Edifice is a semi-new Portal 2 map (my fault for not reviewing in a while, was having game issues) created by Omnicoder. Omnicoder is actually a good friend of mine, so this review is going to be a little hard to do.The map features three main puzzles. The first one actually took me a long time to get right because when Omni makes a puzzle... It's brutal on the brain. The second room is a lot better. It's challenging in that you have to think, but easy enough that you don't constantly screw it up.
Finally, at the third and final puzzle, things get a lot harder. It starts out simple, sure, but the end can really confuse people who don't know what's going on. There's also a small world portal problem that sometimes occurs in the hallway. He uses world portals to make the hallway shorter than it really is so that the player doesn't have to spend too much time. But due to the error, you can sometimes see your whole portals through the walls.
All in all, this was a very good map with really nice puzzles. The only real problem with it is that there's no true "Aha!" moment that gives the player a satisfying result, making it seem not as fun as some other maps.
This map earns itself an 8/10 in my book and I can't wait for a new map by Omnicoder. Maybe one with a unique visual theme...
