Another map that would feel right at home in the Arcane Dimensions start hub. Oxyblack Fortress, while having some pacing issues in the first five or so minutes of gameplay, remains a stunning display of Heresy's skill at making visually coherent, beautifully detailed Quake worlds.

Another map that had an overhaul briefly teased in the Mjölnir trailer, Illusions... boasts some very impressive architecture and Tronyn's trademark horde combat, definitely making the player work to get to that exit slipgate. With health and armor pickups being unusually generous, I would recommend this as a good starting point for someone looking to get into this "grindy" type of map.

One of my favorite bite-sized maps that is just a blast to go through again and again. Going by the channel archive on the QM Discord, the time allotted to make a map for SM210 was 4 days, which makes both the smooth gameplay as well as the level of detail and eye-candy in this map seriously impressive.
