This mission from nicked brings you to a mage keep and academy on a sabotage job that you’re supposed to pull off with the help of an associate. Naturally, things get complicated, and there are a couple of twists in store to spice things up.

Visually it’s what you’d expect from a nicked mission. It’s very clean and polished. There are plenty ...

"Underground" must be the word of the year so far for FMs, as it's been the feature of so many of them.

This particular one gets you around two main locations - a big hidden Hammer factory and a portion of an underground city/necropolis. The latter one is the clear winner for me, featuring some nice big spaces and interesting options of movin...

Wow, does this play nice.
I see lots of complaints about the mission being oversized. True, there is a plethora of locations to visit and objectives to complete, but I wouldn’t say it’s really that much bigger than some all-time city classics out there. For me it was a one-sitter (obviously not in a completionist playthrough, though), which is ...

A really good-looking city mission featuring nice variety of locations, with the underground hideout areas worth particular praise. Perhaps nothing especially original in this one, and its story quite forgettable, but both the brushwork and the atmosphere are very good.

For all the rest, it depends on what style of play you prefer. City missi...

This one is a mixed experience. You begin to hate it, then suddenly it gets interesting, and then makes you frown again.

Gameplay-wise, it's an adevnture game on Dark Engine. Find one object, use it in the room across the map to gain access to another room. Repeat 10 times. There are some puzzles to it and they're fair, but nothing particular...

Really atmospheric stuff in here. What "A Thief's Training" does with visuals is really impressive, as it brings into broad daylight arguably the darkest game in the series, and one of its darker themes as well. Both the little city section and the compound look very good and you get some brilliant sunlight effects, which are rare even in T2 FMs...

Since it doesn't have any reviews yet, let me briefly summarize the whole series here in one place.

A Love Story is a predominantly city-mission series (except for parts 5.1, 5.2), the premise of which is doing a number of tasks to help your buddies in their love affairs. Fetching items constitutes the bulk of gameplay in the series, with an ...

If you've played the first part, DP2 is like a fully-fledged version to what's been teased in DP1.
It's built around scripted events and plays like a movie, and to be fair it does good job with that.

Today the effects may not be as impressive, but back in the day they felt really awesome. If you already played Thief FMs 15 years ago, you'll...

This has an interesting premise of sneaking inside a place disguised as a nightwatchman. There are some new mechanics going with it that sometimes-kinda-sort of-not always work (?) but are interesting to try out nevertheless. The atmosphere is also quite good, with black-reddish colour palette and overall visual design bringing about a grim, sin...

This FM is as straightforward as it gets, and it works.
It's a perfect fit if you want quality, but don't feel like plowing through an overstretched story with difficult puzzles.

The level design is especially noteworthy, as the mansion layout allows freedom, exploration and stealth, while remaining convincing and looking great.
The charact...

I had diffucult time with this one, both playing and trying to rate it.

On the one hand, there are some overall quality improvements compared to the first part, on the other - it's so painfully soulless.
Many areas look samey. Especially in the beginning, it's a series of corridors and rooms so bland and repetitve you feel as if you were pl...

"Resurgence - The Ancient Crown" puts you in the shoes of a private eye hired to investigate the theft of a certain valuable item.

A great deal of care was put into the presentation of the narrative. Consistent with the theme and the setting, you get guns, phone calls, even stationary subway train (man, I wonder if there's an FM with a worki...

Whatever you'd expect of a Cardia FM, you'll find it here.

There's some really decent brushwork, very little story, and zero coherence.

Several places look very good, if a bit repetitive. The stealth element is *somewhat* here (albeit hampered by awful sound propagation). You'll get to visit some apartments, a respectable fortress, a medi...

--MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD--

Rowena's Curse is another FM of the early favourites.

The story is its strongest point as it very quickly gets you hooked and wanting to push and discover more. The characters are intriguing and presented from multiple other characters' point of view. There's more than enough depth not to have any flat or stereotyp...

So, Bad Blood 2 is actually a mini-campaign of 3 missions - one being a brief introduction.

It follows the theme of trains from the first part, but develops it a lot - as bonus entertainment now you can have fun with an operating loco as well as some basic signals and switches (also luring guards in front of it running).

It also seems to s...

Expect the blend of GORT-esque world and Sluggs-y gameplay.

You'll get neon lights, trains passing by, flashlights - all kinds of visual gimmickery.

This mission will throw you in, saying "go," without much context and with the aim of finding out what to do. There's actually a lot to be found and done, but almost all of it completely outsi...
