Garrett, the Master Thief, steps out of the shadows into the City. In this treacherous place, where the Baron’s Watch spreads a rising tide of fear and oppression, his skills are the only things he can trust. Even the most cautious citizens and their best-guarded possessions are not safe from his reach.
As an uprising emerges, Garrett finds himself entangled in growing layers of conflict. Lead by Orion, the voice of the people, the tyrannized citizens will do everything they can to claim back the City from the Baron’s grasp. The revolution is inevitable. If Garrett doesn’t get involved, the streets will run red with blood and the City will tear itself apart.
Garrett never paid the price for anything… until now.

As a clearly underrated classic, Thief 2014 incorporates all the key elements that made the previous Thief games classics, eliminates the poor features of the said games and, most importantly, elevates the whole series to a new level of excellence.
Having read the numerous poor reviews below, I initially hesitated buying this game, but I'm glad I eventually bought it, because it far surpassed my expectations. An incredibly atmospheric and immersive experience in subtle tones of grey that does not deserve all the negativity leveled against it. in YouTube and elsewehere. Thank you Eidos Montreal for this great game.

Thief Definitive Edition scores 5 of 5.
Yeah, there were definitely annoyances: can't jump, only certain doors can you interact with, AI is no better - even worse - than the much older games, some missions are too linear, and the story line is rather vague. I think the thing that annoyed me the most, however, was that instead of being a sequel, they felt the need to unnecessarily "reboot" the franchise. Yes, I understand that the original trilogy finished a sort of story arc for Garrett, but, couldn't this have simply been another adventure afterwards or even a prequel? It's almost like they made another game that, when they realized it was very similar to Thief, they decided to tweak it into a Thief game because it fit 80% of the mold. I mean, I see no other reason why they couldn't have just used the first game as a template, it's already there.
Now for the good. Great graphics, pretty atmospheric, voice actors are excellent, good soundtrack, decent characters and, other than lack of jumping and rope arrows, decent mechanics. Though not a great game like the originals, it's good for while waiting for the next big thing, but, Thief 1, 2, and, yes, even Deadly Shadows, were great games and just being decent is not what the franchise is about; this should have been on par with Dishonored, The Witcher, etc. But, if you're a Thief fan, it is well worth playing as long as your expectations are tempered with a little foreknowledge. Kinda like how people still watched Bond movies even after Moore replaced Connery because it was the only game in town, 80% Thief is still better than no Thief.
Someday, hopefully soon, someone will try to re-invigorate the franchise. I just hope it's someone who will do it right from lessons learned. Maybe Projekt Red? Anyway, I give it a star and a half more than it deserves just to counter the people who unfairly - and wrongly - bash it as worthless.
