Lesser known challenging maps?
Quote from link_36p on July 23, 2013, 2:40 amHey Portal 2 community. I recently discovered the great maps available in the steam workshop for portal, and have played through around 40 of the top rated single player and coop maps. The challenge of the puzzles begins to decrease dramatically unfortunately.
Are there any lesser known Portal 2 puzzles that offer good challenges?
My favorite maps creators I have played so far have been Mevious, Mr. Late, and Zivi7, more like these world be awesome!

Quote from srs bsnss on July 23, 2013, 3:08 amGoose, Gig and Azorae are all great puzzlemakers. I suggest having a look at their stuff.
Also, browsing through the Downloads category here at TWP should yield some good results.

Quote from Mevious on July 23, 2013, 3:22 pmThe three that srs bsnss mentioned are some of my favorites too. There are tons of other great authors to check out. There's a big variety of authors here, so you might like some and not others.
srs bsnss himself.
Juggler
camerson1313 has a shit ton.
AD_79 (link might change because he uses a dumb id)
Near and Lawliet, the Death Note duo
ColorCubeMan
BEN 77
Lpfreaky90
Motanum
toncica
Barbos
JottaIf you're looking for an extra challenge, try these authors. They are usually too pro for me to figure out.
josepezdj
chander
marKiuPeople often complain that the workshop is full of crappy maps, but those people simply don't know how to find the good ones. "How do you do it" you ask, well you already have a big list of authors, and many of those authors have favorites. Play the favorites. Let others (people whose opinions you trust) discover great maps for you! For example, you mentioned liking my maps, if you look at my favorites page you'll see probably at least one map from every author I mentioned above. Many of those authors have their own favorites list (be wary of those who favorite their own maps), which you can follow and so on. You won't run out anytime soon.

I was about to, thank Mev in first place for mentioning me, but I honestly doesn't deserve to be mentioned right there beside Chander and Marc, ... Grey does instead
I wanted secondly to deeply recommend Grey's maps. I admire him since the very beginning I tested out a map made by him. One of my favourite maps of all times is Hard Light... I enjoyed like hell solving that monster! You will discover soon that he has the impressive ability to make so clever and so twisted maps into a fuc***n' reduced space! >.< he's simply impressive, and ALL of his maps.
Chander and Markiu are my favourites too for long time altogether with HWM, Mevious, and recently Toncica.

Quote from Gemarakup on July 24, 2013, 8:22 amHow I wish original Portal maps were in Portal 2. (Especially manic mechanic, TA2, lost chamber zero and afterburn).

Quote from link_36p on July 24, 2013, 9:21 amWow thanks guys! Exactly what I was looking for, should keep me busy for awhile ^_^. Never considered Mevious's idea of looking at favorites.

Quote from Gemarakup on January 29, 2014, 2:22 pmI've played this map a while ago already, but unfortunately, it never got noticed on the front page.
You might not believe me, but this map is one of the most fun maps with lasers. Once you play it, you'll understand.
