Thief

Thief

Probably one of the most controversial games. Even now, as I sit down to write this review, I'm still not sure about the final rating.

It's very important to note that I haven't played the previous parts. And my playthrough was on the PC version, with keyboard and mouse. I played on the highest difficulty, where you can't knock out civilians (*to my utmost surprise, drugging prostitutes with opium also counts as knocking out civilians, kudos to the developers' tolerance).

The game was met rather coolly. And it's not surprising, the beginning of 2014 was an extremely poor choice for a series reboot. Especially since 2013 gave us The Last of Us, GTA5, and Bioshock Infinite. Dead Space successfully failed, thanks to its attempt to transform from Resident Evil to Uncharted, and the … Read full

In the role of a master thief and in the scenery of the Victorian era, you need to make your way to the goal undetected (although you can choose another way to pass), solve puzzles and use all available means to achieve this goal.

Judging by this description, everything should be interesting. That’s right: we get to know the spirit of a bygone time thanks to wonderfully recreated details, study the location for silent passage, and enjoy the setting of some tasks.

But not all tasks are so interesting and varied, and enthusiasm for the gameplay often suffers from bad little things like inconvenient navigation through the game world (along with loading screens between city blocks), city architecture that is not so successful for such a game, etc. The impressions of the plot are not completely c… Read full

A story about how crap they wrote. No, seriously, you have to be able to write such nonsense, and this despite the fact that the gameplay is very interesting, but because of the script you don’t want to play. We play as Garrett, a professional burglar. We climb around the locations, take away everything that is in bad shape, take away the wallets from the guards, and so on. To avoid being burned, we hide in the shade, under tables, you can even crawl under a bench, you can also climb onto cabinets and into ventilation. The gameplay of the game is pleasant, I played on a PC, but with a gamepad from a 360 box, and everything feels just great. As for the plot, let's say thanks to Riana Pratchett. To avoid spoilers for those who haven’t played, I’ll say this: watch the first 15 minutes of the … Read full

I've played through the entire Thief series and am an avid fan. The relaunch of this project is quite worthy. There is an atmosphere, riddles. It may not be for everyone, but for fans of the genre the game is very atmospheric. Although many fans criticize it for its casualness, it has a plot and a dark mystical atmosphere, and many different difficulty settings. In general, to each their own, of course, but in my opinion everything is pretty cool. I would love to see Garrett's story continue.

Ten years... Ten long, tormenting years of anticipation, he hid in the shadows. And then it happened, Thief returned.

What good things can I say about the reimagined Thief??? Stealing... Garrett's favorite pastime. Thefts take up the lion's share of the game here (which is not surprising) and are quite interesting to do. This is largely due to the well-developed animation of the hands and movements of our protagonist. In general, as for the visual component of the “new thief”, there is nothing to complain about here. The old Unreal Engine 3 produces a really gorgeous picture. The same applies to the sound and music component of the game; the composer did his job excellently. Stealth... Hiding in the shadows is still fun, we have to thank the game's authors for this, who made quite smart opp… Read full
