Could've been great...
Cutscenes are amazing and in the established style. Sound, music, voiceovers - all great. Lockpicking is excellent and the story is very interesting and mysterious. What's missing? Well... If they chose tech first and discovered what couldn't be done too late or if it was incompetence, I don't know. Probably it was both, I only played this on release and now with the Sneaky Upgrade patch. It fixes a lot, but much is beyond repairing. I very rarely have games crashing on me but this one dumped me back to the desktop at least a dozen times when quicksaving. The controls manage to be both sluggish and flimsy. Also, again and again the "player model" froze and had to be reset by using the bow or dropping from a height or I'd float around unable to interact with anything. The patch removes loading zones from within levels but they are still tiny and cramped compared to previous games. The City hub in-between missions is just ridiculous with each district reduced to a couple of alleys full of criminals and cops operating literally next doors. This is a perfect example of a game that actually needs a remake. Cutscenes just need an upscale. It's entirely new and expanded missions based on what's here that's needed, in an engine that supports the gameplay of Thief rather than hinders it, while adding rope arrows and swimming back in. I'd only recommend this one if you've gone through Thief 1-2 and can suffer to appreciate the sometimes very nice ambience and see the story through, but Thief 3 is a terrible technical achievement and truly the sibling of Deus Ex 2.
