In what’s only ever referred to as ‘The City’, a gloomy metropolis ravaged by plagues and class wars, you play as legendary thief Garrett as he looks to make a living from the social disarray.
After accepting a routine job to steal a precious stone from a nearby mansion, he discovers that he’s not the only thief on the job, as a former colleague of his called Erin tags along. She goes about her business with profuse arrogance, taking needless risks, showing off and mocking Garrett’s ability at every turn.
It’s a combination of that self-importance and Garrett’s prior judgemental nature that costs her, though, as during the raid she plummets bang into the middle of a mysterious ritual that will change both thieves’ lives forever. Garrett tries his best to save her, but in doing so he gets caught in the ritual’s magical blast and loses consciousness. -
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.
