"Head Trip. Designed specifically to be hallucinatory this extraordinary level-set
succeeds in pulling that off 100%. It's helped along by some very suitable audio, but it is
the imaginative use of numerous flipmaps that really sent The Last Jade Dragon into
hallucination overdrive; many wtf moments. When I started playing Tomb Raider, many years
ago, I used to dream about the levels I'd just played, and this game felt like one of those
twisted dreams.
Down to the specifics: Gameplay is full of interesting puzzles of various flavours, and
overall it is quite forgiving - you get hints for the puzzles and a bit of slack on the
timed stuff. Atmosphere is awesome, as I've already said, and it is technically of a high
quality - but at the end of the day - it is still TR2 and it has the flat lighting and
flickering textures of TR2. (Actually this was a TR2 level built with TombEditor (go
figure). It is not obvious what contribution TombEditor made here, maybe it allowed for all
those flipmaps, but I don't know.
Overall: a masterpiece - almost. The TR2 engine held it back - a slick TRNG version could
have brought more to the table." - Dick (16-Mar-2023) |

| "Wow what an adventure that was! starting off in a great rocky cavern and canyon area which
reminds me of Nevada from TR3 with great exploring, platforming and even a speedboat timed
run! then onto my favourite type of level: a huge manor/mansion! although this one is very
spooky and creepy with jump scares, great puzzles/tasks, spring pads and traps aplenty!
right up my street! Speaking of jump scares a lot of these are with undead warriors walking
around, monsters or your surroundings abruptly changing in front of your eyes especially the
finale omg! i nearly fell off the sofa! i wont spoil the surprise here haha! I particularly
enjoyed some of the platforming challenges and portrait puzzles and the atmosphere music and
textures were just top notch and deliciously done. The only negatives for me was too many
dark areas needing to light a flare every 5 mins! not fun! and the towards the end the
constant running around the house backtracking started to become quite excessive but wow
yeah an almost perfect level here, so much fun and so much variety in gameplay fantastic!" - John (26-Feb-2023) |

| "I don't like messing with the registry, but so be it. This was a perfect TR2 horror level,
at least from the moment Lara finally reached the mansion on. There was indeed an
atmosphere, and, of course, baddies (a gunfighter Lara included) and even puzzles, including
the back and fro (still interesting and original) paintings puzzle. Most of the level set
wasn't overly complicated, except for the fact that you had to explore quite a bit and have
a sense of where you were and where you'd been, but it did keep you on your toes. I guess
there were a tad too many pitch dark spots, even though at least there were plenty of flares
too. I only found one secret. All in all, clearly recommended." - Jorge22 (17-Feb-2023) |

| "Another high-quality surreal level by Leoc1995. Definitely one of the engine's best. It
consists of 7 levels, some shorter, some longer. We get to explore deserts with oriental
architecture and haunted mansion. The level is very unusual because of how it mixes both
themes. Gameplay is interesting and engaging, as in TR2. Many clever and even innovative
ideas are implemented. Lots of puzzles, enemies, and hallucinations. The hallucinations
are creative and scary; I jumped on my chair several times. The motive with the green guy
appearing out of nowhere and disappearing is an inventive idea. Design-wise, it's very
good. I liked the layout of the mansion and how well constructed it was. I liked the
constant foreshadowing too. Textures are used in a creative way. I have a little remark
towards the lighting; I took one point off because it felt kind of unbalanced at times.
Especially in the mansion, some places were too dark in contrast with the rest of the
room. Besides that, the lighting was okay. The level uses customised enemies and lots of
funny paintings on the wall representing different jokes and memes. It's a nice addition.
As I said, the level uses a few innovative ideas, such as never-seen-before shootable
vases in TR2, enemies with boosted speed, and custom animations. It's really nice to see
some new things in the TR2 engine. I also have another minor point; I believe the first
level could have benefited from some more lush or plants to make it feel more decorated
and less empty. Just a suggestion. All in all, Leoc serves us another mysterious and
horrorish experience with lots of hallucinations, puzzle-solving, and combat. It is
definitely worth playing." - BlackWolfTR (11-Feb-2023) |

"Disliked
- While Fleshdoom has some original content, and essentially turns the house into a puzzle, I still would have preferred a new setting instead of having to explore the same mansion a second time.
- What's up with the pictures referencing critiques on past releases? Just like with any other art form, it's impossible to please everyone; no need to add negative energy into this release because of it.
Neutral
- The lighting has a good sense of dynamics, although I could have done with a lesser quantity of dark areas. (This isn't a large issue due to the high number of flares provided)
Liked
- There are some nice puzzles present throughout, my favorites being the timed bell chime platforms and the clocks.
- There are some neat trap sequences, like the bookcase
- The texturing and architectural design is strong, providing an immersive adventure
- TR2 has a strong disposition for combat and this adventure taps into it well, using both classic and original enemies to chase down Lara.

| "I knew to expect something interesting from Leoc but wow this blew away my expectations and is
by far my favorite trle by him and probably in my top 10 or even top 5 trle's. The pacing here
is amazing especially for a horror game the way it starts out slow with the journey to the
mansion, before the second level drops you into the experience. Pretty much textbook horror
pacing. The levels feel pretty varied, just when a level starts to drag on the next level
starts and does something new and different to keep you interested. I found the general design
pretty good, I never got stuck due to confusing level design. The moments of humor are also
fun, some are more inside jokes not everyone will get while others I'm sure everyone will find
funny/charming. There's a quality here not many trle's can reach where Leoc almost feels like
a director of a movie who's directing your experience. Can't recommend this one enough.
