Thief™ II: The Metal Age gives you a chance to revisit the dark streets of the City, now changed by the Order of Mechanists, a new cult which has embraced many of the followers of the fallen religion of the Hammerites. In a world of steam robots and cameras Garrett will have to face a new opponent - Sheriff Gorman Truart, a lawman determined to rid the City of all criminals, starting with master-thief Garrett. Equipped with a new set of tools, including flash mines and scouting orbs, Garrett has to keep himself alive and unveil the secret behind Truart's actions. Starts out looking as a simple case of corruption will eventually become much more, and Garrett again finds himself a reluctant savior--but that doesn’t mean he’s not going to rob the City blind while he saves it!
Are you the sneaky type? Do you have a problem with the concept of personal property (unless it's your's)? Do you feel that shadows are your best friends? Thief™ II: The Metal Age will provide you with hours of stealth and thievery, just the way you like it.

That pretty much sums it up. Even, what, 14 years later i cannot get tired of this game. The reason being is that it everything that was exciting about the first Thief and ran like the dickens with it. In the right direction. The game world is believable and fully fleshed out. And leaves alot for you to explore, or not explore as you choose. It's incredible. Enjoy the ride, you might want to play through it more than twice.
If you have any interest in stealth games then you owe it yourself to buy this game. Having always loved stealth games this was one i was very happy to find here on gog.
Recommend that you also get one of the high res mods to be able to play in higher resolution and with better textures.
5/5
I actually give this 4.5 stars, not 4, but since it is less than T:DP, I picked 4. The story is not as good as T:DP. The variety of enemies is not as good. I understand they wanted to create a bunch of copies of the Assassins mission in T:DP, as that level is a gem, but they got rid of the enemy variety in the process. It is the same game from beginning to end. I think there is only one or two Haunts in the entire game, and you could completely miss them, and those guys will make you sweat. They are sorely missed. The ghosts are missed. All of it. Almost always you are up against human enemies of the same types.
Great but not perfect I think. More Thief, bigger missions, some new ideas, but lacking the great story and enemy variety of the first so you use the same tactics the entire game, where in T:DP you had to mix it up, depending on what you were up against.
