I will deliberately take a contrary position just for the sake of writing incredibly long arguments

I'm surprised that they pulled so many things directly from Thief. Copying its gameplay is one thing, but Hammerites are very obviously part of the Thief franchise.
Voice acting is very fanny, and enemies spew their lines too often while fighting.
The swordfighting system is creative, but feels slow and clumsy. If attacking was faster one could chain some proper combos together.
Mantling up on things is a little bit too easy, actually, if I can climb up on burning wall torches with no issue.
It's a shame the rope physics aren't better than they were in the Half Life era.
See, overall, this is such an impressive production that I feel justified in focusing on the negative. This mod doesn't need me to pat it on the head and tell it that it's a good boy and is going to be an astronaut some day. It's very well made, it's confident in what it is, it has already come into its own, and now the team just needs to tweak and polish.
