throughout that period, somehow even more refined. What I love the most about Primal Redux is that it's really diverse in terms of theming, yet all of them just feel 'Manix' in the end as they're tied together by his signature tech block design. Conclusion: This level's really cool, has pretty much everything I remember and love about 2.0. It has aura

Watching this years after it came out made me realize that I was starting to hate the Manix style in general. Such a hollow level.
