Robooto's maps stand as an incredible collection of meandering doodles of map ideas. I say that with no disrespect, as the natural flow of productive creativity is one of the things I cherish the most about the human experience. So with that, I hope there is no perceived hostility when I say that 888, like many of Robooto's maps, eludes every attempt at rationalizing its existence.

888 consists of two conjoined chambers with strange brushwork which evokes industrial lighting and perhaps a jungle gym? An underpass hallway contains headcrab spawners which lazily pepper the map with impressively healthy headcrabs. The map features weapons for aiding in attacking these headcrabs. This goes on forever.

It's hard to say fighting headcrabs with medium-high amounts of health is interesting or can captivate for more than a couple minutes. As a result, I'm afraid there's not much more that I can say about 888 than that- it fails to captivate for long at all.

Overall I'd say skip this map, either for playing with friends or on a server rotation.

Pros:

• Competently lit.
• It delivers on everything the description promised.

Cons:

• Pretty pointless.
• Headcrabs with a bunch of health are really boring enemies to fight.
