Thief™ 3: Deadly Shadows

I really liked Thief, and Thief 3 brought some welcome modifications. However, in the later stages of the game you do end up spending a lot of time waiting for the next section to load. I really enjoyed the "open world" play between missions which wasn't available in the original, but those load screens sure got annoying.

Even only for the Shalebridge Cradle scenario you just have to complete this game. That's probably the most epic and disturbing level of all time, all games, ever, Sanitarium included, despite I'm usually not quite keen on scary or disturbing games. I'm unusually afraid of 2 things in life : mentally ill people and orphanages (must be something in my past :)), therefore this scenario is absolutely spot-on for me.

played it many times! still holds up! better npc and sounds then todays games

The 3rd installment of the Thief series. Each has their own defining trait. Will always enjoy replaying this

Running on windows 10, the game has a few layers of unplayability without mods. Frequent crashes and mouse aiming that is VERY slow and choppy made it so I didn't even get through the tutorial. Compare this to Thief II which plays smoothly, flawlessly and has 1080p support, Thief 3 is just sad in comparison. It's much more playable with the sneaky update mod, but still not as seamless of an experience as Thief II is without mods.
