The Forgotten II – A Masterclass in Shitpost-y Level Design

The Forgotten II is a very good continuation of The Forgotten series by DaG - the series being a level documentation of his friend group meetups.

The Forgotten II has some charm that very few other levels have, and I truly mean that. The level is almost entirely composed of traces of pictures of DaG's friends using a scaled version of the default block which gives the creations an almost MS-Paint shit-posty-like appearance (which is exactly why it's brilliant). The whole level is a step away from a complete inside joke; the presentation was unique even in The Forgotten but stepped up for this one.

The level is littered with limited but incredibly tasteful 2.2 effects and additional features, often being used specifically only to further "hilarify" the situation DaG doesn’t just throw in flashy gimmicks for the sake of it, every screen shake, camera effect, particle, the sound effect is placed where it feels it right.

The Forgotten II know what it is and because of that is able to lean into it with zero shame. It takes a ridiculous concept and executes it with just enough polish to make it work, sometimes, all you need is a great idea.

This level is an unapologetic shit post, but it is a really, really good shitpost.
