You can choose the difficulty , I chose normal and it's still a little hard to steal things without being noticed, you have to think before what you're doing and keep an eye on the movement of soldiers. The graphics are not spectacular, but they are beautiful. I ran the game with everything max, filters, etc, at 1920x1080 and rolled flat, the FPS ranged between 50 and 60. It took me almost 2 hours to get past the first mission , exploring every corner to steal as much as possible and trying not to be detected, which made me take more. About the negative reviews, including the "big sites", I was not disappointed to read before playing, and now I played I'm not unrepentant, as I said, I loved the game and I recommend for you that enjoy a good first-person stealth game. Ignore the reviews, play and give your own conclusion. That's it.… Expand

   Pros:
   Great stealth system, excellent sandboxing (you can go nearly everywhere all the time only unlocking new areas through accepting missions and story)
   Massive amount of things to loot
   Mystic, and the Glyphs are there though I´d like so see more of the "old school"
   Great graphics and story.
   
   Cons:
   Clumsy close combat (pressing R makes an attack)
   Too short :)
   I´m unsure how to gather 30000 gold in the game to purchase the most expensive trinket.… Expand

   I dont know if people are trolling or if they expected something way different of this game. The sorroundings are very gloomy and spookey. YouI dont know if people are trolling or if they expected something way different of this game. The sorroundings are very gloomy and spookey. You can feel how bad people are treated and forgotten, left to rot on the streets. The story is good but i have to say it takes a while before it starts. The loot are scattered in places that makes no sense. Like who puts a silver cup in the gutter? But that dosnt really matter to me. Personally i like stealth games. If people expected something brutal with epic guard slaughtering you are gonna be dissapointed. If i have to critizise something its gotta be the A.I. At one point i knocked a guard out cold and put him in an alley. Little did i know that another guard was standing right behind me. He started screaming and calling for more guards but after 30 sec he says "hmm probably was my imagination" Stupid move to hire a retarded guard. And i have to say the game can be rather linear sometimes. Other than that, GOOD GAME that dosnt deserve low ratings. Give it a try!… Expand

   The Thief franchise is one of my favourite stealth franchises, so when I heard about the next instalment, Thief, I was excited. So does thisThe Thief franchise is one of my favourite stealth franchises, so when I heard about the next instalment, Thief, I was excited. So does this game bring the franchise back to its former glory... Sort of. But I think the thing us gamers are most interested in is the stealth, which is flipping awesome! Even the slightest mistake could end in death, and to stay out in off the shadows is certain doom. This is all brought up by the fantastic level design, which gives the player almost life like amounts of freedom. In addition to this, the games graphics are amazing, they're even better than Battlefield 4! However, the games UI is awful, making it hard to select the weapon you want, resulting in some frustrating parts. Also, the AI is some of the worst I've ever seen! For example, at one point in the game I saw two guards, headshoted one of them, and the other one, standing right next to didn't even notice! WTF! And, the story is terrible, mainly because it tries to be more than it is. This is all hindered by Garret's appalling new voice actor, who never puts any expression into anything! If I was to judge thief purely on gameplay it would get a ten, but it's marred by so many technical issues that take you out of the immersion.… Expand

   I came into this game thinking that it would be great. I'm really into stealth games that have a great degree of difficulty, because I thinkI came into this game thinking that it would be great. I'm really into stealth games that have a great degree of difficulty, because I think the difficulty is what makes it immersive. I'm gonna start off by saying that that graphics, for the most part, are very well done. The map of the city is useless. Most doors are unable to be opened, which is terribly disappointing for a stealth game, and makes the game seem very linear. AI is abhorrent and provides no level of immersion whatsoever. You can look a guard dead in the eyes 5 feet away in the dark and he'll have no idea you're there. It's weird that the animal AI is made to be better than human AI. I like the fact that birds and dogs will be alerted at sudden movement or noise. I feel as though the human AI should act differently from one another, so one person would be more alert than another to movement in darkness or the slightest sound. That's what creates immersion for me. Moving on, the dialogue between guards and monologue of guards is pretty terrible. Walking around an area, you can hear the exact same dialogue multiple times. The voice acting is cheap and a weak attempt at creating a natural environment. The volume of said dialogues physically don't make any sense, and HUGELY break immersion. The fact that you can be facing a man standing 15 feet away from you and you hear his voice in surround sound defies the physics of sound. Another very important point, as this is the first of the franchise that I have played, I feel absolutely no emotions towards any of the characters (playing through about 4 hours), and I don't even know why I'm a thief. I have no set purpose in this game, and that's why this game bores me.… Expand

Two important thing in this game - surround sound, and other thing is that levels are broken when you can't go back to some places and find all the loot. You can't jump in many silly places or use rope arrows to go back for loot. Then ropes are placed by developer in many stupid places sometimes in front of guards. You must repeat levels many times. Even this can't help because you have counter for all loot to whole level and you don't know where to look. It's really frustrating. Maybe if you do not want to look for loot this game is for you but for me this is most important thing. And this is just first level !!!! I don't want to look further and lose my nerves. Game have many good things but the most important are broken. Sound is broken too. Many things you can't hear at all or you hear a person in building miles away from you and you thinks that person is standing in front of you. Sound is looping suddenly or disappears.… Expand

I was enjoying the game....
   Until I hit an actual boss fight (Yes in Thief!, next boss fight in Civilizations, Settlers or the Sims?) where you're not able to save at all.
   Considering I turned on a lot of options off to come closer to the real thief experience I find it impossible to continue the game.
   So after 7 chapters playing I found out that I should have kept those options on because Thief has turned into an action game with un-savable boss fights.
   Now I understand all those negative reviews.......R.I.P Thief franchise… Expand
