THIEF: Definitive Edition

8 it s a sorprise very stealth game, and pretty ability skill

Bad like GOG is

No more wasting my actual life running around getting lost for the 9th time. No more semi-claustrophobic feel to Manor missions. Nor having to deal with something like ill-placed zombies everywhere with limited resources to deal with them. In this Thief game you’ll get to fully appreciate parkouring about the rooftops and hideaways as your playground. You fully utilize your environment for stealth, like crouching on top of a chandelier to either drop-attack a guard, or vanish like you were never there. This is one of three games that made me feel like a genuine thief, literally sliding from shadow to shadow. The dour visual vibe is perfect; it doesn’t overdo it. The pan at the beginning of the game out towards the water I found amazing. Romano Orzari does a fantastic voice acting job. I fully enjoyed the inclusion of “powers”. Because what thief wouldn’t eventually develop hyper-focus or safer landings. Plus, there’s always been a supernatural aspect to the Thief universe. The story might be considered basic. But when you give me this much rooftop highway, who cares. I played this in the middle of Covid, so the plague and civil unrest plots in the game hit harder. I can’t believe this great game didn’t get better press, reviews, and following. I hope a 2nd one is made soon.

feels like dishonored but stealthier

To be honest this game isn't that bad. It's decent, but of course hardcore fans from the Thief franchise will feel disappointed for several reasons. My main complain is the world and level design, because it is an 'open world' you think this could benefit a game like Thief where you have a lot of freedom and the exploration feels great, but the truth is that with exception of some missions, everything feels uninteresting, the places you can go are very limited and there are some nice puzzles from time to time but still don't feel that's enough. I feel a problem that they didn't solve from the previous Thief 3 is the lack of any fast traveling. While at first everything feels exciting to explore and discover, trying to always traverse throught the places avoiding enemies can feel tedious. Despite of all that, I still bought this game after playing it on Steam and I feel happy to own the full collection.
