Summary
Step into the silent shoes of Garrett, a dark and solitary thief with an unrivalled set of skills. The most challenging heists, the most inaccessible loot, the best kept secrets: nothing is out of your reach. Sneak through the streets, infiltrate heavily-guarded mansions and lurk in every dark corner… unnoticed and unsanctioned. Use Garrett’s arsenal to take down guards silently with your blackjack, use multiple arrow types to manipulate your environment and the enemies within them or use your newly acquired focus abilities to increase the effectiveness of your thieving skills.

For all my complaints about the plot and the later missions, Thief remains a very good game. If you were a fan of the originals, or are a fan of stealth games in general then this is a must. The gameplay is superb and I can’t think of a better example of a stealth game in recent years. I do wish Square Enix had focused more on plot and character. With better scripting, Thief would have gone from good to great.
Thief is a somewhat disappointing game, especially considering the resurgence in stealth games that we’ve seen over the last couple of years. It’s hard to overlook the game’s shortcomings in the face of these other games, and it’s even more disappointing when you consider that this will be the introduction of Thief to many new players. Thief feels like a game that couldn’t even get the basics right, let alone offer anything new and interesting.
