Classic stealth in an imaginative world

Thief is a game all about stealth and thievery. Get tasked to steal a valuable item, preferably without being seen or leaving any corpses. But however you tackle it is up to you due to the three different difficulty options. Normal lets you get away with killing and only focuses on stealing the main objective. Hard and Expert puts in extra objectives and an amout of loot you have to steal, like items for total of 500 coins. With a dynamic light system, great locomotion and soundsteps that make different noises depending on what material you tread on, it all makes for a great suspenseful and sometimes quite scary experience! But what will make you stick through is the fantastic storytelling and the imaginative world. You want to know what happens next and reading various books and scrolls in the levels reveal more about the world and so on. All in all, it's a classic title with surprisingly amount of deftness and subtley, both in gameplay and story.

Old but golden

This is still the best thiefing simulator out there. You have much more freedom to tackle each mission than in its grandchildren like Dishonored.

As good as it gets!

I can't say enough about how great this game and its sequels are. Play this game in a dark room, crank up the sound, and prepare to be amazed. The graphics may be a bit dated but this game was never about graphics - its the sound and environment that really draws you in. Challenging, with a great story, world, and characters make this one of the best series of all time. The fact that I can still spend hours exploring all the nooks and crannies of every level 10+ years later says it all for me. Bring on Thief 4!

The Gold (drumroll) standard for stealth

Thief was pretty revolutionary for stealth games - putting the player in a FPS position and eliminating many of the artificial display systems (radar, enemy state indicators) in favour of having to 'read' the lay of the land and determine enemy state by direct observation. Also, one of my favourite games ever. As one of the Splinter Cell team, this was the game that influenced our gameplay design the most, along with Deus Ex, a sort of spiritual successor in many ways. Open layouts, excellent AI and VO, amazing music - this should be on any game designer's must-play list even after all these years.

My Favorite Game Series of All Time

If you've never played Thief, then I somewhat envy you. I wish I could experience this series again for the first time. This series dared to try something different amidst a world of first person shooters, as they were all the rage in the late '90s and anything else done in first person was unthinkable. In fact, I originally found out about this series because I was an avid Quake player and PlanetQuake put up a review of this game on their site. That is how ingrained first person shooters were in the world of gamers. I was glad I gave this game a shot. The idea of "stealth" gaming was a new concept at that point. Splinter Cell wasn't even a twinkle in anyone's eye yet. But the real surprise was how good of a story the series had. Looking Glass Studios made a masterpiece, and followed it up with another winner (which I hope GOG gets someday too). There is indeed a reason why Yahtzee gave this game a glowing review in his zeropunctuation reviews, and considering most of his reviews are negative, that's saying something. Yes, the graphics are a bit dated. But, if you're on this site, I would assume that would be a minor concern for you. Trust me, you will not regret giving this game and series a try. Like I said, I envy you, the person who has not yet tried this game/series.
