Isaac Wagner: "Thief, the recently released reboot of the acclaimed stealth franchise, makes the art of thievery its primary concern. It knows the pleasure one feels in the hungry, outstretched hand, ever reaching for the next big score, that mythical unobtainable treasure. It knows the satisfaction one feels in hiding in the darkness, gazing out into the world of light and civilization and law, planning your next strike to spit in its face by taking its precious artifacts away from it. It knows the joy one feels by leaping from rooftop-to-rooftop, utilizing various equipment to navigate man's world, swooping in from unsuspected places to complete your elaborate heist. Most importantly, Thief knows that stealing shit is fun."
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.
A very good video review and highly comprehensive. Please keep them coming. If I could add any advice I would say stay away from the foul language as its really not needed and unnecessary but other than that great work.
