Impressive puzzle, more enjoyable with friends, especially in team of 4
This map took us more than 2 hours to play. Please be prepared as it can easily takes up to 3 hours if you're stuck with certain puzzle. The initial part is pretty weak and frustrating as you have to figure out and find things in the dark. It is more enjoyable once you got the light on. There are optional objective (the 3 medals and jades), which is quite interesting. Note that the first aid kit in that one room can be used infinitely, it just has a cooldown timer. I recommend playing this map with friends, unless you're a very big fan of puzzles.

Longer than expected
The map was longer than what I expected. First playthrough took me around 2 hours with bots to figure out the puzzle. I really like the puzzles and it makes sense to me, given how I used to play the really old Tomb Raider (i forgot which one, but its the one with the manor) and I knew I had to play this. Second playthrough for me was just more on trying to complete the other things or see if I missed out anything, though I still can't find the 4th and 6th green dragon for the other door. Walked everywhere but to no avail. Heath supplies, weapons, ammo piles, grenades etc is well balanced. Only problem I really had was just FPS drops from time to time but other than that would say is a good map. (still finding the 4th and 6th green dragon xD)

Could you tell me where to find all the Jade Dragons? There's only one left for me and I can not find it. Would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you for your review. It's really appreciated and I admire your determination to finish completely The Manor. The desire to restart the map several times to find all the little details is very strong for determined players. Jade stones are very hard, I admit, but I hope that the difficulty is well rewarded! I thought a lot about the distribution of all the elements to find a certain balance. Glad you've reported it like that. The map is very heavy so the falling fps are understandable especially because of the light of the thunder but according to the computer, the mood of the game or the alignment of the planets, it is stable I think. GG for the game and thank you again :)

Finally found all the green dragons and must say, really liked the tweak to the ending cutscene. Though one of the dragon was harder for me to find since I never expected it to be there (i thought it was blocked)

Impressive Depth. Battle Of Attrition.
Wow. That was way longer than I was expecting. There are so many steps before escape. Took me 3 hours with bots. Probably the longest single map I've encountered for this game. I was really impressed by the depth of the level design and how everything kind of tied together. This is all about how long you can last (and puzzle solving). You can go back to specific locations periodically to get more health and ammo, but I can see this being a real challenge with 4 players even on Normal just because of how long you have to last, the constant hordes applying pressure, how scarce items can be at times, and how easy it would be for everyone to drift apart and get picked off. There were one or two parts that could be extra frustrating because they're well into the map and could potentially kill all 4 players at once, but they weren't hidden insta-kill situations and if people are paying attention it can be avoided. It can also be a bit annoying finding all the jade jewels, as they are small and in rather obscure locations. From what I could tell, I could finish the map without finding them, but chose to go back and find them and what they unlock makes it look like there's more than 1 ending available and I definitely recommend finding all the jade jewels if that's the case, because the ending I got was pretty impressive. I never figured out the piano thing. Only found 2 clues for it, but figured I could crack the combo since I knew 2 in the pattern of 4, but nothing I tried worked. So not sure about that. Only actual issue I found was that the escape vehicle was invisible. I'm only taking 1 star off simply because I think a lot of people will never finish this due to the length and difficulty. But if you took anything out or simplified anything, it wouldn't be what it was. It's great that stuff this comprehensive is still being released for this game. If you're playing with humans, make sure you've got people that are dedicated and aren't going to screw around and get themselves killed. Make sure at least one player holds on to a defib. Don't all go into a new room at the same time if it looks sketchy. And play to last. This is a marathon. Great work.

End of results.

Actually 8.5/10 points, but still one of the best puzzle solving campaign I ever played
