The sewers section was a joy after a few false starts. For someone who prefers to play minimal reloads with improvisation, I did a few straight up "mission restarts" in the first 10% of the sewers until I modified my tactics.

While the section kinda forces ghosting a bit (there's really nowhere to run to get away from someone before running i...

Aside from the brief segment in Goldwell's SoN: A Curious Mind - this is my first experience of a "Thieves' Highway" mission in TDM.

This is one of those rare missions that starts off with a whimper but very quickly builds into something great.

The first 25% of the cityscape I found linear and I was frustrated at the way staying off the st...

I was ECSTATIC at first when I read about it as it was a collaborative effort between my two favorite creators. Then after reading it was a speed-build in 2 weeks - I decided to put it on the back-burner for a bit - figured it would be good but not amazing.

I was blown away.

The art assets, the guard leaning models and the visible breathin...

Ascend the Dim Valley is a shining example of what the culmination of 20 years worth of FM's can and should lead to. I clocked in at a bit over 4 hours, trying to explore the entire map, and even then I ended up with ~4700 with 1000 loot missing.

The map is massive, placed within a small valley where two opposing lords in their mansions/cast...

Zrobiłem to w dwa dni. Oczywiście dzięki urlopowi, ale w tygodniu pracującym tez przeznaczyłbym na to maksimum dostępnego czasu.

Fanmisja w pierwszej chwili nieco przerażała opisem sugerującym, że to nowa jakość i sprawa będzie ciężka. Zmusi nas do robienia notatek, wysokiej przewidywalności, czytania ogromnej ilości tekstów i troski o każdy ...

The map design was pretty nice. You are in a small village and the map area itself it not very large, but there are many rooms making it compact, so there will be a decent amount of time spent playing. It took me 2-3 hours to complete. I was totally lost trying to understand where some switches were at a few points and regrettably had to use a ...

A warehouse heist that turns into some kind of post-mechanist, undead horror. The first half of this mission is pretty enjoyable, but when things go surreal everything becomes annoying and confusing with unkillable enemies and too many readables on top of that. Feel free to disagree, but this is not really my kind of mission.

I'm making my comment here because it's the most up to date version, even though I played the 2000 release version. Calendra's Cistern really stood out to me as the first FM I played that was on the level of polish that I would believe you if you said it was made by the official LGS team. The mission area is huge and lasted a good 2-4 hours for ...

This was one of my first FMs, and overall it was good, but felt a bit empty and aimless in places from what I remember. The most memorable feature of it that stuck with me was introducing the concept of verticality. So while it's not among my top FMs, the idea of verticality left a lasting impression with me.
