    Thief didnt age well in my opinion:
    The AI is very bad, sometimes it is even unrealistic and disturbs the immersion.
    The graphics engine is outdated, even with HD mods. The levels are big and complex, so you get lost often, what is frustrating. The map is not very helpful. The controlling is uncomfortable,if you search for an item in your inventory. But...the beginning of the game    Thief didnt age well in my opinion:

    But...the beginning of the game is great: perfect atmosphere and great setting. It is a great idea to play a thief exceptionally and not a hero again. in addition stealth games are interesting instead of the 38237rz32th shooter. Anyway I prefer Splinter Cell.    … Expand

    One of the most exciting first-person games to come out in years.

    A completely original, utterly captivating riff on the first-person action game. [Apr 1999, p.114]

    It's hard to find any fault when you have a fantastic story, unique gameplay, and good graphics and sound to back it up. It's difficult to even categorize it in any known genre.
