Another masterpiece from Nicked. If you are up for a classic Dark Project experience, then you should definitely play The Scholar's Hand. The mission is great in terms of gameplay, as it allows freedom of exploration, provides the player with a few completely new and exciting tools of trade, and isn't frustratingly difficult or challenging. A few areas in the level, especially the scenic lakeside inn and the mysterious ruins (clearly inspired by The Widow's Ire FM), are just enjoyable to behold, as Nicked took his time to make them aesthetically pleasing. The Scholar's Hand is basically flawless and there isn't anything in it that I could criticise. Perhaps adding a loot objective would encourage and reward exploration even more, but this is just my personal preference, and the level is great as it is. Finally, I would love to see a sequel to this mission, perhaps with the previously-mentioned ruins as a starting point. Highly recommended!
