Still fresh to this day

It's not the best stealth game ever made, but it's an experimentation with an incredible pay off. One of the most innovative and unique first person games ever made. Although most the Gold missions are not as enjoyable as the base game, it's still worth picking up. Thief: The Dark Project is a must have for every PC gamer out there. Amazing level design. Fantastic lore and plot twist. Both main protagonist and villain are filled with charisma. And the factions have so much personality. Especially the guards with their funny conversations. Arguably the best art direction in any PC game. Creative gameplay that requires significant brain usage. It's a thinkng man's game on that regard. Some enemies might be annoying (humanoids and undead specifically) but most encounters are manageable. I own it both physically and digitally and I don't regret any penny I've spent on this game.

Awesome stealth

The only reason this game gets 4 stars (instead of 5) is because of a particular level that requires you to backtrack too many times and kill everyone - 30% of the game is frustration, 70% of the game is pure stealth bliss. The frustrating part is where you encounter zombies, haunts, spirits and spend ton of time solving senseless puzzles or finding loot in obscure locations to complete your objectives. Stealth mechanics - 5/5 [Hide in darkness, use moss arrows to reduce your footsteps sounds, throw items to distract, hide bodies, remove fires to create darkness, etc] Treasure hunting - 5/5 [Solve puzzles in the level to find hidden treasures that are most of the times your objectives on expert difficulty] Nit picky treasure objectives - 2/5 [Spend 2 hours in some levels trying to find that specific 10 gold lying somewhere in the huge map] Level design - 5/5 [Awesome level design, filled with secrets and multiple paths to your objectives] Combat - 2/5 [No reason to play this game for the combat] Gadgets/Devices - 5/5 [Water arrows, moss arrows, lock picks, rope arrows and much more] Story - 4/5 [Pretty cool story considering how good its gameplay is] As good as it gets, unbelievable this released in 1998, most games these days aren't as good. Highly recommended.

Not my type of game but still blown away

The first time I tried this, I got to Cragscleft, became frustrated, then stopped. I tried again next year, freed Cutty, took a break for the night, and... just didn't return. There was just too much friction for me to want to go back. I'm not sure what happened, but I finally arrived at the Bonehoard. This game finally clicked for me. However, each mission took at least 2 hours (real time) because I just got lost over and over again. I was watching a playthrough to see how other people approached it... well, it turns out that my problem was two main things: 1) I have terrible spatial memory & 2) I have such a terrible reading comprehension that I didn't bother to decipher any clues. I was too impatient to figure out the directions the game had given me and instead wandered around aimlessly for far too long. Clearly, I'm not the intended audience for this - Quake is more my cup of biscuits. Regardless, I stuck through it, including the Thieves' Guild. I recognised how compelling the gameplay was and embraced how brilliant the mechanics and level design meshed together. The variety of styles one must use for success kept me from being complacent. But my absolute favourite part is the weirdness: monsters, steampunk, fantasy, surrealism... yeah, the surrealism is mint. If the setting was more dry, then I probably wouldn't bother. But the fact that I felt this game was weird in spite of my tendency to play experimental indie games says quite a bit.

Still amazing to this day

I wasn't a PC gamer when this game came out, so aside from a previous playthrough that I dropped 3/4ths the way through a few years back, this is my first time with the game. You can tell why this is a classic. The graphics are drab and the cutscenes look like they were made with flash, but everything is super solid. The story is excellent and full of unexpected turns, the world itself is one-of-a-kind, the sound design is atmospheric and moody, the controls are tight once you get used to them, and the level design is some of the best I've ever seen in both realism (houses have kitchens, bathrooms, hallways that make sense, etc.) as well as how fun they are to play through. My gripes are few. One, the in-cutscene music is like knockoff Nine Inch Nails, or that one song from The Matrix everyone knows. It's supposed to make Garret sound badass, but it makes an already edgy game slightly comical. Next, although the engine is a marvel for the time, sometimes Garret has trouble walking up slopes. This forces you to run and make a ton of noise. Even worse, sometimes the game thinks you're trying to jump instead of scale a ledge. This glitch is like ringing the dinner bell for every guard in the level. Lastly, sometimes the game gives you bad directions. I get it: it's immersive that Joe Schmo who made your Crayon map heard from his mom's friend's cousin's ex-wife where the tresure is, but it's a pain in the ass to go through every guard for no reward with an added half hour of wandering around the same corridors you've aldready been through. Still, the game is stellar. I'd recommend it to literally everyone. There's a selection of difficulty options that even make this game easy enough for non-gamers in my opinion. That's rare for a game from this era. Plus lord knows it'll run on any computer out there these days.

A new favourite of mine

For years I heard great things about the old Thief games, still I first got around to play Dishonored in 2012 and then a few years later the Thie reboot. (I still like Dishonoered a lot, the reboot was boring though) And now, finally, I got around to play Thief Gold and OH WOW WHAT A GREAT GAME! I love the atmosphere, the worldbuilding, the character was also really likeable and the plot interesting. But really, the mood is what makes this game so fantastic. So eventhough I only played it now, in 2025, for the first time, it became one of my favourite games.
