      Pros:

      ~~~Overall~~~
      -Fun, unique forest map.
      -Extremely dark, creepy atmosphere
      -Amazing detail 
      -Beautiful design and layout
      

      Cons:

      ~~~Overall~~~ 
      -Maybe a bit too dark inside the cave
      -All of the AI fell to their deaths on the bridges, leaving me all by myself through the rest of the map. 

      Conclusion:

      I know the map says closed, so it probably will never be finished, but the amazing design is still worth a download for the first map. Play it with friends, or by yourself for more of a challenge because all of the AI die. Too bad it won't be finished.

      Pros:

      - This is probably one of the best 'wild nature' campaigns ever added to l4dmaps.com.
      - Everything as far as the .vpk goes works correctly, no errors in the loading poster or add-on image.
      - Everything looks great, as far as details, variety, and excellence goes.
      - Good amount of supplies and weapon selection. The only thing I might change or fix, is to add more ammo, I found myself running out all the time even when I was trying to save ammo.
      - Displacements are designed and formed very well, seamless in almost every area.
      - I didn't come across any spots in the map that gave me lagg, everything seemed optimized correctly.

      Cons:

      - It's very easy to get lost if you are not paying attention, I think the signs and hints could have been made a bit easier to realize and spot. I would leave the woods as is though.
      - When I was at the rope bridge crossing in one of the later maps, Louis and Zoey both fell off with no warning and died, which I think something could be done with that in the navigation mesh to make sure bots don't fall, but I'm not sure.
      - Caves were good, but the textures are pretty funky... but I know that happens when you try to make caves and form oddly shaped displacements, so no worries.

      Conclusion:

      - I just want to personally thank you and tell how much I enjoyed playing this campaign haha. through the whole campaign I felt like I was in a movie, it reminded me of Friday the 13th aha. The woods were great, I always like a good, outdoor, dark campaign every now and again, its a good theme for a zombie game. This is supreme material for a beta, I must say, I don't know why bazrael gave it a 65. Only thing I might recommend, is making the attic of the house accessible, and maybe put some supplies up there (ammo would be a good idea). Other then that, its golden. Great work, and I am recommending this to all my buddies, haven't seen something this good in a while.

      Spooky atmosphere
      Requires real thought to figure out where to go
      

      Cons:

      Too easy to fall to your death in some areas

      Conclusion:

      Highly recommended, and hopefully not the last map we see from the creator.

      6.5

      Pros:

      cellar atmosphere is great.

      Cons:

      Too less ammo pile.
      
      Trees, trees, trees... stay in the woods long time make player feel annoyed, especially there is no obvious directional indication in this map.
      
      Dark Cave may offer a little light, it make players have better sight to fight hordes.

      Conclusion:

      Before I arrived at the wood suspension bridge with more light, actually I would like leave the game and delete this map right now. Long period of time staying in the woods that doesn't feel horrible but feel annoyed.
      Carefully moving on in the dark woods make ammo run out quickly, and there was no supply when I found out first house with an attic which I couldn't climb up.

      This review was posted before the latest release.

End of results.
