"Thief is a reboot of a game that is 16 years old. In fact, the original Thief: The Dark Project helped to pioneer stealth games as we know them. Even the beloved Metal Gear Solid used elements that were presented in that very game for its core structure. Thief as a series has continued to influence many games throughout the years, including the 2012 game, Dishonored, which heavily borrowed ideas from the franchise while adding its own twists. But sadly, This new Thief actually feels like a step backwards in the first-person stealth genre, and not in that old-timey, days of yore kind of way either." - PSLS
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.
Yikes. Doesn't surprise me tho
I'm still going to enjoy it. Unlocks at midnight on Steam!
OUCH!
"..cutscene dipped in framerate to what appeared to be 10-15 fps.."
Again this site made such a big deal when both framrates on each system was being compared. And here we are with another game getting more than average bad reviews. I wonder why these stories haven't made it to the top of the heat unlike the PS4/X1 framerate story did?
People suddenly don't care how the game actually is?
still got to give it a run
All that hype....
