[Re-Usable] Soniku11 Coop Pack 9.4

I enjoyed this pack after making a video about it. Overall, it’s a very solid pack.
Of course, there are some nuances that could use improvement. For example, Pacific Travel didn’t really click with me: I understand the idea behind it, but personally the zone felt a bit too long and somewhat empty in places (I get why it’s designed that way, but adding more details like rings or small elements wouldn’t hurt).
That said, the pack turned out to be interesting and has a nice, vibey atmosphere at the same time. There’s definitely room to grow, which is a good thing. 4 out of 5 - well deserved.

I'm giving it 4 stars because this map collection doesn't suffer from the problems of many modern level packs, specifically texture and object scaling, slope spam (in fact, there are almost no slopes, and this is better than using them the way most modern mappers use them), and inadequate room widths. However, it does have some drawbacks. I won't list them all, but I'll highlight what I consider to be the most important one: the linearity of the maps. The maps are too linear; the author should learn to create more intersecting paths.

my review got deleted :sob: brotosynthesis does NOT take criticism

⭐☆☆☆☆ — Disappointing and Uninspired Map Pack
As a self-proclaimed Rayman fan, I really wanted to enjoy this map pack by Soniku11, but unfortunately it fell very short of my expectations.

First of all, the level design feels strange and inconsistent. Instead of flowing naturally, many sections feel awkward, poorly connected, or confusing, which constantly breaks the immersion. Exploration never feels rewarding because the layouts do not guide the player in an intuitive or satisfying way.

The music selection also does not fit the stages at all. Rather than enhancing the atmosphere, it clashes with the environments and often feels randomly chosen, making the experience feel unfocused and messy.

Another major issue is the unfair difficulty. The challenge is not based on skill, but on unexpected hazards, unclear paths, and punishing enemy placement. This makes the game frustrating instead of fun, especially for players who just want to enjoy a creative platforming experience.
Most disappointing of all, the pack has no real similarity to Rayman despite what I was hoping for. It doesn’t capture Rayman’s charm, creativity, colorful world design, or playful tone. In the end, it doesn’t bring anything fresh or enjoyable to SRB2.

I appreciate the effort that went into creating this, but in its current state, this map pack feels unfocused, frustrating, and lacking a clear identity. Sadly, I cannot recommend it.

Honestly the only zone that had good gameplay was Industrial Volcano

Everything else was mediocre

Sometimes the music choices are just bad

And the bosses do not deserve golden item boxes
it just makes it less of a challenge
