This is the kind of mission I had in mind when I first heard of the "Thief: Deadly Shadows 20th Anniversary Contest". If you've loved the mission "House of the Widow Moira " from TDS, this one is definitely for you. The assets were used in such a great way (along with the fantastic lighting setup) you might often forget you're actually playing ...

I cannot know what has been going in the mind of Lord Taffer throughout these years, since the release of his previous fm, Time For Change, but it seems he took all the critiques very seriously. Time For Change was a perfectly okay beginner's attempt (not great not terrible) with a couple of decent secrets, but admittedly the level geometry, tex...

Wisely simple, well designed and fun.
This mission doesn't try to change the world and the author has admittedly kept the scope low for their debut - which I'm really glad for! I really hope the author will have the chance to create other maps, and perhaps experiment a bit more with different themes. Either way, I've enjoyed this one quite a lot!

Although the title spoils the "surprise", still it kinda caught me off guard - in quite a pleasant way! One of the best homages to an original mission. Also: another fantastic map set in daylight! If you've played a lot of fan missions, you'll clearly see from where the author has taken the inspirations, but I think the ideas were remixed with a...

There is a chance you have already played at least a couple of fan missions by Haplo. This one is while not his very first, but still quite an early attempt (seemingly the first he decided to publish though), and has quite a lot of rough and clunky parts. Weird texturing, strange and awkward geometry, un-stealthable segments, etc. So, it's safe ...

Even though story wise this mission is a continuation of Thief 2, The Stone of Alarus is admittedly a Thief Gold homage. Overall it's decently made, and has a couple of neat touches (the intro, the switchable alarm system, the vegetation in the Hammerite attic, the relievos helping you navigate during the second half etc), but it somewhat strugg...

I really do like what the authors were going for with this one, and even though my final verdict is conflicted at best, I still think Cell 6 is a fascinating effort.
• The voice acting is not the best I've ever heard, but still, the performances are great and the sound quality is also fine.
• The map is thankfully small, I like how the authors...

Precarious Business is a relatively average mission on paper. I'd even say, it's probably an average mission for most players. Still... It somehow captures something very unique - at least in my book. The empty streets, the few comfy apartments you can visit, the small mansion, the completely optional crypt section. The way it flows has a magic....

I like small Thief missions a lot, it's pretty exciting to explore what an author can do on a tiny scale.
What shines here is the overall quality in terms of texture work, though there are some strange choices here being made as well.

Another review has already mentioned the bug with the difficulty: regardless of which one you choose, the mi...

This is the type of mission I can wholeheartadly dig: a simple, but pretty unique concept, implemented in a decent way. Now, it's important to note the gameplay is pretty much a quick save/quick load fest thanks to the engine's unreliable platforming - but I still think it's very much worth to be visiting at least once, because it has a strange,...
