Luke Cobham and SlasherJPC tag-team Thief in this SpawnFirst Mega-Review: "The Thief series has always been about one thing, stealth. Using the shadows as an extension of your own skin, sweeping past guards and enemies with a foot of space in between you, knowing that if they spot you you’re done for. If you can’t be patient, if you can’t sit still and watch your surroundings, you will die. It’s as simple as that."
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.
"If you are expecting Assassins Creed or Dishonored-style game play where you can dispatch enemies like Master Chief shooting grunts with a chain gun, you are in for a miserable experience. Aside from that, Thief is an amazing game. Buy it while it's hot before people spoil the story for you. It's as dark and deep as The Master Thief himself. Oh, and don't forget to put your thinking cap on."
This was a great review. The author understands what Thief is really about.
Oh, I also really agree on the point about using headphones. It makes a nice difference in this game.
This review is much more in line with how I feel about the game. It has some issues, glitches, but overall I love the gameplay and I'm having a blast playing it...I think that while many of the harsh reviews have some points...they are being TOO harsh. My only REAL complaint is the Map, I wish it labeled where you have been better, and I wish that it marked the location of Chapter Starts. Oh well....
No this game blows and that's why its been getting these bad reviews, your best bet is to wait till you can rent it or a huge price drop!!
