The Whistling of the Gears,
a friend of Lost Among The Forsaken:
I'm definitely more of the Metal Age / Victorian Era kinda player, but this one and LATF from the same contest should be played together for it's run down, stoney, maze-like alleyways. Amazing mission, regardless of the few criticisms that this one in particular got. No spoilers: Don't wander around at the beggining, try to tackle the objectives directly. You'll get the chance later on.,

Broken Triad,
It will remain on your memory:
I checked my files and it was literally a year ago that I played this FM for the first time, and not only I remembered lots of it (not usual) but it's also one of those FMs that works better for me in a replay rather than the first time I try them. Middle to little town map (compared to stuff like Being Thief 2 and Feast of Pilgrims) but very intrincate, with an excelent use of different parts of it in each mission, very similar to Seven Sisters in that regard. In the first mission you have ...,

Rose Garden,
Amazing routing:
It is a sign that skacky, IMO the master of this same medieval city style that has a lot of starting on the street, climbing the buildings through unexpected routes, says this is his favourite FM ever. I don't feel the same but it still managed to surprise me enough to leave this review for one simple reason: I've made a million jumps, rooftop crossing trying not to slip, and other acrobatics that feel almost like cheating the engine, when I realized after doing those that it was the intended...,

Calendra's Cistern,
A classic from a bygone era:
It's a hard thing to dislike the most famous FM ever made of Thief. I admit it was a shocking thing to see that you can sign the guest book of the party you're crashing, which sent me into a google deep dive between the FM author and Dishonored (he designed the Boyle party level too), but ultimately the mission feels very much like many of the OMs feel, in the worst way possible: gamey, contrived, too much like a videogame level. I'm 100% sure it's because the newer FMs have spoiled me like ...,

Zealot's Hollow,
A genuinely unique mission unlike any other:
This FM is a hidden gem. You've never played anything with an architecture like this one. A cramped city like no other. Try it yourself.,

The Scarlet Cascabel (v2),
Simulation galore:
I adore big mansions or buildings realistically depicted. It is the pinnacle of the inmmersive sim that Thief helped popularize. The second mission is one of those incredibly detaliled spaces, this time a hotel; the kind of building that permeates other very well regarded FMs. This is one of them and, imo, it's the best FM for Thief Gold.,

Disorientation,
My amazing intro into the Talbot series:
Spoiler free info for people interested:
You'll find a dark and contrasted city sprawl that threads the needle perfectly between making you feel like the title of the mission without you being absolutely lost. You're always sorrounded by tall and meanicing stone walls reminicent of a Thief 1 city, but one that has grown to use both electricity and in scale; you'll be looking up just as much as you'll be looking at front, and you'll be rewarded for it with alcoves, secret passages and high ...,
