I'm strangely drawn to short levels, perhaps because one of the first fan missions I've played was an excellent short one (All for a Night's Sleep). Even though it can be beaten in less than an hour, if you opt for completing it in ghost (an optional objective) it should make for an interesting experience, given one of the main goals requiring y...

Now here's an interesting one. A Journey Into the Underdark makes no illusions about what it's trying to be - an old-school dungeon crawl - but the author tries to keep the thief in us happy by providing a loot requirement. They needn't have bothered, because the execution of their vision is more than engaging enough on its own.

Your objectiv...

I have only played the first three missions, however what I have played is enough to warrant a 10/10. This is really the advancement of the old Immersive Sim in my opinion, the game just flows so well. A good example is in the first two missions, one in the city the other in a glorious mansion. I found myself in a sticky situation, being chased ...

It's always the same story. You are trying to make a little digging under and you get a whole WW 2 bunker instead. Heavilly guarded one. Guard posts and doubled patrols. Why not? It has everything. Except toilets – a big fault.
Yeah, the amount of guards per square meter here is the reason for a new FM category: forced blackjacking. Those obsc...

Is this mission supposed to play without lockpicks? Because I don't get them at any difficulty but every other door and chest is locked so I suppose it is not meant to be viable without them?

Let's get the positives out of the way, first. DrK's claustrophobic but intricate style of level design gives birth to a district that's even seedier and gloomier than anything the City could offer. The overall size of the level is small enough, with a variety of interconnecting paths, that you'll never be lost for more than a few moments. Rocks...

Simply put: this is an absolute classic of a long-nearly-forgotten adventurous campaign set in the ore-rich mountains of Margroth that does its own world building thing and a must. It combines Thief with the vibes of the likes of Ultima Underworld and Arx Fatalis and feels both quaintly archaic with at times dated designs (the first and best mis...

Amazing FM for its age. It took me a bit over two hours to finish on the highest difficulty.
I wasn't too invested in the story about keepers and obelisk, but I appreciate that it's there. The main thing for me in this mission was the atmosphere and gameplay. This FM is very labyrinth-like most likely because of when it was made, but it actua...

Outstanding. just outstanding. It's a must-play for any Thief fan. I would have happily paid top dollar for this.

Precarious Business is a relatively average mission on paper. I'd even say, it's probably an average mission for most players. Still... It somehow captures something very unique - at least in my book. The empty streets, the few comfy apartments you can visit, the small mansion, the completely optional crypt section. The way it flows has a magic....

Taka świetna gra i tak mało komentarzy?
Jedna z najlepszych FMek, z jakimi miałem styczność. Właściwie każdy jej element powinien dostać maksymalną ocenę. Mamy tu zarówno graficznie wypieszczone wnętrza, pełne nowych modeli, grafik i dźwięków (ambient!). Świetną i autentycznie wzruszającą fabułę. Ciekawe i trudne zadania...
