Foreboding atmosphere, superbly controls, complex gameplay systems, intricate graphics, exceptional storytelling, etc. Eidos Montreal have proven once again that their team has the chops to reboot a classic franchise after the incredible Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Thief is a Thief game for fans of the older titles. While some things have changed, 99% of it remains the same but better than ever. 10/10, well deserved! A masterful creation!… Expand

I dint enjoy this game as I thought I would. The voice acting was sub par for me and the game too linear. I felt driven in the one direction despite the odd dead end side quest. Graphics are quite nice but textures did pop on my ps3 version and it didnt blow my mind like The Last of Us or some of the other late releases on ps3.
   Fans of this series will either love it (cause its more thief) or hate it (cause its not as good as the old ones). This was my fist foray into the Thief franchise and I was left a little underwhelmed.
   Again its not to say its a terrible game, just not my type. Id suggest either waiting till the price drops and getting it in a bargain bin or merely trying out Dishonoured a they are quite similar,… Expand

You could play a mission and ace it, then replay it step for step the same and get killed constantly.this makes it an exercise in frustration, impossiblevto master and basically a game of luck, which sucks for whats meant to be a cakculated stealth game.then theres the technical issues, sound out of sync with horrible animated cutscenes and constant lag with constant loadingscreens, a convoluted map with no waypoint, more frustation as you spend more time trying to find routes ti wwindowsills than anything else in this game.do yourself a favour and pass on this one, or il swap you my copy for anything really.its such a shame, it cuda been great.… Expand

Thief takes away to much from the franchise to beThis game feels like a slap in the face for everyone who ever loved Thief and its story. Thief takes away to much from the franchise to be considered a 'Thief' game. The only factor that makes this a Thief game is Garret. No Hammers, no Pagans and no Keepers. All lore removed, just Garret remains. This game will probably appeal more to the mainstream than the oldschool Thief fans.… Expand

   I never played the original Thief game, so this very review is unbiased.

   For quite a long time I've been encountering some VERY critical reviews on new Thief game, blaming it for being oversimplified, short, casual and bland.
   
   Well, they were right.
   The plot makes completely no sense: it's too short to dive into anything aside from developing the prologue. No characters have ANY personality, Garret is very generic and even somewhat annoying and as cherry on top - the ending is a pure joke. Like, how is this even possible?
   Gameplay and visual design are very flawed as well. Thief is your typical generic 'dark' fantasy with forgettable landscapes and whole black-ness. Maybe there's something wrong with my TV, but I couldn't see a thing like 30% of the time.
   Gameplay is literally castrated Dishonored. Your only aim is to reach the end of the terrain with any means you like, but it suffers from lack of possibilities. You can either crouch to the finish or even SPEEDRUN right to your destination. You can't defend yourself, stealth is quite casual and bots are pretty stupid and riddles are that easy that any dumbass can solve all of them.
   The game gets old very soon. Music doesn't help either and electro dubstep thingy just makes it cringy.
   
   Technical condition is beyond good and evil - constant frame drops, audio glitches, missing cutscenes... Man, I literally saw a code line right after opening the game. How is this even possible?
   
   I bought this game for 2$ so I'm not really pissed off, but I suggest you to avoid playing this game - even if you have nothing else to play… Expand

   While it sounds ridiculous, but in Thief 2014, you *don't* even need to steal, at all... The game will anyway reward you at the end of each mission, so why bother? Nice, isn't it?
   The setting. Remember the old three Thief games? Ok, now forget them! Since Thief 2014 is a reboot, you will encounter *nothing* from the old ones. I mean Eidos Montreal has *totally* destroyed and erased everything that made Thief series so unique: Keepers, Pagans, Hammerites, Mechanists, Kurshoks, burricks, and hell - even zombies! Everything!
   The plot. Definitely the worst I ever met in video games. Just abominable! You still have some doubts? Ok then. Just try to watch the *bossfight* with Thief Taker General on YouTube and see for yourself. Yeah, *bossfights* in a *stealth* game.
   The audio. It's just disgusting. All NPCs have just two phrases, and several NPCs have even just *one* phrase. And you know what? These NPCs will repeat their "repertoire" till the kingdom come, with just *one* second interval. Sound propagation works so erroneously, so it was a real pain for me to understand where the sound came from.
   The protagonist. His new voice, by Romano Orzari, sounds so dull and boring! Instead, the old Garrett's voice, by Stephen Russell, was just brilliant! So if you still love Stephen Russell's voice as Garrett in Thief 1&2&3, you will absolutely be disappointed by Romano Orzari's voice in Thief 2014.
   
   Bottom line: it's a tasteless hack, so make yourself a favour and save your money for something really useful.… Expand
