Many years ago the Thief franchise really kickstarted the whole stealth action genre. Now we have the latest iteration – a reboot of the franchise that tries to combine what was so loved about the originals with modern gameplay mechanics. The result is a game that is filled with good ideas but who’s overall execution just feels lacking. The highlight of the game are its impressive visuals, but the inconsequential system of choice means that the gameplay is just simple puzzle solving in a pretty setting.
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!
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.
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.
