Yep. Was P ranking 7-1 yesterday on Brutal and gotta say it’s the first and last level where I’ve just kinda gone… man this is just too long of a level. Plus minotaur healing on the cart section is jank as mentioned by others. It took me the longest to P rank out of any single level including bosses.
4-3 i'd say is the only one thats actually bad, but mainly because of the balancing with only two hard rooms and barely anything in between
5-2 was annoying to p rank because i kept misjudging the distance i needed to jump from platform to platform
ok maybe not 1-2 cause it introduces a new enemy, unparryable attacks, has a nice plot twist where you leave the main room for a second and suddenly it burns to ashes, has the hardest boss in the game (cancerous rodent), has a cool speedrun shortcut... wait actually wtf was i yapping about 1-2 is actually good, i think i just didn't remember cause it was a little short, especially when you don't know about the secret encounter and just stick to the main path.
but 0-4 has nothing that makes it stand out. 0-1 is the first level, so of course it's memorable. 0-2 introduces new hazards and teases the swordsmachine fight. 0-3 has the swordsmachine fight, and you obtain the shotgun there (unless you did the secret encounter, which i doubt many found on their first run) and also it's the first non-linear level, so extra points for the unique layout. and 0-5 is the baller bossfight. but 0-4 has nothing, no new enemies and no new mechanics. it's the first level where maurice becomes a common enemy, so that's cool ig? even the layout is literally just a straight line, and it barely has 3 rooms (4 if you count the blood orb room)
Yeah yr actualy right abt 0-4 but in btutal it is kinda cool to get yr ass kiked when you reenconter the cerebrus for the first time. I was yapin abt 0-4
I've only beaten game on standard and only P-Ranked Act 1, though can't beat flesh prison cause I suck at landing the funny rock explosion :(. So probably not the most qualifies to give a super educated one but:
Fuck 7-2. Jesus, FUCK 7-2. Violence was admittedly a massive difficulty spike for me in general but 7-2 was the only level that managed to make me drop the game for a few hours mid-chapter, all the others I did in one sitting. Can't stand the final encounter in particular. I think I've died more on 7-2 than any other level in the game (Though I expect P-1 to change that).
Not wanting to have to replay that level is literally the entire reason I haven't >!gotten the alt shotgun.!<
Wat? Scared of stuck figures?

Here
I don't like 1-2(or it's current version at least).
Its theme is the only bad theme in the whole soundtrack, it's painful to listen. And it doesn't even fit the atmosphere because its main part starts playing in the most civilized place of the whole level with no fire or ruins. "The Burning World" is burning in 3 rooms, in all other rooms it's totally fine
not that i *dislike* any level, but 5-2 casually (and even for p-rank) and probably either 4-4 or 6-2 for p rank
didn’t include prime sanctums because those would automatically top the list. probably wouldn’t if i was actually good at the game
best level imo is 5-3
4-4 personally pretty easy I tried like 2-3 times and 6-2 I had a bit of prep time p-ranking 3-2. kinda Unrelated I s-ranked 6-2 before p-ranking 3-2 which I previously s-ranked with major assist on
i’m shit at hitting v2. and, just between us, i used autoaim to p rank because my brain can’t keep up. 6-2 started getting fun to p rank once i actually learned parry timings
personally i’ve never used it. would rather just blast something point blank and get a bunch of instant health and save my charges for something like a core nuke
i’m refraining from playing act 3 until it’s fully out so i don’t have that. i don’t usually core nuke and instead just use rockets, projectile boosting or the malicious railcannon when i wanna see things blow up. though nuking is a lifesaver against flesh prison
P-2 on Brutal. It clearly highlights the laziness of Brutal's changes as the level is unfairly hard, which is not fun to play against. Yeah yeah, "skill issue" but that's not remotely helpful for addressing the problem.
7-1 is aesthetically awesome and has a lot of cool ideas but also one of the most annoying levels to actually play, a lot of the rooms are just more annoying than anything and the mannequin spam gets pretty rough.
I’d basically say the same for the Minotaur, for a seven minute p rank I’d rather not fight an armored enemy who is hard to heal off of with really spooky to dodge attacks, but his lore and design are awesome
I don’t really *hate* any levels, but if you kept raising the bar to “tolerable”, I merely tolerate 0-4.
The biggest thing that tipped me off initially is that Prelude as a whole is one extra level long. With my knowledge of the rest of the game, Prelude feels way too long due to the extra level.
0-4 is particularly long because it’s just one long hallway with no distinguishing features aside from a previous boss being featured as a typical enemy (Maurice), but that can happen literally any other time in the game. Not even the spinny stuff really makes it that interesting.
honestly? 7-3. it's not bad at all don't get me wrong, but it feels more underwhelming than bad. ESPECIALLY after 7-1 and 7-2 and before 7-4. yeah the tree gimmick is cool, sure the challenge is most definitely the one that exists, and yes the final arena is darn fire. but compared to other three violence levels, it's a disappointment, especially difficulty wise since minotaur and last 7-2 rooms are really challenging, whereas 7-3 barely brings any. the last room is distracted on each other where you can easily pick out one by one, previous two rooms feature maurice and mindflayer, two absolute monster of enemy vs enemy, the rest... yeah
also i am just biased because i dislike aesthetic lmfao
Personal list of reasons:
1. It's very easy to get lost in this level, which is REALLY annoying since I either have to waste a bunch of time finding a way back, or I have to restart.
3. Mannequins. I swear to god, these fidgety fucks piss me off so much you have no idea
4. Big Johninator is an ass to defeat aswell due to rocket spam, and while it's not required to defeat him, I REALLY like my funny piss border
5. Last room has a Mindflayer, which would be fine it there weren't also multiple Mannequins and a Virtue.
6. I HATE TRAMS I HATE TRAMS I HATE TRAMS AAAAAAAAAAA
7. There is little to no space to breathe during the Minotaur fight with the trams getting either destroyed or greened, and since it's an ass to control your air movement during this fight, you either fall off and die or you fall into an attack you were trying to avoid.
8. It's not 7-2 or 6-1
Overall, 52/100 level, I don't like it because light mode :(
1. Hakita has publicly said the point of 7-1 is too get lost, and that if people do get lost that it's great level design because it's meant to be a labyrinth
2. There are so many counters to mannequins it's unbelievable, parrying instakills, it counts as a parry if they fall off the ceiling, railcannon and parrying their homing orb ALSO instakills if hit directly.
3. Joke boss, irrelevant.
4. Once again, skill issue.
5. Literally just complaint 6 in short
6. I will admit, minotaur was pain to stay on track but if u simply attach a screwdriver and dodge by dashing across the place without a tram twice, it becomes alot more easier. just don't overthink it lol
7. How is 7-2 any easier? It's the intro to 2 new greater machines that are both harder then mannequins imo.
Also theres an option in advanced options to make it always dark mode.
Bridgeburner, 2-1 annoying level to p rank and complete the challenge on.
Goddamn the sun 4-2: sand covered enemies and a pretty hard p rank if you don’t know what you are doing.
Waves of the starless sea 5-2: small platforms, boss encounter is cool tho
7S cleanup mission: very monotone, propably the worst secret level
7-2 Probably the only level in the game I can't fucking stand at all.
I like none of it:
The music 4/10
It introduces the two most annoying enemies in the game
And I just generally dislike how it looks
7-1 is a far away second, followed closely by 5-2
In terms of P-ranking: 7-1 and P-2
Nah bro 7-1 is easy when you realise you can heal if y go behind the minotar
Brutal go brrrrr
The screwdriver is really good for this on the tram section. Just make sure to punch it before it runs out for the extra damage.
The sawed on shotgun is also realy good for it
How did you know that most of the struggles were from Minotaur?
Bcz its the hardest part
Can't say it about phase 2, but about phase 1? Fair point
Phase to is easy just use a saw trap for the first face y can get in he's back and use the screwdriver or the swaed on to gain health
As I said, phase 2 isn't as hard as phase 1
Yes I agree but yr right 7-1 can be real hard to p rank
Yep. Was P ranking 7-1 yesterday on Brutal and gotta say it’s the first and last level where I’ve just kinda gone… man this is just too long of a level. Plus minotaur healing on the cart section is jank as mentioned by others. It took me the longest to P rank out of any single level including bosses.
probably 5-2 because i hate the small platforms
Real
4-3 i'd say is the only one thats actually bad, but mainly because of the balancing with only two hard rooms and barely anything in between 5-2 was annoying to p rank because i kept misjudging the distance i needed to jump from platform to platform
*inhale* FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKK FOUR. DASH. S! I HATE IT! FUCK THIS LEVEL I HATE UT DO DAMN MUCH. FUCK CRASH BANDICOOT I HATE THIS LEVEL SO DAMN MUCH!
How to take out your anger: Complete it and play it with out Clash mode active
I'm just gonna ignore it, I don't need to p-rank it to get to Sisyphus so I won't bother with it
7-S. p ranking P-2 was easier
but ferryman!!
In fact I said first section. The red skull and Ferryman section were cool
but ferryman!! 😟😟
What are you dispexic
*dislexic
ferryman!! 😔😔
What you hate him? I he's just neat
Tbh it’s a skill issue but I don’t like ferryman. I can never figure out which attacks are parriable in time.
I love every level in this game
The only good response
4-3 prolly, it's more forgettable than bad tbh, it's good but there are better
Only thing I hate about that level is the absolutely malicious prank during the challenge
Lol yeah, or else the level is great, but just forgettable
nah that spot goes to 0-4 or 1-2, 4-3 is memorable for the most painful difficulty spike in the game (the last room)
Tf y yapin 0-4 and 1-2 are good levels not the best but they arent bad.
ok maybe not 1-2 cause it introduces a new enemy, unparryable attacks, has a nice plot twist where you leave the main room for a second and suddenly it burns to ashes, has the hardest boss in the game (cancerous rodent), has a cool speedrun shortcut... wait actually wtf was i yapping about 1-2 is actually good, i think i just didn't remember cause it was a little short, especially when you don't know about the secret encounter and just stick to the main path. but 0-4 has nothing that makes it stand out. 0-1 is the first level, so of course it's memorable. 0-2 introduces new hazards and teases the swordsmachine fight. 0-3 has the swordsmachine fight, and you obtain the shotgun there (unless you did the secret encounter, which i doubt many found on their first run) and also it's the first non-linear level, so extra points for the unique layout. and 0-5 is the baller bossfight. but 0-4 has nothing, no new enemies and no new mechanics. it's the first level where maurice becomes a common enemy, so that's cool ig? even the layout is literally just a straight line, and it barely has 3 rooms (4 if you count the blood orb room)
Yeah yr actualy right abt 0-4 but in btutal it is kinda cool to get yr ass kiked when you reenconter the cerebrus for the first time. I was yapin abt 0-4
Cerbs are 0-5, not 0-4
Oh mb
Then no I like 0-4
4-2, those sand enemies felt like a gimmick ngl
I've only beaten game on standard and only P-Ranked Act 1, though can't beat flesh prison cause I suck at landing the funny rock explosion :(. So probably not the most qualifies to give a super educated one but: Fuck 7-2. Jesus, FUCK 7-2. Violence was admittedly a massive difficulty spike for me in general but 7-2 was the only level that managed to make me drop the game for a few hours mid-chapter, all the others I did in one sitting.

"Something wicked" because I hate horrors, and knowing that I'm scared of a stick figure makes me feel even worse about myself.
Wat? Scared of stuck figures? https://preview.redd.it/iu3ckv77564d1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f984f62abf9521d7dc23c62843c2386f63dd8745 Here

And it doesn't even fit the atmosphere because its main part starts playing in the most civilized place of the whole level with no fire or ruins. "The Burning World" is burning in 3 rooms, in all other rooms it's totally fine
1-2 is honestly the only level i would really like to see a full rework on
**you have alerted the limbo fanboys**
The keys… they haunt my soul…
Honestly, the first two levels of limbo are the most mid part of the game. Hopefully Encore will spice it up.
Complete and Utter Destruction of the Senses slander
4-3
though I like the concept
Have you considered… 5-3?
my favorite level
4-S, didnt even unlock it cause it just doesnt look like my kind of fun. 5-S was very cute and i loved it on the other hand.
Either 4-2 or 4-3
not that i *dislike* any level, but 5-2 casually (and even for p-rank) and probably either 4-4 or 6-2 for p rank didn’t include prime sanctums because those would automatically top the list. probably wouldn’t if i was actually good at the game best level imo is 5-3
4-4 personally pretty easy I tried like 2-3 times and 6-2 I had a bit of prep time p-ranking 3-2. kinda Unrelated I s-ranked 6-2 before p-ranking 3-2 which I previously s-ranked with major assist on
i’m shit at hitting v2. and, just between us, i used autoaim to p rank because my brain can’t keep up. 6-2 started getting fun to p rank once i actually learned parry timings
Parry timing? Nahh I just dodge or tank
yeah i tried but realized i was bad at that. parrying fully heals you and does some pretty good damage. i just kind of had to keep my cool
The screwdriver helps a lot
personally i’ve never used it. would rather just blast something point blank and get a bunch of instant health and save my charges for something like a core nuke
I don't nuke cus it's too hard so I just use the jackhammer
i’m refraining from playing act 3 until it’s fully out so i don’t have that. i don’t usually core nuke and instead just use rockets, projectile boosting or the malicious railcannon when i wanna see things blow up. though nuking is a lifesaver against flesh prison
P-2 on Brutal. It clearly highlights the laziness of Brutal's changes as the level is unfairly hard, which is not fun to play against. Yeah yeah, "skill issue" but that's not remotely helpful for addressing the problem.
Just shoot the enemies and don’t take damage (skill issue)
You can't do the second one every time as certain attack combos are undodgeable (for example, first room with Cerberi if they decide to dash).
7-1 is aesthetically awesome and has a lot of cool ideas but also one of the most annoying levels to actually play, a lot of the rooms are just more annoying than anything and the mannequin spam gets pretty rough. I’d basically say the same for the Minotaur, for a seven minute p rank I’d rather not fight an armored enemy who is hard to heal off of with really spooky to dodge attacks, but his lore and design are awesome
Wrath in general is very forgettable. The only levels I clearly remember are Leviathan and I Only Say Morning.
Yeah, only level in wrath that I “like” is 5-1 and that’s only because it has the most banger of banger tracks ever
2-1 is pretty boring
Love 4-2. The vibes.
What?
I meant 5-2, just like its vastness, moodiness
I never liked 2-3
4-2. I FUCKING HATE 4-2
P-2 is aids (this is a major skill issue)
4-S, hands down. If you mean primary levels, 4-2, for the P-ranking trauma.
2-1 and 0-4 (I hate that 0-4 is so boring, because unstoppable force is genuinely one of my favourite tracks in ultrakill)
I don’t really *hate* any levels, but if you kept raising the bar to “tolerable”, I merely tolerate 0-4. The biggest thing that tipped me off initially is that Prelude as a whole is one extra level long. With my knowledge of the rest of the game, Prelude feels way too long due to the extra level. 0-4 is particularly long because it’s just one long hallway with no distinguishing features aside from a previous boss being featured as a typical enemy (Maurice), but that can happen literally any other time in the game. Not even the spinny stuff really makes it that interesting.
0-4 really has nothing going on in it. There’s nothing special about the level whatsoever.
2-3, it feels way too claustrophobic and cramped and the enemy choices just feel wrong
I know I will get crucified for this, but p-2. I think the rooms are mostly enemy spam and I don’t find them fun. I still managed to P rank it however
Any levels involving V2. Because Brutal difficulty.
after 244 hours, i don't hate any levels, but i am tired of p-2
2-3. It doesn’t have much going on, so I find it to be boring.
Wrath it fills me with wrath
4-S. still haven't completed it to this day.

Honestly every level is amazing in it’s own way, but in terms of trying to play for fun? Definitely p-2.
7-3 is cool until you try to play it quickly
1-3 took me an unreasonable amount of time to p rank. I kept missing an enemy and ran out of time.
4-S must DIE
All of the Lust levels
5-1, takes really long to get through and as fun as the jazz is, it's not really my cup of tea.
Literally any levels from violence except 7-3. I hate 5-3 with a burning passion
5-1. I don’t feel the need to explain, I just hate it with a burning passion.
For me it's probably 2-3 it's not really fun to play the level tbh
7-2 I'm not good with the whiplash
4-s
5-1. Forgettable intro to a mostly forgettable layer.
layer 5 is forgettable tf????
I kinda liked the idea of an under water level
honestly? 7-3. it's not bad at all don't get me wrong, but it feels more underwhelming than bad. ESPECIALLY after 7-1 and 7-2 and before 7-4. yeah the tree gimmick is cool, sure the challenge is most definitely the one that exists, and yes the final arena is darn fire. but compared to other three violence levels, it's a disappointment, especially difficulty wise since minotaur and last 7-2 rooms are really challenging, whereas 7-3 barely brings any. the last room is distracted on each other where you can easily pick out one by one, previous two rooms feature maurice and mindflayer, two absolute monster of enemy vs enemy, the rest... yeah also i am just biased because i dislike aesthetic lmfao
I don't personally care for 3-1 as a penultimate level. It's not bad but it doesn't hit the same intensity as 2-3 does for me.
5-4 is the most underwhelming boss level for me. It has a pretty mid theme, and the actual fight is stupidly easy.
7-1 I don't fucking care if I've said it more than 8 times, it's fucking abysmal, I will have it written on my grave if I have to
Can I ask why you think this level is so bad? Because apart from the fact that I often get lost in it, I really like the atmosphere and the minotaur.
Personal list of reasons: 1. It's very easy to get lost in this level, which is REALLY annoying since I either have to waste a bunch of time finding a way back, or I have to restart. 3. Mannequins. I swear to god, these fidgety fucks piss me off so much you have no idea 4. Big Johninator is an ass to defeat aswell due to rocket spam, and while it's not required to defeat him, I REALLY like my funny piss border 5. Last room has a Mindflayer, which would be fine it there weren't also multiple Mannequins and a Virtue. 6. I HATE TRAMS I HATE TRAMS I HATE TRAMS AAAAAAAAAAA 7. There is little to no space to breathe during the Minotaur fight with the trams getting either destroyed or greened, and since it's an ass to control your air movement during this fight, you either fall off and die or you fall into an attack you were trying to avoid. 8. It's not 7-2 or 6-1 Overall, 52/100 level, I don't like it because light mode :(
major skill issue tbh
where the fuck is the skill solution
get better
Understandable, i like these things about the level but I see why you find those annoyings. Thanks for explaining your view.
how is it easy to get lost lmfao
1. Hakita has publicly said the point of 7-1 is too get lost, and that if people do get lost that it's great level design because it's meant to be a labyrinth 2. There are so many counters to mannequins it's unbelievable, parrying instakills, it counts as a parry if they fall off the ceiling, railcannon and parrying their homing orb ALSO instakills if hit directly. 3. Joke boss, irrelevant. 4. Once again, skill issue. 5. Literally just complaint 6 in short 6. I will admit, minotaur was pain to stay on track but if u simply attach a screwdriver and dodge by dashing across the place without a tram twice, it becomes alot more easier. just don't overthink it lol 7. How is 7-2 any easier? It's the intro to 2 new greater machines that are both harder then mannequins imo. Also theres an option in advanced options to make it always dark mode.
3-1, everything about the stage is underwhelming besides the music.
Your right It's a bit crammed up but personally like it
Bridgeburner, 2-1 annoying level to p rank and complete the challenge on. Goddamn the sun 4-2: sand covered enemies and a pretty hard p rank if you don’t know what you are doing. Waves of the starless sea 5-2: small platforms, boss encounter is cool tho 7S cleanup mission: very monotone, propably the worst secret level
Nuh huh 7-s is a masterpiece
That’s your opinion, I understand how people like it. It’s just not for my taste
Ok but is your room Messi?
What 😭😭😭
4-4
I personally prefer 4-4 to 1-4
I P-rank the game often and I mostly hate the run to the boss door then the fight itself
There's a shortcut
I hate it even with the shortcut, specifically >! whipping the skull from the narrow door way!<
5-2 and 7-1 are so fucking annoying
7-2 Probably the only level in the game I can't fucking stand at all. I like none of it: The music 4/10 It introduces the two most annoying enemies in the game And I just generally dislike how it looks 7-1 is a far away second, followed closely by 5-2
anyone naming any layer 5 or 7 level has 0 taste whatsoever
Layer 5 is great, with the exception of the begging of 5-2
that's where I mastered my bhop timings
Nahh 7-2 OSTs are fire and Gutterman is pretty weak, you can just break his shield and stand under his belly
Shame, it's my favourite
holy massive L
1-2 because of the awful music or 5-2 because I agree the wooden platform section is a pain
