CLIENT JOB: THE CARNAL CONNOISSEUR
Vittori knows where the second item stolen from him is now, so he sends Garrett to fetch the fabled eight-legged cat "Octopuss" from a private collection owned by a man who inserts random household objects in his bum.
100% loot collected, as usual.
This time the level itself forced me to be as speedy as I was. If you're too slow and Aubrey goes down to the cellar to fetch the bottle, which he randomly doesn't do at all sometimes, he will cause you a lot of grief, and if you're too slow and one of the guards talking outside goes down in the cellar to patrol it, you're near to fucked. So I had to get down to the cellar BEFORE either the guard or Aubrey go there, no time to fuck about.
Furthermore, AFTER you get the Octopuss, which triggers the cellar patrolling guard to start staring at the wall to allow the player safe passage, and after you leave the cellar which triggers the final shift in guard placement, the second timed challenge begins. You couldn't see it here, but the cellar guard will come back up right behind you and start patrolling the cellar and the yard, so getting back in the house quick is step one. Then you have to be careful with your timing, because you can easily sneak past Aubrey's back while he's talking to his master, but he will eventually just turn around and guard the door, making escaping unnoticed almost impossible(*), BUT you also cannot be too quick downstairs. If you throw the bottle to distract the guards downstairs too early, the noise will fuck with Aubrey's AI and he'll just start guarding the upstairs door without ever starting the dialogue or turning his back, so you'd be fucked then, too.
(*) I noticed in this level that being seen by civilians doesn't actually count against you so being seen by Aubrey when escaping is actually not a big deal, but still, you're a master thief, so don't get seen by anyone. Just because it doesn't count in end results screen doesn't mean it doesn't count in your heart!
It's really funny that this was the first section of the entire game where I actually had trouble with anything not glitch-related, and so far the only time I've even for a second doubted if I could actually beat the entire game with the extra difficulty settings, because apart from the required careful timing, the level is actually very, very easy with nothing special needing to be mentioned. I do really like the "puzzle" about the safe combination, though. I know it's not that big of a deal, but I've played a lot of action adventure games lately where the answer to a puzzle is actually just written right next to the puzzle so there really is no puzzle. I was afraid the combination here would be just written on the wall or the painting or be a year on a wine bottle nearby, but n

While on their way to the museum, the Ghostbusters hear that there is something strange going on at the public library where the first ghost they ever actually encountered made them look stupid, so they head there immediately to investigate.

Here's my playthrough of CounterSpy, a little arcade-stealth-shooter with randomized levels taking place during the Cold War.
The Imperialist States and the Socialist Republic have identical plans to strike the moon with nuclear warheads for who knows what reason. Unfortunately the consequent blast would send the moon spiraling towards Earth and cause the end of the world, so a spy from C.O.U.N.T.E.R. is sent out to collect enough launch data from the two sides that the nuclear detonation of moon can be averted.
This video is from the PS3 version, but I've played the PS4 version before this. I wouldn't recommend getting the PS3 version as I had several serious issues with the game, like freezing, framerate dropping, errors while saving and such, and that's all just on top of 1 minute 30 second loading screens before levels, and 20-30 second loading screens before the results. The PS4 version has worked for me just fine, though. I've enjoyed it a lot.

Homeless bring bad luck, astrologists find.
MISSION PLAN:
ICA Outstanding Performance Coin, Classic Lockpick, Sieker 1, Sieger 300 Ghost in apartment
I belive this would complete the 'Stick it to the man' challenge. What I read online is that you only need to kill Hush while in homeless disguise, not necessarily break his neck. Hard for me to say for sure, I completed it over two years ago.

The final stage! The humans are so keen to capture the aliens causing havoc on Earth that they've created a space station and are dressing up as aliens themselves just to lure out Cosmi and his friends.
There are flying scanners in this stage that can recognize an alien immediately even through a disguise, and once they've detected an alien they turn into killer robots that can only be destroyed, or rather turned back into their scanner mode, by hitting them with the laser beam item. Otherwise they keep following you everywhere.
The opponent to beat here is Cosmi's master himself, who does indeed seem to be more aggressive than any previous opponent.
The panic time is a meteor shower that will hit anyone not wearing a space suit, so it would be wise to stay updated on where the two patrolling astronauts are, who are thankfully marked on the radar at all times. Unfortunately the astronauts do not carry any items on them, so zapping them willy-nilly when there's no fear of panic time is a huge waste of time.
The ending cutscene and credits are in a separate video, because the credits song is copyrighted material and the video might someday be removed. It's already blocked in Germany, so sorry Germans, you don't get to see how this game's story ends. Don't worry, it's only the greatest ending to a video game ever and you should never get over it or stop feeling left out, but you can always move out.

Jacques Le Tickler the maniac likes to tickle other bears, only he tends to do it with his sharp killer claws. Now he wants to tickle Naughty, so Naughty better show this second-rate nutter what for.
Goal: Break the neck of a trapped Jacques Le Tickler.
Yet again The Tickler will start attacking other bears before long and gets himself offed by knights if you dilly-dally.
At the start it's made to sound like you need to be naked, but as you can see in the video, this is clearly a mistake as I did it while disguised as a knight.
Here's also a clearer example of the faction loyalty mechanic which actually also existed in the original Naughty Bear. I attacked a detective bear as a knight, prompting the other detective who witnessed the event start attacking knights, which could've lead to an all out war between knights and detectives had I not killed all of them.
You can trick bears into killing others if you let someone attack you while disguised and other bears witness it. Since bears only know what they themselves see this can lead to long chains of bears killing bears who killed bears who attacked you. Of course this may not be a good way to gather points, but it is funny.

So the blueprints Garrett stole from Karras' office are too complex to decipher, but they do confirm that the Cetus Project, whatever it is, is taking place on Markham's Isle and that the supervisor of the project is named Cavador. This brother Cavador might be able to tell more about the Mechanist plans if questioned properly, so the next step is for Garrett to go to Markham's Isle and nicely ask Cavador to come back with him for a little chat with Viktoria.
We enter the last third of the game. Yes, you read it right, last third. 2/3 done. 15 levels total, 11th one starting here, although I don't think any of the later ones are nearly as long as Life of the Party was.
