In so many senses, this is a truly great level.
I am slowly but surely getting tired of this type of "comic book style". A lot of them dont seem to have a ton of visual distinct-ness, and I couldn't tell you the names of the people who made each one, HOWEVER, this is probably one of if not the best levels that uses it.
The movement in this level is truly awesome; so much feels alive and vibrant, and so much of this level feels like it came out exactly as executed, and in some of the later parts, that shows strong. I love Abducted's visual energy, it's really cool.
The way the gameplay works is incredibly disappointing to me. Although it doesn't feel like an afterthought (like it does in some other gauntlet levels), it feels very half-baked, and I'm defo personally not a fan of this almost auto-ifying levels in this way. It just makes them kind of boring to play, in my opinion. The pre-drop is probably the least interesting part.
People criticize this level's art a lot, and I think that's short-sighted. Yeah, its not amazing, but that is not the only part of the level. Like Rage Quit, I expected this level to get a lot of undeserved or (at best) misdirected hate, and it makes me want to rate it higher because a lot of the people are loudly annoying about it, but I'll try to stay with my opinion from when I first saw this. I like the level a lot, it has a visual energy that a lot of levels kind of fall flat with and some of the parts of this are incredible in that regard.
