Portal 2 Blind Playthroughs: Episode 384: Some front page maps
3Recently I felt like checking out what the front page of the Portal 2 workshop had to offer, so I downloaded and played a few of them. This was recorded on Wednesday, August 26, 2020.
Download links, timestamps, and comments on the five maps are below.

This map was okay, though I'm not a big fan of fizzler mazes like this one. It also felt like the second cube was unnecessary, since I could get to the exit right away.

Not sure what the point of a lot of stuff here was. It is quite easy to get the regular cube without needing to fling it, and why was the button for the exit in the way of the laser?

Looks like this was your first ever map...I would recommend reading Fumbly Bumbly's guide to making better puzzles:

and watching Demon Arisen's video series:

Several complaints about this one...the entrance area is WAY too bright, the pistons in the final puzzle were too loud, and the trapping situation in the second-to-last one. All the puzzles were overly simple and not very fun.

A bit of advice: hiding antlines in a map only adds artificial difficulty and is not fun, just annoying to the player. Map was way too big also.
