To me also it's actually a 7.5-7.75/not a straight 8 due to the slightly repetitive level design/assets/secrets approach and no surprises/unique situations of any kind but still a clear step forward (not least in overall conciseness) from Into the Dark Forest Rem. where some parts of the map were just entirely redundant run-throughs (and there's again no shortcut of any kind to get back to the start once all is done but this time it's at least less gross given the slightly more manageable mis...
