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.

Bugs which do not impact gameplay can be forgiven – when they work against the core aspects of the game, they are far more egregious.

Thief passed me by in 2014. At that age, I wasn't such a fan of Immersive Sim games. But now, on the contrary, I try to find them in every possible way and it's getting harder every time. Thief is a bright representative of not a bad game of this genre. There is a good interesting gameplay, moderately implemented stealth and variability of passage. But everything else is done very mediocrely. The plot here is simple, linear and not intriguing in any way. It is written only to have a reason for the player to be in another big location in the sandbox and entertain himself. And here the Thief problem came out at a time when such gameplay is not sold. Plus, you can see that the project has not been brought to mind to the end. He was released as he was ready for 2014 and was not developed in any way. I hate Square Enix for that. They buried more than one franchise on this. Thief is a good game if you know what you're running it for, and not just want to play another game. This game is for a very narrow audience, which is also very capricious. Thief came out doomed in advance. But even more than 10 years after the release, you can enjoy it. The main thing is to look for what you need.

Underestimated game. Cool looks, great game play, animation, city, side quest, story is **** all other things are great!

One of the best action-stealth titles in years and the first serious contender for the “2014 Game of the Year” contest.

Thief is a decent game, however not as brilliant as expected. The game had some strange issues during the gameplay, although the atmosphere is still great. Nevertheless the game itself is not super, yet still decent enough with well thought out characters.

On the whole, Thief is a worthwhile entry into the stealth genre and genuinely better than many I've played, but it's hard to ignore the number of obvious things that it whiffs.

It all feels like a brilliant framework held back by a few unsavoury elements. The hub-based world and other problems would’ve been less apparent if there was actually a decent narrative to prop the game up, but instead we’re left with a half-baked tale that feels shallow and dissatisfying by the time you reach the end. Still, there is still plenty to be happy about here, with a wealth of great gameplay flares and a strong aesthetic.

In spite of the preconceived notions and occasionally frustrating execution, Thief provides an intriguing and occasionally exciting foray into the shadows. It’s an experience that ranges from exceptional to entertaining — despite being as closeted as it is, and there’s enough to justify delving in if you can ignore a majority of its elements in favor of its superb stealth.

This reboot is not a new but a soulless misinterpretation. It undoubtedly has its moments but they are outweighed by its petty mechanics and superficial treatment of the Thief heritage.

I had more fun making my way up to bed in the dark after playing Thief than I did at any point during its benighted trudge across The City.

Великолепная игра, сеттинг, атмосфера, сюжет. Смотреть на нее как на самостоятельное произведение.

Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience provided by Thief, a 40 hours platinum that was not too difficult but also not too easy. I appreciated the freedom of choice in deciding how to approach the missions, which could be completed either through stealthy maneuvers or more direct **** storyline of Thief is engaging, although I would have preferred deeper characterization of the characters. 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.

Özellikle hikayesini hiç ama hiç beğenmedim ne sürükleyici bir yanı var ne sonu tatmin edici şekilde bitiyor. 2 tane boss fight yapmaya çalışmışlar ancak oyunun yapısına hiç uygun değil diyebilirim. Aynı zamanda garip garip doğaüstü güçler eklemeye çalışmaları da çok saçma geldi. Oynanış olarak şehirde gezmek ve hırsızlık yapmak çok da eğlenceli değil. Sürekli aynı şeyleri yaparak nereye girdiğini veya girmen gerektiğini de bilmeden sürekli yükleme ekranlarıyla karşılaşarak kafayı yediğim zamanlar oldu. Elle tutulur yanı olarak çizgisel görev dizaynları bir tek hoşuma gitti gizli gözükmeden gitmeniz gerekiyor Aksi takdirde çok hızlı şekilde ölebiliyorsunuz. Elinizde varsa ucuza bulduysanız alıp oynayın derim.

i really have no idea how does games gets the approval of director / producer to be release or simply just meet the deadlines set by publisher... rushed ending which i'm still clueless at what it really **** obvious setup for sequel but i doubt it will receive the funding for it. this would have been a hit if done with care or more budget? disappointing thru n thru. Graphics just look to have better resolution texture and astonishing poorly optimised cutscenes, do they even watch/play it? Art Direction simply boring, it just look unpolished and it's like a demo for more funding Gameplay iits a pity as if they simply copy some of dishonoured and call it the "Thief" way. nothing innovative and the pathetic focus vision used by almost every other game. Best moments Chapter 5, totally came out of nowhere and unexpectedly effective but it doesn't blend with the game Thief at all. Wasted attempt, what a pity.
SummaryGarrett, the Master Thief, steps out of the shadows into the City. In this treacherous place, where the Baron’s Watch spreads a rising tide of fear and oppression, his skills are the only things he can trust. Even the most cautious citizens and their best- guarded possessions are not safe from his reach. As an uprising emerges, Garrett f... Read More
