Aside from a few awkward jumps, this mission was pretty enjoyable. The mission is very vertical, making for some nice exploration. There are three "main locations" in this mission: the Mechanist Workshop, Lady Valeria's Mansion, and the Apartments. The Mechanist Workshop is where you find the "main content", the mansion and the apartments is meant for loot and an optional objective, which you activate by reading the "Job Offer" scroll (you have to buy it beforehand).
The loot requirement (on Expert) is tight, which forces you to explore areas. Sometimes, this requires Rope Arrows. I do enjoy this, but I always wish Rope Arrows were simply an infinite item, or something you could retrieve from the bottom of the rope. Something like that. You never know when you might need another one, and running out isn't fun if you actually need them (that means your mission is permanently failed). Fulfilling the optional objective is kind of tough. It's pretty hard to find the things you need to fulfill it.
The story is interesting, albeit basic. A new type of robot is being produced by the Mechanists, and you have to stop its prototype and destroy its production files, before they're spread beyond the workshop. It works. The only thing that's a little jarring is how Karras' message to Garrett from Angelwatch is reused here. This mission is supposed to take place before Angelwatch, so the "copy-paste" feels even more strange.
I encountered one bug: in the apartments, the guard was walking in the air. When he saw he, he started walking through the ground. Aside from this, and some earlier mentioned issues, this mission is still enjoyable and worth a play if you want something simple but fun.
