Thief simply titled is the fourth entry in the Thief stealth game series. After many years, this title has finally been revived once again by Eidos Montreal with the next entry in the series. Should the series have stayed quiet, or does this entry the next big groundbreaking stealth title?
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 aren't going to do it right, don't do it. All this poo has done is destroy the name of a once good series.
Agreed. I've finished this game already on master level difficulty and was pretty disappointed all round.
I'm an old school Thief player and this release was buggy, the AI sucked, The plot was cliche, boring and lame (save the girl, save the world? Oh ffs!). The game mechanics blew and were repetitive. Most of the game was on rails, you can't even fire a rope arrow except in a designated area, The 'escape' scene was lame and the game ending was as anti-climactic as it gets.
This game is a blight on the franchise & honestly, I regret buying it.
I really wanted to give this game a go and I played through 12 hours to try and stretch it out, but the game just never got better. If anything, it got worse. By the end, I wanted to literally throw the game disk out the window.
Only thing I'm glad of is the fact I've finished playing this and will not feel the need to play it again.
If you're a traditional thief franchise lover, prepare to be disappointed. This game is a turd. A polished turd, but a turd none the less.
Avoid.
This is one of those games you either love your hate. I've had my issues with it, but it's not terrible. It could just do with some refining. But as I mentioned, stealth games haven't evolved much, and they pose little challenge so it seems. Thief is worth playing, just don't expect it to blow you away.
