From Strategyinformer.com: "Despite calling the Thief titles my favourite gaming series, I honestly believed that Thief 4 (from Deus Ex: Human Revolution developer Eidos Montreal) was going to be cancelled. It had to be next-gen at this point which would increase the costs, and historically despite being brilliant the series had a very niche appeal – a pure stealth game set in a medieval fantasy universe that over three games had killed two well-respected developers? It was a risky proposition to bring Thief back, but I was overjoyed to see that Square Enix decided to take that risk and run with it into full Next Generation reboot territory. Today I got to see the game running for the first time. To say I was excited would be like saying a burrick has a slightly gassy stomach or The Cradle isn’t really a good place to leave your kids – a gross understatement".
From outer space to stealing in Europe, The Epic Games Store has two free games you might like.
The Thief game series has had many ups-and-downs, and 2014's reboot showed a great deal of promise nearly a decade ago.
This would be such a great franchise to reboot. A darker game than Dishonored, but focused around stealth and large scale heists from an oppressive monarchy.
That's probably my dream game. I love immersive sims and stealth!
People say they hate forced stealth sections in games. But a game focused on stealth with good mechanics and level design feels refreshing from the guns blazing games which I also enjoy. I really enjoyed playing Splinter cell, a game that not many try to mimic today. Not too many games let you shoot lights out, or throw cans or bottles to distract guards. Sure there are games with stealth options like the new Wolfenstein but it doesn't feel necessary to play it that way. Hitman might be the only game that has that feeling, except for that Korean game that may or may not ever come out.
The last one was a trainwreck and has been in the bargain bin since just after launch. If they bring it back, they need a massive change in direction.
only direction they should take is putting it in reverse and going back to what the originals did. I couldn't finish this game, and I made a choice to never play it again. I watched a video about the og Thief and Deus Ex games and the current AAA standard will forever hold back these games. These 2 games alone had already solved so many problems with modern gaming that I don't think they'll get a chance at something great unless they're made by a dev that actually give a damn.
Jesus the last installment sells at about 2 euro and even that is over paying for it. Absolutely diabolical game
The online retailer Fanatical has not one but four new game bundles that should interest PC gamers.
