Other reviewers already pointed out strengths and weakness of this mission. I was just wondering why I was finding ammo to clean out an undead army in this nice establishment? I liked bits of environmental storytelling as well. Nice job.

After getting kicked by a horse (I had to test it, despite warning) - this beautiful, innocent creature - and escaping to roofs from a guard, I looked around and said to myself "wow, this is nice". What a sight. I began to suspect this is going to be a great city mission.

And it was. Streets themselves, outside the market square, aren't parti...

What was the purpose of combining these two missions, if the loot from the first mission doesn't affect the second one? You find blackjack in the first one, but the second mission claims you lost it while traveling. No loot, no nothing. Just two barely related missions together.

Missions themselves are decent, but playing it in this pack or s...

I never got to experience light version of this mission, because I always try to find and explore everything if a mission is good. This is a good mission so I found everything I could find (including allegedly optional goals).

You start in a cell without equipment and need to build up your arsenal as you try to get out. Because of this, the e...

Been a while since I played the original and I won't compare the two in detail. It's largely the same mission, yet the biggest change is the protagonist. It's not Garrett. And I think it's in favor of this rather unusual attempt. There are some other changes, like extra locations that I don't remember seeing in the original.

Between the two v...

Structurally sound, yet there's no interesting gameplay situations and a lot of empty rooms and chests, which kind of numb exploration. Loot is mostly in plain sight and it's easy to grab everything.

If I had to compliment something about it, is that it's a daylight swashbuckling adventure, where you need to kidnap someone. The story setup is...

It's a buggy, ugly mess of a mission, that will make you suffer. And not in enjoyable or entertaining ways. If you even remotely value your time, avoid at all cost.

It feels like it's an early version of the mission. Mostly human guards, super-sensitive. The walkthrough that I saw has more assets and various spirits, undead etc. Different names. You also get to choose equipment. Not here, though. You have only the sword and a few broadheads.

I played this one on expert and the difficulty is tight. One mi...

Not ambitious and tiny in size, yet there's enough substance for a 20-minute adventure.

Played on expert and finding loot was definitely not easy. The mission doesn't have much story and readables are more about finding secrets and trinkets. Visualls and atmosphere are comparable to the worst stuff from 1999-2000. Just an ugly thing without any sense of space or immersion. Guards are rare and easy to blackjack or even avoid.

In...

I loved the setup, very thief-y. But the mansion itself is rather basic. Patrols are rare and an option to turn off light in most rooms trivializes it. Unless ghosting, I guess. Loot isn't hidden much. Very cozy, very relaxed experience. 20-30 minutes max.

My favorite part about it was the beginning.

If get on the ship before cleaning the temple, you're stuck in the middle of the sea and you can't finish the mission. There's a note early in the mission, that warns about it. Interesting.

The mission is super-short, though, with quite decent game design for it's size (and era). That being said, not much to see here overall and it's skippable.

Scepter? Check. Talismans? Check. Kill everyone? Check. Carry a corpse? Check. Loot? Check. Undead? Check. Spiders? Check.

The biggest make or break of this mission - you need to kill all walking things and you will be fighting a lot. Design is OK, readables are fine, it's not too long. Still, it's not really worth it. It doesn't have anythin...

With a cursed ship.

30-40 minutes long. Unfortunately, it lacks challenge and interesting game design. It's a very relaxed experience. Simple geometry, but not without charm. The island itself is quite neat. There's a small dig site with a twist as well. Among memorable things - golf yard and the lighthouse that you need to fix.

The missio...

This one requires a dml fix. But it's not entirely clear what you're supposed to do. The mission ended when I killed everyone.

Overall, it feels like a little experimental playground. You have no tools and need to find everything to deal with enemies. One after another. Some interesting mechanics here and there, but it's not a mission I can r...

On the surface it feels rather by-the-book, not particularly a looker, mansion robbery. But it's the little things and secrets that make this mission work. It's a mission with a false bottom. The premise already sounded interesting, since you need to meet ex-lover inside the mansion, who will assist you. Meeting her made me LAUGH out loud. Her n...
