    Thief' is sometimes adventure, sometimes stealth, but this lack of direction and mediocre story makes Thief a repetitive, but satisfying experience...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off I am going to go out on a limb and say most if not all the other reviewers on here have never played the original thief games. I have and above all else having played the originals is what really upset me about this new thief game. So let me first get this out of the way and say that if you are looking for me to comment on graphics and such please read elsewhere because to me graphics are a secondary to a story driven game such as thief.
    So to get it right out there initially I wasn't sure what to expect ... was this a continuation of thief or was it a reboot or retelling or reintroduction. After playing it is some kind of extremely weird hybrid. It completely does away with many of the supporting factions that were a major part of the thief games ... where are the keepers ... where are the hammerites .... where are the pagans .... not even really a mention of these influential groups of the past. Sure in one scene you see a hammer symbol and at some point he mentions the trickster but to those who have never played any other thief aren't you left wondering what are these symbols ... who is the trickster ... etc.... These key parts get NO explanation throughout the game.
    If you are in the category of never played another thief game ever how can you over look so many holes in the characters and story. Too many other reviewers are wrapped up in graphics and AI but the real issue is the poor development character and story wise. For example ... who is Garrett ... Who is Erin .... how do these two know each other. Why does Garrett care about Erin? Why does Garrett steal? where did he get his abilities? How did he come to live in a clock tower (which btw was destroyed in a previous game)? Why does Garrett have two different eyes .... how did he lose the eye ... where did he get the new one? Who is this trickster Garrett mentioned .... once? The list goes on and on and on it is extremely poorly developed. The previous games essentially played like a novel each building from the other and had connection between them. This is so far in left field it is neither a continuation nor is it really a reboot as I mentioned before some weird hybrid thing. Also Erin is a pain in the ass and to be brutally honest not worth saving. The zombies in the original games were awesome and frightening as well sometimes. The freaks as they are called which presumably replaced the zombies are just stupid over sensitive humans that just make stupid sounds.
    So I will touch on a few other things though and that is the side missions are more fun then the actual missions which is okay in my book but to often I found myself wondering .... why am I stealing all this stuff ... its only so I can afford the upgrades which at 2g a spoon or fork you are going to need to steal a lot of silverware. In this element it tries to force you to replay missions which to be honest there really is no other reason to play them as they are a bit boring at times and you get impatient and start doing stupid things causing you to restart the checkpoint and sit through another load screen. The layout of the city is horrendous. Other than the major exists you are never sure if a window you go through is a house or a exit to another part of the city you may not want to go to yet. In this day and age this city should have been completely open with no load screens between areas and a much better map situation because the one they gave is very confusing.
    To touch a little on game play it certainly isn't bad but it isn't great either. The best thing they added was the swoop which was the only thing that really made this game stand out the swoop is awesome.
    My advice would be don't buy this until it is around 20 dollars or just rent it. If you want achievements then this game is certainly manageable but it will take a bit of time to get them all. If you do not care about story at all or character development then you wont take issue with anything really in the game. To some other reviewers on here try to remember this is NOT halo or GOW or anything remotely like that ... you cant go in black jack a blazing and expect to take everyone out the game is slow paced and if slow isn't really your thing then move along.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Thief is not the worst game I've ever played, and it's not the best either.
    Thief was nothing what most people expected. Same here for me. Thief you play as Garret a master thief. Well he's a good thief that doesn't play exactly the way it should. The city is squishy, it's annoying to get around with little to do, other than the boring side missions that you're given. The weapons category is lowered to only 3-4 useable items throughout the whole game. Bow, and uhm the black jack. Yay... Well. the storyline is really awkward and unexplainable. Basically you almost know what's going to happen, and your thievery is going to the repetitive box soon. A couple good things I noticed with Thief is the graphics! The city is dull, and boring, nothing new. There is no magical experience throughout the game.. I'd pass unless you're a hardcore Thief fan.    … Expand

But the load times every five minutes really ruin the immersion. The graphics are decidedly last gen, the character models in particular being a major weak point. But the real true killer that nobody seems to be mentioning is how utterly unrealistic the stealth is. Without the meter telling you are hidden you could never tell. Many times you are standing right beside a lamp and the game tells you you're hidden, and other time inextricably you're visible. He AI is atrocious, often times I could avoid detection by just burying my nose away from the guard (of which btw there are only two different models). The audio has major bugs with nonsense of direction or volume changes depending on how far away characters are. The story is nonsensical and badly trying to be edgy and just coming across as dumb. Worst of all the design fights with itself. It wants to reward exploration and discovery but the random load screens that you can accidentally trigger make you wary of trying anything. In addition, by exploring to find stuff you invalidate a particularly stealthy entrance by backtracking to a different variation, meaning you do unnatural things in trying to find more loot. The game story which has urgency built in fights against the desire to find more stuff. Having the story provide motivation for the looting everywhere would have again provided a more immersive experience. There is a good game hiding in here, but baffling decisions that make the game feel very "fake" and frequent loads really rip you out of the experience turning this into a linear completion exercise rather thsn something to be savored.… Expand

    Thief in short is a disappointment to me which proves that graphics are not everything.

    The graphics look what i would expect from next gen mostly however things stick out at me which i cannot ignore such as: 1) All the shopkeepers are the same model. Very lazy when you consider this is a BLURAY and could easily fit far more models. 2) Members of the public are sparse, usually all    Thief in short is a disappointment to me which proves that graphics are not everything.

    The graphics look what i would expect from next gen mostly however things stick out at me which i cannot ignore such as:

    1) All the shopkeepers are the same model. Very lazy when you consider this is a BLURAY and could easily fit far more models.
    2) Members of the public are sparse, usually all repeats of previous citizens you saw and constantly utter the same lines over and over in a short period and gesture into nowhere as though they were talking to someone that isnt there
    3) Items of scenery which you would EXPECT to move if you walked into them such as chains and other hanging things....well....dont. Being a stealth game you would expect this to be an easy way to make a viable obstacle. Items such as hanging manacles are solid as brick walls.

    That aside the lighting effects and gloomy victorian look is excellent. However the above points detract from this and make the game seem lazy and rushed.

    The voice of Garret and his comments are well done and enjoyable to listen to. However that's where the good parts end, the NPC's dialogue is frankly embarrassing and often NPC's will repeat the same conversation over and over in the space of 10 or 15 seconds.

    A notable example is when 2 guards are discussing what happens to people on their 3rd offence in the city. The other guard replies they are hung whilst the other exclaims he figured they were tossed in jail. Give it 10 seconds and apparently the guard has had explosive amnesia and cannot remember what the punishment is and asks his friend again...and again and again.

    While not life changing when you consider it may take 3-4 mins to traverse the dark street unseen you get real tired REAL QUICK of hearing this. Again give this is a BLURAY there is no worry of disk space as far as i can tell so how much trouble would it of been to add a pool of 20-30 stock sayings guards could utter to each other?

    The trailer for the game brags about PLANNING YOUR ROUTE. Alas the different routes you can take are superficial and often lead to the same bottlenecks.

    Parts of the game are obviously lifted from Tomb Raider made also by SquareENIX (E.g. the rope arrow can ONLY attach to special areas designated by a plank with rope wrapped around....remarkably .... NO exactly like the one from tomb raider)

    Come on SquareENIX i expected more of you than to copy and paste between games.

    Stealing items is almost comical. Garret must have some very deep pockets lined with something special. After 10 hours of playing the game i think i must of stole over 50 each of spoons, forks, knives, scissors, picture frames, cups etc.

    Garrett is evidently not the master thief he used to be and is resorting to getting rich through sheer attrition of stealing the cities cutlery. When you open drawers etc to find objects it seems a bit "weird" to find a single fork in the drawer.

    It would of been better i think to make the drawer look full of stuff and for garret to take the fork from amongst in a show of "rummaging"

    Stealing off guards is largely pointless as they either have almost nothing or you have to knock them out ANYWAY to proceed in which case your awarded the contents of their wallets.

    The side missions are fairly entertaining and lead you around most of the city quite well however the city is not nearly as big as the trailer leads you to believe.

    The main missions are interesting however some sketchy AI leads guards to literally stare at one area after being alerted once limiting your options from there on.

    The swoop mechanic whereupon you can move between areas of shadow and light rapidly is fun however when in large areas of darkness it seemingly goes off at random. Not good if your near to a guard and about to blackjack him and just SWOOP out in front of him.

    Guards are tough and scary. As they should be as Garret is not known for being a tough guy.

    All in all the game feels unfinished and amateurish and not what i would expect from Eidos/SquareENIX at all ESPECIALLY after how great tomb raider was.

    I really WANT to like this game but it feels more of a time passer to me presently at the end of chapter 3.    … Expand

For those that use a rental service (GameFly, Redbox) are probably the ones getting the best deal since you may not find yourself coming back to replay Thief once you've completed the main quests. There are other things to do outside the primary plot, but only those gamers that have a stronger acceptance of this game than the norm will care to venture outside frequently enough to merit higher time investments with this just-OK game.… Expand

    While its not a fluid or as intricate as thief games of old, it is still a solid game but the replay value is low for me. The visuals are great and the challenge is there although the difficulty is uneven between chapters with some being overly easy and others suddenly crushingly difficult at moments - and that is true even within chapters.

    Although it is possible to play three different ways - Ghost (completely unseen), Opportunist (use of environment to make your way through) and Assualt? (can't recall the style for beating down everyone in the game with your weapons) - there is not enough interest to make me want to try a level a different way.

    The gameplay is very repetitive, however it doesn't really get boring since you are well rewarded for being thorough.

    At first I thought it was a direct rip off of "Dishonored" then I realized Dishonored was a rip off of the original thief, but either way the games are very similar, the only real difference is you are an assassin in Dishonored and a thief in Thief. If you liked the original Thief or Dishonored, this isn't really a problem, its a good thing (more of what you like).

    The skills are useful and not just thrown in there like some games (cough, Far Cry 3, cough).

    Originally I though the game was a 9 but it's more of a 5. It works well but it's missing a massive amount of content. For paying $59.00 you should have received a free season pass. Seriously Eidos! It reminded me a lot of Ryse without the graphics and daylight of course.

    The map is small. The entire map could have been one large area. Why they needed load screens I've no idea.    Originally I though the game was a 9 but it's more of a 5.

    The map is small. The entire map could have been one large area. Why they needed load screens I've no idea. The Unreal engine may have had a part to play. There are techniques to deal with huge maps. Perhaps it's all the non-interactive items in the environment. (Wagons, crates, oh my) Windows needing button clicks made no sense when the wood piles just allowed you to move on through.... and wait for it... Gave you a load screen!

    Playing Assassin's Creed Black Flag you realize how much more could have been done here. It's necessary to compare that game because you can do everything in Black Flag that you can do in Thief. I can climb any wall without a plot device. I can climb any obstacle for that matter. Focus is the same thing as Eagle Vision.

    I didn't mind the story at all. I did mind how linear the game ended up being. Thief suffers from a lack of creativity. It's an on rails shooter. Point A to Point D where B and C are your options. Actually beating the game makes it into a better game. The world opens up. But at that point I felt no benefit to re-exploring the world. I'm sure there will be speed runs recorded and glitches found to get past the loading screens.

    Pedestrians are robotic which is nothing new to video games. No real interaction is possible with them other than the obvious. Guards and their fanny packs of fun, pet birds, and dogs just cry out unfinished! The voices are too loud. So I'm over hearing a conversation down the street which sounds like it's 3 feet away.

    Micro Transactions are offensive! You don't need them. Eidos had time to include Micro Transactions but not fully fill out the game?

    Finally synopsis, I beat it and I traded it. I was fortunate that I had Best Buy's Gamer's Club Unlocked. Paid $47 and got around $43 back.    … Expand

    Un juego de sigilo que tengo que decir que me ha sacado un poco de quicio en su momento, tengo que empezar así porque es raro que no me haya conseguido pasar un juego que he empezado.
    Me desespera que te tengas que aprender el mapa porque si no tienes que repetir misiones por según tú vayas del mapa inicias misiones, cosa muy muy rara. Intentaré sacar los puntos buenos y malos:

    Vamos por parte.

    + Gráficamente para ser del 2014 se ve bien y tiene muy buena ambientación.

    - La historia ya otra cosa es un bajón grande, ya que parece un poco precipitada todo.

    - La Jugabilidad es una mala copia de los Assassins creed y encima está bastante capada, La IA es muy torpe y nuestro personaje parece bastante pesado.

    - Tiempos de carga muy muy largos

    Conclusión creo que es un juego muy desaprovechado por decisiones estúpidas, que si no te importan tanto quizás disfrutes.    … Expand

    I played it too long ago. It felt like a good stealth video game to me.....

    Thief stumbles in some areas, but purely as a stealth game it does have some shining moments.

    Satisfying gameplay mechanics and excellent environments and sound design meet an unsound technical production, irritating and overly repetitive character dialogues and a lacklustre enemy AI. Stealth games lovers will still find good elements in the new Thief, but it isn't the triumphant return we'd hoped it would be.

    And therein lies the game’s real issue. Whereas Dishonored (which does feel like Thief’s more charismatic and popular older brother) and Mark of the Ninja have toyed with established hide-and-seek mechanics and shown that there are still ideas to mine in this genre, Thief just sticks to the shadows.
