With how cool the song is + the cool twitter preview + awesome design concepts, I think a there was enough hype where this set could've been super highly rated and popular with the community.
But unfortunately I really don't think its an enjoyable experience to touch this map, and if it was I would've at least expect a few fcs by now given its popularity.
I think a lot of this could probably be attributed to the sliderstreams that are introduced early on, the affect these patterns have on the gameplay experience really kill your mood right at the start here, even if you feel like you're playing these right you're still going to be punished with 100s or an annoying sliderbreak, they really feel like they are placed to fit a shape/structure with relatively low consideration for fun.
A few other odd moments like 01:29:795 - 01:35:716 - 02:19:927 - 02:24:664 - 02:42:032 (1,2,3,1,2) - 02:51:111 (1,2,3) - really just give off the feeling that a lot of the mapping decisions we're made prioritising the design choices over movement. This makes all the choices leading and into the climax logically make sense, but does it matter if everything makes sense if it isn't fun?
Anyways there is also, no purpose in this being cs>4, every movement idea and concept could be properly conveyed with larger circles, which just makes cs 4.8 feel solely for design reasons and compounds every issue above in a negative light.
Sorry if I came across a bit sour, I really like the design and vibe around this whole map and I wish I could enjoy it more. Something just doesn't click for me and felt I needed to get it off my chest.
