I did not like kidnap, at all. That level was straight up confusing as hell. Didn't know which way was up or down, and paths with side paths and more little back paths leading all over the place, introducing more paths. I didn't like it. I felt stressed. At least i knocked out cavador in the first 35 minutes of the game without even knowing it. Saw like four dudes rolling deep through some caverns somewhere, and knocked them all out. Didn't even know one of them was cavador after clearing the sights of mechanists. Looked here on this site and saw that he would be walking with a bunch of people. Had to try and remember where i encountered that and backtrack. I basically bruteforced my way through this mission, messing up and killing mostly everyone. I was just done with it.
But Casing the joint, that was enjoyable. I thought I would hate it because forced ghosting, but it felt satisfying slipping past guards and reaching the security control room by accident, and silently snatching the guards money. I like the layout and look of the building as well. I got into the building by climbing up onto the ledge, then onto the roof were the last guard is at all the way to the left, then smashing the window and hopping inside. I thought that was the only way in anyway, because I missed the boxes right at the beginning. I finished the mission the same way by smashing through the window of the third floor terrarium. Didn't feel like traveling back downstairs.
Plus the library ghost followed me outside, encountering the guard standing in the room. Brave man fought the apparition to the death, but the ghost won the battle, killing him with his ghost hadouken attack. Thought I failed again, but it wasn't my fault the man died. So the mission continued.
