This game is HARD.
Im just going to say that while I am only up to chapter 3, this game feels a lot more chalenging then Portal 2. Admitedly though this is my 1st time playing any fan made content for portal.
What do you guys think about the dificulty level.

I agree it is quite hard, much moreso than Portal 2.

Agreed. I think the rooms are too vague. So much so, I lost interest and uninstalled.

Anyone who gives up doesn't value their own intellegence.

Yup.

The level design is worse so the difficulty factor is higher.

The "Gate Mechanic" is abused to the point you would have to be a saint not to think (sv_cheats_1, noclip). Even though it was obvious "how" to solve them by midgame I freely admit to noclipping around these speed bumps. Yes I get that they were put there to make the game harder but the game would have been just as good or better without 3/4ths of them.

I've noclipped through like 3 test chambers because ♥♥♥♥ em. They're impossibly hard.
I'll spend half an hour to an hour portaling every surface and using all these different items with different things and once that's done I'll just give up and noclip. I want to see what's going on with the story but it's not good that there are literal roadblocks.

They're just actual puzzles, unlike Portal 2's.

It's worth working thru a couple of them just for the satisfaction, but once you beat one chapter you have pretty much beat them all. Have to admit the t-bar beam puzzles were enjoyable.

Hard? Yes, some of them are challanging, but not hard as well as Mevious' map

If you think it's hard, it will only frustrate you more. Take a break, relax, think while on break(but don't stress too much).

I'm up to chapter 4 and so far all of the puzzles are solveable without any crazy timing/aiming. I did solve some with tricks initially but after I was done I noticed there was a way to do it without relying on perfect aim/timing.

Honestly the levels are harder than normal Portal but once you know how to solve it they're all easy to do. At least up till Chapter 4. I really hate it when you see a solution but take forever trying to actually make it work and so far this game hasn't done that.

There could have been moments of pause, easier puzzles to get over the difficult ones and let the brain unfry. Halfway(?) through chapt 3, and as someone who hasn't played community maps, these are hard. I haven't noclipped, but I've looked up solutions for some.

A lot of the puzzles will delibrately throw you off if you over think it. While I enjoyed this mod, the overuse of the funnels got old real quick so it lost some points there.

Unlike Portal 2, these are more like actual puzzles rather than some levels meant to entertain you while telling its story.
