Marathon 2 - The Goo, the Bad, and the Ugly - Total Carnage Playthrough - beginning to end

Really well-made long level

I agree except that there are multiple needless soft-locks. Of course, that may not have been so bad if I could save and launch from a saved game in Marathon Film Recordings. :3

@@Adminn_1_ov_NEFX What is a soft-lock?

[@Adminn_1_ov_NEFX]

@ A soft-lock is basically when a game makes it impossible to proceed and doesn’t outright tell you. You don’t technically lose, die, or get any sort of “game over”, but there’s no way forward, and it sometimes can take a while to even realize this. In this case, there are at least two empty pits you can’t get out of and a couple platforms that only work once, meaning you can accidentally block off crucial sections of the map to yourself if you make a minor slip-up.
