Cool news - I'm back at Eurogamer to help out over the Switch 2 launch! One of my first assignments is delving into why Kamek is such a bastard who never gives you what you want.

My name is Max, and I've been making game maps for a few years now! My gallery of 800+ maps is available on DeviantArt and GDrive, but I also have breakdown videos on YT and prints on Etsy. Links and previews in the thread below if you are curious! DMs, questions and feedback are welcome. Enjoy! 🧵
