Better than I thought it’d be

This is not trying to be exactly the same as the trilogy and so should not be judged as such. I do think some of the changes go a little too far. I've seen some compare this Garrett to the Crow and there's definitely some truth to that it's just a bit too emo and or goth. I don't think Erin is necessarily a terrible idea but we do end up with the character who spends a lot of time talking about her pain. I think it would work a lot better if there was at least a little bit more depth there. Though I do respect that there probably is a number of sad teenage girls who vibe with this franchise. I really appreciate that this does not get completely taken over by the grappling hook and such. I was a little concerned about that when it first popped up. Also I know some people really don't like that tapping space twice and then moving in a direction allows you to move fairly fast and yet fairly quiet regardless of what material you're on. Please keep in mind the game never actually forces you to use this. It's there to open it up to people who are not yet ready to meet the, let's be honest, at times fairly intense challenge of the trilogy even on easy difficulty settings. I like most of the additions. Looking for hidden panels, breaking into a safe, that sort of thing. The story is quite engaging. I really appreciate that this doesn't undo any of the trilogy. It also doesn't expect players to know. Like, there's a couple of little tidbits for us long time fans but this could easily be the first you play. I don't think that a sequel to the trilogy, one that was very directly tied to those, is particularly likely. I just don't see how you follow up the perfect ending of Deadly Shadows other than this sort of soft reboot thing. This honestly might be the one that does the best job of finding a way to drag Garrett kicking and screaming into contact with the plot without it feeling ridiculously contrived. Let's be honest, that's always been a bit of an issue for this series.

Could have been much better

Design in general is bad, a lot of frustrating instances, atmosphere is very monotonous with almost no sense of dread. On the other hand, the graphics and sound quality is quite good. Dialogue and content are vulgar for the sake of being vulgar, not really achieving anything. All in all it has a lot of potential, but falls short on most points.

Not bad

This game is fair, not great. If you get it on sale for a few dollars, like me, it's worth it. I enjoy the sneaking around and the atmosphere. I've been skipping the story for the most part and just enjoying it for what it is...a mediocre stealth game I bought for a few bucks.

Amazing Stealth-Game, Bad Story.

This game has established the go-to way for me to experience stealth games. The 1st person view makes sneaking, listening to your environment but also switching from cover to cover or shadow to shadow absolutely intense. Loved everything about it. Also the controller support is top-notch with almost(!) perfect force feedback. Lock-picking gives you the option to listen and look around with your right stick, while searching for the right spot with the left stick and resp. force feedback. When guards are patrolling around you, this creates an incredibly intense atmosphere. Besides the parcour movement, which is also present, feels great and reminded me a lot of Dying Light 2 - minus the Kung Fu Style Drop Kicks of course, LOL. Honorable mention for the puzzles, some were done great, with my favorite being the "Heart of the Lion". That's for the positive, which kept me coming back for more. Now the downsides, which almost made me uninstall and quit my playthrough: The story switches from intriguing and fascinating - chapters 3 and 4 were my absolute favorites with their memorable set pieces - to predictable and boring after the 5th act. Which is being amplified by bad pacing. Latter one is making the last 1.5 chapters feel kinda "irrelevant" and made me wishing for the game to end, which was kinda unfortunate. When it comes to story presentation: Some of the cutscenes, which are not presendet in-engine, but via videos, look kinda bad. Some are even interupted (or haven't been completed rendering during production?! LOL) which doesn't do the the main issue with the story any favors. You also have two boss fights, which feel out of place and kinda bad. From the tech perspective: XBox pads only. Having a PS4 or PS5 like pad? The did not work for me. But on the other hand the performace in 4k Is amazing with all maxed out, making the game quite amazing and radiating incredible atmosphere. Long Story short: Great game, bad narrative. If you like stealth game experiences and environmental puzzles, I'd highly suggest to NOT SLEEP ON THIS! Especially on sale.

Decent game, step-down from originals

Thief is a stealth game where you play as Garrett the Master Thief, caught between warring factions and investigating the disappearance of his protege. One unique thing is that this game feels like a stand-alone sequel and soft reboot of the franchise. You have characters with the same names, and also references the events and locations of the originals, so maybe there's a reincarnation thing going on. I played this game as my entry to the franchise, and coming back after the originals I can see why it's a disappointment. Levels feel very monotonous and linear, while the original had more color, variation, and cooler fantasy elements. The original was also hailed as an immersive sim, with emergent gameplay and freedom to do things. But here it's restrictive, like how you can only jump and use rope arrows at certain spots, very railroaded. It felt like a dumbed-down Dishonored. There's a hub area, but due to the bland color palette and same-looking areas, it's kinda difficult to navigate unlike in Deadly Shadows. You can replay missions, but you have to navigate the city to find the (unmarked) mission start point. If you see Thief as a standalone stealth game, it's decent. But compared to the originals, it's a step down in almost every aspect, except maybe having more realistic graphics. Still, it's quite fun if you enjoy stealth. And the GOG version comes with full DLCs, including bonus equipment and upgrades as well as a fun bank heist mission.
