Thief for PC, PS4 and etc. is an action game that puts to operate out of the closet, and treats of the adventures of the title thief Garrett. It was developed by Eidos Montreal, a studio known for Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The developers of Thief were inspired by the previous games, developed by no longer existing Looking Glass and Ion Storm, but the newest one should be regarded as an attempt to reboot the whole series.

Story

In Thief the players go back to a universe which is a mix of Victorian period, magic, gothic, and steampunk. The protagonist of the series, a cunning thief, Garrett, returns after years of absence to the metropolis called the City, where a new order has arisen. The City is ruled by Baron, a cruel tyrant, who has in mind only his very own business. The population is plagued not only by his subordinates, the city guard, but also a mysterious plague. This situation got Garret interested for only one reason: growing chaos is an excellent opportunity to enrich oneself at the expense of others. It soon becomes clear that the legendary thief has been embroiled in a thicker intrigue, and ,once again, will have to choose one side in the conflict.

When English is not enough – linguistic experiments in video games

Linguistic aspects are usually the neglected child of building a fictional setting – be it in literature, cinema, or video games. Some developers, however, have decided to take the risk and served us several more or less successful language experiments.

Giant Bomb: 2 / 5 by Alex Navarro

Thief offers up moments of stealthy satisfaction, but not nearly enough of them to make up for its many rough edges, bland level designs, and god-awful plot.

Full Review

PC Gamer: 79 / 100 by Chris Thursten

Great in places, but never quite lives up to its potential. A competent sequel let down by inconsistency.

Full Review

Eurogamer: 6 / 10 by Simon Parkin

At times the game suffers from a lack of ambition, placing far too much importance on the tiresome looting of endless cupboards and dressers in the vain hope that this will be enough to propel you forwards. In other places, Thief suffers from too much ambition, unable to draw its systems into a cohesive whole. Whether the game simply needed more time or entirely different foundations is never quite clear. Either way, it's a game that adds up to less than the sum of its parts.

The main cons of the game

  • Confusing City Layout: Many reviews mentioned that the city is complicated and difficult to navigate, making it hard for players to know where to go or what to do next.

  • Loading Screens: The segmented open-world design and frequent loading screens disrupt the gameplay experience for some players.
  • Pacing Issues: Some reviews noted that the game can feel slow and tedious at times, particularly during certain actions like opening windows or chests.
