"A city full of closed doors and dead ends, boxed in and lined with nothing but rough edges: That's Thief.P
It's hard to know quite where to begin with a shambling mediocrity such as this. It's a game that could have been great and is instead a lumpy, frumpy disappointment, outclassed on all sides by its contemporaries and struggling mightily for a foothold in a world that's moved on to better things."
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.
And a 6.8 from IGN! Wow, I am totally surprised by the games recently. I don't even want to look.
One of my favorite games was Castlevania: LOS and now Lords of Shadow 2 is getting low scores as well. Come on developers. Don't ruin a good thing! Devs rarely get this opportunity to work on such well-established IP's!
Thief isn't worth it and here's why:
1. A hub world with near-constant loading screens like Deus Ex 2.
2. Special arrows really only work in contextual situations placed by the developers.
3. No jump, you have to use contextual climbing.
4. Very linear level design.
5. Game is designed around crutches like Focus Mode and the ability to dart 15 feet ahead of you instantly.
