Mar 9, 2014Square Enix is doing a bad job with the franchises they don`t build from the beginning.
e.g. Boss fights, you can ghost on all lvls too linear, glitchy.
Im not a fan, but it didn't catch me as other Thief games. A very simpe soulless game. -
Aug 8, 2015It has some worthwhile moments, but it never reaches the heights of its predecessors and I never felt invested in the story. I found the missions a lot more enjoyable than navigating around the 'city' with its lifeless inhabitants. I feel it would have been a better game if they'd dropped that part completely and concentrated on creating more interesting missions like in the original.

Mar 25, 2014Boring plot set in a tiny city.
Had regular frame rate drops
Not a bad game per se, but if you enjoyed the original series it would probably be best to avoid this one
If you HAVE to buy it rather wait for it to go on sale -
Mar 10, 2014Not a terrible game, but glitchy and not the game for long-time followers of the thief franchise. turn off all help options and choose the highest difficulty and it feels like a far better game.

Mar 24, 2015Totally generic and uninspired. It tries to copy so many other games that it completely fails to make its own identity. The setting interested me and, initially during the prologue, the looting interested me. That's it. Everything else was a disappointment. There's absolutely no reason to play this travesty when you can get Dishonored instead.

Apr 1, 2014Well last good thief was thief 2, but this game is really the worst thief game. It has some interesting ideas, but almost every part of this game is sub par. The world looks nice at first, but after a while you will notice how badly done it is.

Apr 23, 2014Thief isn't polished enough , I'm hacking thru it as I got it free . It's clunky ,falls short on its story and well just isn't quite there . I was very tempted to buy this for the xbox , I'm glad I didn't . I would've been very disappointed .
don't bother ! -

Jun 8, 2015WOW i was impatient and all since it's a so long time i awaited the sequel from the last one of the serie. Oh my *** gosh it looks like a console game !!?? It feels like too, and oh wait it's made for console, right?
Totally scripted and BORING I didn't even passed the second level. Hop trashcan. SO deceived. I'm gonna reinstall thief 2 and try the fan missions instead. complete lost of time. -

Mar 3, 2014If you have never played the earlier Thief games and you like simple gameplay, few choices and a low budget plot you may enjoy this game. However if you have played and enjoyed the earlier games you will feel outraged, cheated and generally very disappointed. Either way aim to pay no more than at the most 50% of its retail price.

Mar 27, 2014Most worst screenplay ever! Game is not so bad, but "genius" of Rhianna Pratchett crosses all. Enough relaunches of good old games. Eidos should hire a good scenarist and develop new titles.

Mar 4, 2014I really didn't like this game. It's buggy and annoying to play. You don't really understand the story. There are some places where you should be able to climb but you can't. There is no different ways to play the levels. Etc, etc. This game fails to do what it was made to.

Mar 9, 2014The game is very boring if you ask me. It doesn't have a good story and gets very repetitive and boring as all you do is just keep stealing random stuff.

Jul 9, 2016The game graphics are just nice enough!
The characters are really ugly!
The gameplay is bored and make me uncomfortable and cramped.
Killing people or guard is not interested. Why don't they give us a bow or knife which can do damage to people.
This is a failure of "assassin game"! -

Mar 15, 2014The worst disappointment ever. Awful AI, a incredibly dull story without any logic, characters as expressive and lively as a graveyard. No free play at all. No searching for a own approach. And no fun. And this c*** i have been expecting eagerly for nearly ten years? Shame on you, Square Enix.

Pelit (Finland)May 11, 2014Not the best brand relaunch ever, but forgetting the great predecessors, it's a decent game of its own. [March 2014]

Hyper MagazineApr 9, 2014It may not be a traditional Thief game and the story may be awful but there's still some great stealth to be had. [May 2014, p.66]

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Apr 7, 2014This new Thief does a lot things right but can still be rather clumsy at times. Definitely worth trying, though. [Issue #240]
