    Likes:

    - swooping is cool.
    - stealing from other people.
    - the story was weird but interesting.

    Dislikes:
    - Combat is a joke. You bring a bludgeon to a sword fight. What sense does that make! I get that Garrett is a thief but trying to hit someone over the head with a bludgeon several times while the enemy is swinging their sword at you is really unfair. What i don't get is that he is able to kill enemies with an arrow, but yet he does not have any other melee weapon on him except the bludgeon in which i don't know maybe him having a knife on him would've made more sense!
    - When in enemy is sitting in a chair and you take him down, the animation of the enemy is the worst i have ever seen! They sort of just flop.
    - I wish you could loot arrows from enemies which would've made my life much easier.

    Misc:
    - Dialogue is cheesy at times, but didn't really bother me like it would others.
    - Enemies are really dumb.
    - This game kind of has an Evil Within type of feel at times when Garrett has a voice inside of his head and also when he goes from one environment to another.
    - This game can be extremely brutal to you if you are low on resources as during Chapter 7 and 8 i was low on everything and died A LOT!
    - The fight against the Thief Taker General is real unfair when you are low on resources. And once again you are stuck with a bludgeon while he has exploding arrows and a sword. Took me about 30 minutes if not more to defeat him.

    This game is pretty straight forward and had the same concept as other stealth games, but had a different approach and for me it worked. Overall i enjoyed the game.    … Expand

    Sure it isn't groundbreaking or the best stealth game nor the best thieves. The game is disappointing for thief fans and other gamers and I can see why. It has a lot of wasted ideas and sure it could had been better but it was for me a good enough introduction to the franchise and made me like the original better

    This game is a little less linear than it's predecessors but the gameplay sticks to a working formula and doesn't over complicate things. You find yourself in a free roam city hub containing gates to the more linear story chapters - with plenty to do in between.
    The graphics and lighting are more than adequate and of course play a huge role, and the sounds and dark medieval environments in general are well done.
    On a standard PS4 the loading times are excellent, if a little too frequent. A serviceable save system also helps.

    The negatives?
    It took me a while to warm to the movement.. The controls are not customisable and the way you interact with edges is not always consistent.
    The puzzles you love to hate from the original are still here. Don't be afraid to look up the solution, there's plenty more game to enjoy.
    Finding your way can be tricky with the multi leveled environments and a very average map but that is something we have come to expect from the series.

    Good action stealth is hard to find so I think this is still worth recommending at a sneaky 7.5/10 Stars.
    If you've played a Thief game before try starting on a higher difficulty - and if you're not the patient type then tiptoe around this one.    … Expand

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

The story unfolds coherently, but at times it can be somewhat predictable. I encountered some technical issues during my 2 playthroughs. I experienced occasional bugs and frame rate drops that affected the gameplay experience. Fortunately, these issues did not completely compromise the overall enjoyment. I highly recommend to try it to genre enthusiasts. Despite some technical problems, the immersive atmosphere, solid gameplay mechanics, and well-designed missions make this adventure worth experiencing. With its intriguing world of theft and infiltration, Thief offers a satisfying experience for those who relish the thrill of moving in the shadows.… Expand

I had enough fun with these things that I'm giving it a relatively average score, because the downsides of this game were striking.

    The story itself was mundane, and that's a major thing for me in games. The protagonist was... well, lame. I think they were going for an anti-hero thing but he ended up just being uninteresting. He didn't seem to have any discernible personality beyond stealing things and brooding and I'm still confused about his actual motivation through the game. I think his motivation might actually have just been to steal stuff. He did say at one point when asked about it "It's who I am" which is the kind of dumb answer you'd expect from a teenager after getting an ugly tattoo on their face, not from a middle-aged man who's seen the ugliest side of life up close and personal. So no hook there. The climax of the game felt very lacking as well. Our villain didn't play a strong role and I saw him coming from a mile away, and our damsel was just there to provide some personal motivation to our middle-aged teen. It all just felt very lackluster.

    And then there's the combat. I like the option of being a murderous backstabby little thing in my stealth games but that just wasn't here. Not only could you not kill people, but when you did fight it felt like clubbing a snowman to death. They'd react to your initial hit and then to none of the subsequent ones until their animation was done. Clunky doesn't begin to describe it.

    And, the biggest gripe for me was the Thieftaker General. He did fine as an antagonist, but that bloke popped up everywhere. At the end of every level he was somehow there to remind me that he existed. The worst was when I found a secret room in a building that was on fire and under siege and he somehow showed up to step on my fingers and glare at me.

    P.S. Note to game designers. It is bad form to set me up as a super-stealthy master thief only to have me be discovered by cutscene.    … Expand

The City is full of optional things to do and see, which quite surprised me. Don't get me wrong, it was a pleasant surprise but it could have been introduced better. This game was obviously built with last gen systems in mind which would be fine if the PS4 and Xbox One didn't have the same loading blocks the PS3 and 360 are plagued with. Another issue I have is a lack of support for someone who likes combat. You can do standard sneak takedowns, but once you're spotted it's a matter of mashing one button and dodging. Even then, you are quick to die and it's clear as day this is a game you are meant to play stealthily. All i'm saying is a few extra animations or an option to boost your combat skills like you can Stealth or Agility would help. The game desperately tries to stay true to the original games, but in the age of games like Dishonored and Assassin's Creed that do what this game does and miles better, I would only recommend it if you want a pure stealth game. I say it's a love it or hate it situation. Give it a try, but don't expect to be blown away by anything.… Expand

    A game that barely lives up to the expectations of a classic Thief fan, though as a difficult stealth game, a blast to play through.

    Characters are underutilized, especially Madam Zhao Zhao, who I was expecting to play and important role in the story, but only makes it for a couple of letters and cut scene in which she/he didn't even get to interact with Garret.
    The villains are laughably evil, aside from the Baron , who at least has a bit of characterization with his motives.

    Gameplay is extremely tense at times, but controller snapping frustrating, especially the very much out of place two final boss battles at the end which are almost impossible if you were to collect all loot without being detected.
    Levels are unoriginal most of the time, aside from the excellent Bank Heist mission, which has been taken out for a preorder bonus.

This game couldn't be more average, I can see glimpses of awesome but quickly phase in and out like the amount of fun you will have playing this game. One extremely annoying feature is that nothing is seamless or labeled on your map, its a marker and with out it you would be totally lost as to where your mission/side mission is. I find myself entering rooms/buildings more then 3 times, unless I care to try to remember that I already have... to old and lazy at this point people, you enter a place should have a color code or label stating so. Entering another portion of the game, requires you to load, which I don't mind if the game warned you, there has been more then a few times where I say "oh, ill get that safe later" and open the window to see what is ahead, only resulting in a load time, and no way of returning until way way later if you want to reduce the mission. The game is tedious at best, if you want to really have a sneak and steal experience buy Skyrim. Please keep in mind I have never played a Thief game before this is purely a first time observation. I would wait till this game goes on super sale, but by then Thief 2 will be out which hopefully they address this game that the genre has merely no competition in.    … Expand

Now speaking of the city, yes it does look pretty but it feels like its always a touch away, By that I mean you cant explore all the city the way you would like as alot of it eats up time with the loading and other parts just cant be accessed.

    The story is not as bad as some make out and neither are the characters. I actually thought the voice acting was good in general but the ending is out of the blue and the game finished way to soon.

    There were many parts in this game I really enjoyed but there just wasn't enough. The side missions were very bare to say the least and there isnt much play back appeal.

Body awareness: You can see garret's hand open doors, you can view his feet walking along and even see his shadow, something found on very few first person games. You can lean over edges to look down without falling and automatically jump when running. Fighting guards takes careful dodge and attack timing but you are a thief, not a fighter which makes this a good feature overall in that you can fight some in the face of death but not well. Lots of variety in loot to steal from rings, pendants and frames to gold spoons and plaques. Running is exhilarating and fun. The weather is a nice touch, from lighting storms to falling rain with the latter being very well done however only done during a particular part of the game.
    -------
    THE BAD:.......
    Guards talk to themselves repeating odd things over and over like "Hope I sleep tonight". Now multiply hearing that by 200 and you'll want to murder them all. Sound location issues were never fixed thanks to Square laying the team off. The city is laid out specifically for the player which means it bares no reality, in other words the city was not built in a realistic fashion to support a community, it's only there for the players sake alone. Dead end streets, boxes hiding pathways...etc. Structurally, the city makes no sense. It's convoluted. Breaking into apartments often yields you with 1 or 2 small rooms and no way to explore other rooms behind the fake doors, also most all apartments are devoid of life, not even a sleeping dweller. So there is no reason to sneak around when doing most side missions.-------THE UGLY:......Guards and NPC's just pace systematically like robots. The town still feels devoid of life, you could pretend it's because of the plague but even still it's very limited. It's like the entire game is a setup on stage for you to make your way through with little deviation and logic. The story...it's terribad. You won't care about it nor any of the characters as they don't have much personality what little you hear from them. Basically you're out to find the truth of what happened to Erin who happens to have fallen to the demise of her own arrogance and stupidity with no reason as to why Garret nor the player should care. ----------VALUE: $10 unless you really enjoy stealth games then $30 is a steal, don't pay much more for it than that....however, the game will provide at least 10 hours of decent enjoyment until you get tired of it unless you enjoy stealth enough to beat the game despite the flaws.------Hope you enjoy my good,bad,ugly reviews.    … Expand

    7/10

    Sound Effects:
    The sound effects in the game are really bad they did the less work on it you can barley hear the bad optimized effects through the game sometimes you'll never here them however the acting voices were nice and well done.
    6/10

    Gameplay:
    The gameplay gets old and repetitive by the pass of time doing the same things over and over
    Jumping,Lock picking,Stealing and killing or taking down enemies are all used in the game nothing more.
    5/10

    I was hoping this game would be a good stealth-action game, or kind of like Assassin's Creed. I was totally wrong.

    The graphics are really bad. And the voice acting is even worse. Many characters do not display emotions or move their mouths accurately to correspond with the specific words. The controls were awful and the antithesis of fluid. Overall, it wasn't the worst game I have    I was hoping this game would be a good stealth-action game, or kind of like Assassin's Creed.

    Even the guide for Thief says the map design is terrible. The lack of fast travel makes navigation tiresome. It was difficult to figure how to reach certain windows. In Dishonored, there were 3-4 clear ways of reaching a destination. Thief could have been great, honestly, but the in-game map is hardly useful and there is a ridiculous amount of collectibles that they expect you to searchEven the guide for Thief says the map design is terrible.

This installment of Thief will always be rightfully overshadowed by Dishonored.… Expand

    The stealth mechanics are great however the ending is very bad. The build-up was so good however the ending was so anti-climactic.

    The stealth mechanics are amazing and I fully enjoyed sneaking around certain environments and maps, especially in the city. The map design for this game is very good and accompany's the stealth elements very well with dark alleyways and other dark nook and    The stealth mechanics are great however the ending is very bad.

    The biggest problem for this game is every stealth game that has come since Thief: the Dark Project. Thief can’t match the visual flair and supernatural powers of Dishonored. It doesn’t have the lean efficiency and murderous creativity of the Hitman series; it trails the razor’s edge stealth and gadget lust of Splinter Cell; it lacks the vision and bombast of the Metal Gear series. Hell, it doesn’t even have a very good thief.

    The return of the master thief Garrett is a mixed bag. Thief builds on its series proud heritage of tactile stealth, focusing on realism but loses some of the way to modern design trends. Thief has some unnecessary padding that smooth out the gameplay as well as some cinematic ambitions that do not reach all the way. Above all, it is plagued by qualitative valleys that appear to be a result of a stressed launch. Nevertheless, Thief gets a weak recommendation because the basic formula is still fun and somewhat unique.

    A nail-biting experience needing a few more coats of polish to stand out. [April 2014, p76]
