Not as good as it could be expected
Having read all these reviews that praise the game, one may think it is all about stealth and sneaking. A puzzle-like gameplay can be imagined, where you have multiple ways to "solve" the mission and full freedom to combine different ways. In fact, all puzzles end very quickly. After a couple of interesting sneaking missions you get into tunnels, ruins, sewers, fighting with zombies and lizards just like some weird sort of Indiana Jones and not a thief. Sometimes you will have a refreshing breath of "stealth" gameplay and a story, but while digging in the tunnels and running another lap to find the last 15 coins in another old temple you may forget how good it was that rare times. Sneaking to avoid the enemies and to not to trigger an alarm in many times doesn't worth it: the levels are designed the way where you often need to run through the same place many times. And avoiding a guard every time of 4 or 5 is really annoying. You can't have any plan to go through the mission and to plan where to spend you arsenal of arrows. To end up with sneaking, almost 1/3 of places are not sneakable: the lights cannot be turned off, two or three guards are patrolling the rooms with noisy marble floor and you don't have enough moss arrows to hide your movements. The only sneaking option you may have in this situation is to sit for few minutes, waiting for guards to go away. But if they detect you - their radars turn on: they will never lost you and will find you even if you hide in a deep shadow around two corners of a corridor. The story is short, the levels are long and lack in details, the game gives no reach gaming experience and in many places looks like a time consumer with no reward. In the end it turns into what it tried to not to be: into a strange first-person "fencing and shooting" with rare sneaking elements. I've bought it in a bundle so I'll try next games in Thief trilogy, but won't ever return to Thief Gold again.
