    Some things were missed, some things were done beautifully. The ending left the impression that the story was not fully told. But as for a new player to this world, it was great for me.

    I really liked it. It was hard to get used to the FirstPerson view, but I liked the many side quests and other different options. What wasn't good is the free roam part. You could easily get lost on the map. It was pretty frustrating. I liked the story too, although it wasn’t a whole story.

    The Thief series is one of my favorite stealth games.
    The 2014 installment is my personal favorite.
    +Great graphics (Unreal engine did a perfect job)
    +Story
    +Tools
    +Game mechanics
    +Lockpicking
    +Challenges
    +Playstyle score
    +Great setting
    +Open world
    There is only one very small con,i prefer opening doors manually instead of Garrett doing it.
    But its still a great game.

    It's good game, but it's not good thief.
    It's brand is it's curse. Play it as a nameless game and you will have your fun. Play it as a next thief and you are going to feel bad.
    It's not thief [insert next number]. It's new game with new gameplay inspired by thief. Definitely more than actual user score (5.9).

    Thief 4 is overall a good game. I LOVE stealth games, especially when it take place in a broken down, gloomy , 1800"s world. I love the atmosphere, i love that you have to stay hidden in order to progress. Well, not HAVE to but it makes the game so much better and you arent a good fighter anyway. I also like the side quests, exploring and just go in whatever direction my nose points at to see what i might find.
    What could have been better is the map system, it can be very confusing sometimes. There are different levels on the map and combined with when entering a new area, it is confusing to say the least.
    As far as the story goes..Well it could have been better. Voice acting is not the best and who the fukk dropped all that cash all over the town? Things like that dosnt really matter to me. Its a fantasy world where nothing seem to make sens.
    And i love it.    … Expand

    No cool factions, no hammerites, no pagans, burricks and lobstermen replaced with dogs and birds. It's not cool with kids if modern game doesn't have doge.
    Freeform climbing and rope arrow usage replaced by scripted dev-approved location movement only. Combat

    The way I see it, The games perfectly fine. Not once have I found a glitch, or an exploit, but I do know this: Whatever is stopping you from liking this game must be either 1:You just don't like the series, or even played it so it would look bad, or 2: You computer must be very slow, so it won't run very fast

Stealth, loot, and no killing...after all; the mark of a good thief is nobody knowing you were there in the first place which makes killing irrelevant. If one approaches this game from a twitch/FPS playing perspective, they will most likely wind up disappointed; which is where I suspect many of the poor reviews come from.

    The story of Thief leaves a lot to be desired. its does it job but never surprises you. gameplay is pretty good all i care is feeling like a Thief and it does that...thats enough for me.
    you get multiple ways to approach a mission but still somewhere it feels little linear compared to Deus-Ex Human Revolution..
    The enemy A.I is quite good infact excellent and very smart..
    apart from the main mission you got various side missions as Thief is a semi-open world where you can ignore the main mission and explore the city and steal or eves-drop or do some side missions for various characters.but the map system in this game is terrible so you may have problems getting used to it
    Graphically this game is good as it very well captures the look and the vision of the developers.
    The sound is good quite atmospheric but not as memorable as it was in Thief deadly shadows
    overall this game is good...maybe not as great as its predecessors but if you compare it to other games coming out,its definitely worth it.
    If you loved Deadly shadows ,pick this up,you wont regret it
    If you despised Deadly shadows,don't think you will love this one
    But if you want a good stealth game...you should definitely buy this !!    … Expand

    Well, after reading a lot of reviews I went ahead and bought Thief during Steams summer sale. I figured for $15.00 it wouldnt be that big a loss if the negative reviewers were correct.

    My gripes - Town is too linear. I would like a bit more openness and the ability to travel across the town districts in an open world setting. Not a big fan of the loading screen moving between districts.
    Also while Garret has a decent arsenal, the use of much of it feels a bit too scripted and somewhat limited. for example Rope arrows are cool but I rarely find a "designated" place to use them. more of an open world could fix that.

    Other then that I really like it. I like slower paced strategy stealthy games like this anyway . Also I have never played the earlier Thief games so I didnt have any preconceived ideas of how I thought this game should be..    … Expand

    Cons: Some major issues with the climbing. What's with forcing the player to climb only certain object. That was a big mistake. The developers should really be looking a Dishonoured. Once you've played the competition this game feels like it is being held back. Trying to be something it is not allowed to be.

    This game is not for old thief fans. The level design is lackluster the sound design is off and there's a lack of good humour and a good story. But, for people like me who want to get into a true stealth game that looks down on combat, then this is for you.

This is a walk down memory lane for me and as victim to reminience I recently loaded up the old thiefs to hark back to the old days and found my memories were far more golden than the gameplay itself. Age has not been kind, graphically, to the old series. This new thief iteration captures the soul of the old series and injects some much needed modern nuiances such as the swoop ability. Yes the AI can be fickle but if searchers were as keen as reviewers seem to shout about there would be quite a few broken controllers. Gamers have plenty of options to keep them busy and feel the pinch of nostalgia. I'm happy with the outcome and would fully support Eidos continuing the series.… Expand

    Excellent game, just like the original Thief games. Finally a 'true' stealth game, especially on the Master or custom difficulties you really have to play it pure stealth which is great compared to other 'wannabe' stealth games out there today. Together with Dishonored this is a true gem, definitely recommended!
