Last impressions after 27 years!

The original Thief game remains one of the most immersive stealth action-adventure game, the father of the Sneak-em Up genre! After so many years, the game is still a challenge even to a seasoned gamer and everything in it is how it is supposed to be: the atmosphere is eerie and mystical, the enemies are vigilant and unforgiven, the beasts are tough and persistent every step could be lethal! How unfortunate the series has never continued as we've wanted despite the sequels that are good enough, but not so perfect!

Nothing Like It

Thief gold is a fantastic game. The level design is excellent and you would be challenged to find the same level of quality in today's games. Thief Gold has a variety of different levels, some you may find yourself breaking into a mansion to steal a valuable, others you will find yourself delving into long lost ruins or haunted tombs. The game has a thick atmosphere, and I found after a while of playing that I was looking past the aging and in some parts blurry textures and being sucked into the world. If you enjoy first person stealth games, or stealth games in general you will love this game. If you like more of the stealing from people elements you might prefer thief 2, as it has less tomb raiding and monsters than Thief Gold. Excellent game, highly recommended.

A game at war with itself

I'm generally a big fan of stealth games, but I don't see myself revisiting Thief. I appreciate what it was trying to do, the whole atmospheric first person dungeon crawl type thing, and when it could fully bring that aspect to bear, it was fantastic. However, I found that that glamor was usually (though not always) lost amid the experience of actually playing the game. Here's what it boils down to: at all but the lowest difficulty, Thief is essentially two conflicting games mashed together: a stealth game and, well, a Mario 64 type collectathon/platformer. This makes sense, as you'd expect a thief to engage in both sneaking and collecting things, but in practice what it leads to is tediously dispatching every enemy in the level so you can go around secret hunting unobstructed, making the stealth aspects go out the window. This could have been entirely mitigated if the level design was much more linear. I absolutely loved the first Sly Cooper, and that's essentially what that game was, a linear stealth collectathon game. But Thief's levels are absolutely massive with secrets hidden in obscure locations. You have to spend so much time wandering around looking for stuff that sneaking quickly becomes too much of a chore to deal with. It's a shame because the game's stealth mechanics are quite good. I appreciated how absolutely relentless and deadly the guards are compared to most other stealth games. And without the collectathon aspects, the nonlinearity would serve this gameplay well. But I feel like it's not something that should be engaged with unless the player knows the levels like the back of his hand and can beeline to where all the stuff is. That's probably the point at which the gameplay becomes fun, but for me, that's too much investment to get to that point. I still find the game quite interesting, and am willing to check out the sequel. To anyone buying this game, I'd also suggest the gold2dark mod. The new Gold Edition levels really are awful.

Cult classic

Game from a different time - where studios used to be creative and innovative. The graphics may seem a little outdated, but the mechanics are not. Highly recommended for anyone who's into stealth games.

Began something that became incredible

It feels wrong to only award this incredible game 4 stars, but I feel I have to to validate the 5 I give its sequel, which is a timeless, amazing game. When Thief arrived, it blew me away, and I played the first few missions over and over again. But the fact is I could never bring myself to finish it. The game became infused with magic, zombies and monsters, and it lost something. I'll always be eternally grateful to Thief, it gave me such incredible inspiration, and such tense moments huddled at my monitor in the dark with my headphones on. It was the game that justified EAX, and it defined a genre. But it doesn't reach the amazing heights of its sequel, and for that, in retrospect, I have to penalize it.
