Tornado is one of those levels that are really brought to life due to the sum of all its parts. Every section here has something completely different to offer while keeping itself connected and grounded.

The beginning reminds me of the times when you're walking home, you're about to arrive when you suddenly start to hear thunder above you and it begins raining. The sense of urgency and uncertainty are nailed here. Going into the ruined castle and being able to hear the rain hitting the rooftop and the flashes of lightning through the cracks, the wind coming rushing in when you open the hatch, this is the life I was talking about.

After this it only gets crazier, once the tornado forms and you can see it in the distance, the feeling of urgency turns into fear, since you're swept up and now have to jump between what's left of the ruins, dodging giant rocks flying your way. It's all done beautifully, from a gameplay and a design standpoint. And we can't underrate the importance of sound effects and music, which play a huge part here as well.

    Coming from someone who lives in a state that be getting a decent amount of severe weather and tornadoes (Mississippi), this level is pretty accurate.

    Este nivel si merece ser legendario, la decoración y la forma en que se mueven los objetos es espectacular

    Ahh, the return of AbstractDark. I still remember the level "Formidable Guardians" and it is beautiful.
