One of the highlights of Xenome (first part).
Awesome inside structures with pathway bordering on ingeniosity. Gameplay may seem slightly off-balance but taking the careful approach, making sure a retreat path is identfied will get you you out of trouble. Is it by design or an oversight but the large doors closing which can only be opened by the player make the fights against the large Skaar fairly easy (otherwise they would be challenging). Overall enemy placement is good, sometimes surprising but never unfair.
IIRC there is one instant death bug after talking a lift and going too near to a broken path (which has to be jumped), so save when leaving the lift.
A couple of nice and short cinematic sequences in this map which show the way to progress.
It's been a long time since I've played Xenome and just thinking about it makes me want to replay.

This might be my second favourite Xenome map after Sour Water. The visuals pull off being in the most dilapidated depths of the complex, and there's a lot of interesting interlinking between the main areas; especially the large room with the road going through it. The progression provides various interactions with the environment too (especially with the sequence at the start of the next level). You also have enough equipment at this point that combat isn't too frustrating, and the big fight in the "hive" room provides a nice climax before the semi-unorthodox final map.
