At it's best, this mission features some amazing atmosphere in combination with fun gameplay. It makes extensive use of in-game cutscenes to progress the story which itself is satisfactory but could've been fleshed out slightly further. Parts of it are actually incredibly well made and impressive even over a decade later, yet the total experienc...

I'll be keeping this review quite short as I still have to process the absolute masterpiece I have just played. One of the few things I can say is that during my walk to the mission's exit after having completed all my objectives and spending well over 4 hours (without any major interruption) traversing the city I was still hoping that I had not...

One of the first things you'll notice when booting up the mission is that darkness is pitch black, even if you crank up your gamma to the max. This is done to incentivize the player to use the lantern, but I believe this gimmick has aged quite poorly. The light looks very unnatural and in one section some objects do not work well with the lanter...

I believe you should instead read the story this mission is based on, you can find it online for free. Also check out the rest of Borges works, pretty much everything in Ficciones is great.

But if you do decide to play this mission, be prepared for a rather frustrating fetchfest with a key hidden in a mean spot early on. Location of said key:...

I've been meaning to play this mission for a while now, but the Forced Ghosting and the Hardest genre have discouraged me from doing so as I'm not particularly good at this game. Don't worry, it's not particularily hard unless you play on Expert, the Forced Ghosting does not apply to Normal and Hard. Even if you do enjoy ghosting, playing on Exp...

I don't have a whole lot to say regarding this one other than you should play it. It took me about half an hour to finish and I experienced no frustration whatsoever while being entertained the whole way through. This mission won't blow your mind but it's very enjoyable and something I would recommend to people getting started with FMs, but I th...

This was a nice mission with satisfying exploration, good readables and high quality dialogue between guards which made it thoroughly entertaining, but it left me wishing for some more attention regarding the cathedral which is by far the largest building here. It felt a bit cold and boring to explore and while I realize that it kind of makes se...

This mission took me almost two hours to finish, and I did not enjoy my time with it. My post should simply serve as a warning that you're in for a pretty long ride, which is something I wish I had known beforehand. I did however enjoy the custom voice acting for some a few conversations, and picking up lots of loot felt pretty satisfying.

First things first, the beginning is rather awful. Well, the beginning of the gameplay, as the briefing cutscene is great, but more on that later. You wake up in a river that looks pretty bad and which leads you to an even worse segment. It's pretty short (around 5 minutes) and everything that follows is great, but be warned that you will need t...

There are some nitpicks to be made, but I think this is a fantastic and rather underrated mission if you're looking for half an hour of entertainment.

While its quite lacking when it comes to an actual story, I really liked the readables and they add lots of character to the different guards which is something I've rarely seen done in a missi...

First of all, this mission isn't offensively bad in any way; it pulls of what it sets out to do and is rarely frustrating or confusing, which is something I value relatively highly. It simply wasn't what I'm looking for in a mission and I recommend you check it out (if you haven't already) as I think some people will really enjoy this one, even ...

I was hoping that the second mission from this author would address the issues I've had with the first one, and it partly did. I've had one glaring issue with it but that's something I'll bring up in detail later, in the spoiler section.

There's a map now! Though this time around it's not one huge building with a large courtyard, but instead ...

This mission is one of the best ones featuring the Hammers I've played so far. While the story is nothing groundbreaking, it is well written and pretty decent so no complaints there, and the atmosphere is also great. Two things have lessend my enjoyment of the gameplay, though.

First and foremost, I believe a map would've been VERY helpful as...
