I think it's ok first mission. Slapdash, very unpolished and with too steep loot requirement and - occasionally - dream logic of progression, yet… I spent 1 hour playing it and somehow slightly liking what I've seen. It was sometimes juvenile and funny but sometimes in a good way. I don't want to be too harsh on it.

I'll tell one story. One day in the past I finished T2 FM Tough Night (made by another newcomer as you can remember) and it evoked the same feelings as what you described in ...

City mission revolving around uneasy relations between two thieves’gangs in city of Thrax, Venomous Ambition from the very first minutes makes it clear that there would not be easy ride. The tone of this mission is darker and more “low-key” than usual. You are playing not as Garrett but as member of thieves gang The Nighthawks operating in city ...

Premise of The Death of Garrett is simple: your partner - simply named Bok - betrayed you and left you dying in some cave complex. Your task is to get out and bring revenge upon Bok's head. That's all what you need to know right now.

The mission itself is divided into two main parts - the caves and the mansion. It's not big (you can finish i...

Indeed there is no honor among thieves. Here you are tasked to steal already stolen important document from another thief that is hiding in small hotel Clair-de-Lune.

The hotel itself is small but surprisingly detailed with hidden ways inside it. The mission is difficult in reasonable way: the hotel is well lit and you should watch for shad...

This mission now remains almost forgotten. But in the past Flakebridge Monastery - along with Alberic's Curse - was the fine representative of RttC-style TDM missions. Recently I revisited Flakebridge and while it's not aged well in some aspects, it still provided me with 1 h 30 min of pleasure.

The setup of Flakebridge Monastery is not ver...

Mike    02 січня 2025 р. 19:39

The premise of Claire's Harbour is strong: Garrett - on behalf of Keepers - should find girl named Elise. Elise was selected to be future translator, but the ship with her presumably hit the sandbar and she's missing. The trace led Garrett to small seaside town Claire's Harbour in which he quickly learned that shipwreck was caused by pirates. No...

I also like this mission. It's not big, but vertical, challenging and has very stylish looks (I also like Double or Quits, another small mission with similar style) and thick atmosphere. And Dirty Money (from the same 72h contest) is even more impressive.

Mike    31 грудня 2024 р. 21:29

Perhaps the McGuffin of Bloodstone Prison is not the best: after all, it's hard to imagine Garrett venturing to undead populated ruins of prison to return to his acquaintance his wife's brooch that this acquaintance lost while being held there as prisoner. Still, the level holds up well, even after 25 years after it's release date.

There's strange thing with Autumn in Lampfire Hills that - even after more than 25 years (yeah, Thief FM making is THAT old) - it still plays good. Lampfire Hills city is small, but surprisingly alive and full of details. It helps that Purah understood lessons of his disappointing debut - Shadow of lord Rothchest: there are much less unfair "go...

Mike    15 грудня 2024 р. 07:26

The plot of Events in Highrock is quite… convoluted: from its long premise text I figured out that Garrett while hiding from City Watch in small town Highrock was beguiled by some dark mage (who paid for Garrett's work with "false money") and is trying to find another thief, Switcher, who was intermediary between Garrett and that mage - to find...

I actually quite like opening sections. Finding way forward was not easy task (and map was not that helpful), but I liked challenge. On the other hand it was hard to find the main Mcguffin and I didn't like the fact that to finish mission you must trudge through the entire level back.

I can't comment the original release of DF but I played Tough Night which was released along first release of Dark Forest and it was subpar. It is city level with very samey architecture. Very, very samey an...

I also don't find them too hard. On the other hand they are gimmicky, that's for sure. They often use some interesting trick, idea. Sometimes there are challenging chokepoints, bottlenecks. But I don't think of them as hard. I think it's matter of personal preferences.

After successful jobs depicted in both Lieutenant 1 and 2 our hero, agent of so-called Western Empire is sent to some generic "arabian"-themed country to track down traces of this country's agent who stole some important blueprints. So this is the setup of Lieutenant 3.

Thief/TDM stealth-oriented gameplay overall is not the worst match for s...

Mike    20 серпня 2024 р. 23:06

I think of Short Night's Work as some kind of enhanced "remix" of Augustine's Revenge -also "low-key" city mission but bigger, better, badder. I like this one more, but surely it is not without its drawbacks. Perhaps you may like Nigel's Hidden Treasure more - it was made after AR, and is quite varying as well as Three Crowns. Perhaps to the point when it felt a bit too much varying and exhaustive in my opinion.
