REVIEW: Old Faithful

Old Faithful is another map created by Flobster for Portal 2. Just like his other map, Sphere of Roundness, this map was amazing.

Old Faithful starts where Sphere of Roundness (SoR) left off. But now you're in a new enrichment sphere dedicated to aerial faith plates. But not normal aerial faith plates. Old-school faith plates, thus the name Old Faithful.

The map starts off simple, you step on a faith plate and the test starts. You solve some simple tests and soon you're in more advanced faith plate chambers. One of the tests requires some fast portalling to get yourself to another room, then more fast portalling to get a cube to where you are.

The map ends with a simple launch-into-the-air-and-grab-a-box-before-it-goes-back-down puzzle and you put the box on a button at the beginning of the puzzle and you're done.

Overall, the map was just great. Neat puzzles, neat ideas, and just fun to play. Flobster should really consider submitting this to the Portal 2 mapping contest happening at the moment. Anyway, Old Faithful gets the first 10/10 on my blog.
