Good Thief Game
I have played all 4 Thief games and this one was pretty good overall. I see where some of the complaints come from, but I feel they are unwarranted. I actually enjoyed this one over Thief 3. Many say this game is very linear, but I didn't feel that way at all. The 8 actual "levels" do feel more straightforward, BUT the game is centered around this HUGE city. You enter random places to collect loot, do odd jobs, and you have a home base. The graphics are top notch compared to the other 3, but that is a given with the Unreal Engine 3. I would compare this game to the last 3 Tomb Raider games in style, but more clunky with the execution. As for the actual gameplay, I felt this was more in the style of 1 and 2. You can sneak around, knock guards out, put out flames, shoot everyone, etc. I did feel the story was decent, but lacked the creativity of the first two. You are encouraged to play under 1 of 3 styles - Ghost, Opportunist, or Predator. Each level or job gives you some objectives to earn extra money at the end. You can play doing all 3 styles in one level, but the majority one is what matters. You don't earn the other bonuses even if you completed everything. The main downside I found with this game is that you have to go specific routes to reach places, and it can be very time consuming. I also played the entire game without combat, extinguishing a flame with water arrows (core of the first 3 games), or running out of supplies. You can turn off candles with a wave of your hand now. They introduce a skillset called Focus that gives you extra abilities (think the survival instinct of latest Tomb Raider games). I found it sort of useful, but not really needed and added extra fluff. Overall, I played about 50 hours with this game and enjoyed it for the most part. It ran just fine on a Windows 11 system with the most updated tech no problem. If you are a fan of the first 3, then try this one. Just know it is a bit different - good or bad.
