This one is short, so don't hesitate much about trying it out. There is not much in terms readables, or too much in terms of a story. Nothing about the mission's architecture is spectacular. But it pulls off the atmosphere superbly. There is just enough suspense without unnecessary drama, that you keep going until you're done. I just enjoyed it ...

I played two skacky missions back to back without realizing it with A Midsummer Night's Heist. I liked this one a lot. It has the atmosphere of an actual campaign mission, but the design is more complex. A lot of verticality, small balconies, elevated gardens and the likes. What is interesting is that the layout allows for a shorter playthrough,...

Continuing to go trough as many top rated missions as I can I've reached this One Million Units Contest gem. Skacky has created or participated in a good dozen Thief projects and I've yet to play one that I don't like. I don't genuinely enjoy very long missions and in the spirit of the contest, this mission is pleasantly short-ish. It still took...

A cool aspect of Life of the Party is that although Angelwatch is the crow jewel, it is still only a small part of the level. I feel like the cathedral here serves the same purpose of binding the district rooftops together, but is still only a part of the whole. I also frequently felt like too many people are awake during the early hours in The ...

When you filter FMs by "most popular" and play some of them for a while, you get a feeling for different "guilds of builders". The people that helped DirkBogan make this cool mission are among the top creators for the thief community. No wonder the mission has some Into the Odd (claustrophobic spaces and books with only titles) and The Black Pa...

So much has been said, that I'd like to be brief. Have you had a night mission turn into day, or an entity reacting only if you turn your back, or a guard patrolling with a dog? I haven't. I can't even believe I finished it. It took me almost 24 hours of exploring, restarting and plain being lost even with tips from the forums to complete these ...

...and disturbing once you start to read the readables. This is one of the old missions and by a community veteran who worked on TDS and T2X. I'm not keen on horror ones, but I got so many recommendations I had to try it. I like Eclipsed FM because it kept a nice suspense throughout the initial sequence. But the Inverted Manse is pure horror. A...

I didn't know what I was going into when downloading this, as I didn't read the description or pay attention to the screenshots. I didn't play anything else from the authors. The only information I had was the high rating. So, it was pleasant discovering the peculiarities and eerie feel of the first mission. Yes, this is a micro campaign of two...

It's 25 years after The Dark Project was released and we have new FM makers still coming into the scene. And what an entrance! The other reviewers said it well enough - this is a Keeper centered mission that deserves your attention. Without any further spoilers this is a throwback to the very beginning and I must say, for me, it was a surprise h...

I decided to try T1 FMs as well as T2 ones after seeing Endless Rain. I looked for highest ratings for these and that is how I arrived at Alcazar. I was actually able to finish this one without any hints. which is rare so far. But the first time I tried I thought it looked weird, too claustrophobic and I couldn't get too far. I was not familiar ...

I was only playing T2 mission up until I saw some screenshots and a video of this one. Skacky has created or participated in some of the best Thief projects, including The Dark Parade and Into The Odd, to which this missions connects if you read the readables.

I'm big on atmosphere and the way the rain is portrayed here just makes me want to ...

I played this only recently and yes I did finish it. This is sort of the smaller sister of Calendra's Legacy. One of the first FMs that took a whole team to complete. And it shows. It contains some of the most hilarious dialog I've heard and plot twists that will twist you head. A lot of scripting went into this one. Still, I can't rate it hones...

Imagine exploring a swamp, collecting bugs in a jar you got from a which hut, talking to people who give you optional quests. Doesn’t sound much like Thief, does it? Neither does walking around a manor, poisoned and coughing every few dozen seconds alerting the nearby guards. This campaign is a community effort and is full of fun secrets. And y...

Feels like reliving the Hammerite Cathedral undead invasion from before the first Thief. The way the city is segmented into safe, borderline and danger zones is very well done. Everything is barely holding on. It along with the ambience and the ominous story glued everything together for me to enjoy this one a lot. The mission doesn't make sense...

Trimfect (or Toni), the author of this mission, has shared parts of the story. I'm reading from TTLG forums. This is the mission that gave LGS consideration to release DromEd and give us 25 years of FMs. It took him roughly 2 months to create this, because back then even TLG people didn't know how to do everything. The mission's archive date out...

The mission's author is among the most involved in the community with an itch for the unusual. This first chapter in the small series is visually pleasing, but not painless. The buildings and the streets of Rocksbourg are narrow and not sound proof. You will find yourself attracting attention in the most awkward spots and often. Some areas requi...

It was about time Garret was put up against some Keepers. It's just not possible he is the only one that can hide in shadows. Imagine you are in a giant underground labyrinth and you know the exact number of adversaries after you. You take a few steps into the light and an arrow flies over your head. Or you slowly walk along a corridor just to h...
