Cleaning up the Neighbourhood is Some1stoleit's first mission, that introduces the story of the protagonist who has a past as a thief, but for various reasons has moved on from that profession. Now however, the city district he lives in has gotten a lot more dangerous and violent, due to an influx of bad characters. He won't stand for this, as even his wife has nearly gotten hurt. It all seems to emanate from the local pub and gambling den, The Scoundrel's Rest and it's owner, crime magnate Godfrey. It's time to go full vigilante and assassinate Godfrey.
The mission is medium sized with a few city streets surround the main location of The Scoundrel's Rest, a three story building. Much of the hard scenery is comprised of modules, which are pretty, but can get repetitive. In a small to medium size map it doesn't bother me personally. We start out in the sewers and have to navigate the guarded streets and find a way to infiltrate The Scoundrel's Rest, of which there are many. The inside of The Scoundrel's Rest feels very authentic and engaging, with a fully decked out gambling room, and an upscale "private inn" on the top floor. The observant and acrobatic player will find that there are many nooks and crannies around the streets section to explore as well. The story is compelling, and continues to unfold as the player progresses through the map. The gameplay through the map is pretty much standard fare Thief skulking, but provides enough challenge to be engaging.
All in all this map is an impressive debut and highly recommended!
