I haven't played enough Thief to say how much it's like Thief, and any kind of comparison to an old loved franchise naturally will get people upset. You put out torches, sneak around, steal/kill secondary objectives. Ultimately it's a lot less rough around the edges than you'd expect. It's nothing groundbreaking, but I've enjoyed the little I've played of it so far. There are some jumps that are hard to judge and others you think you need to hold up-sideways on but that'll leave you just tantalizingly short, there's no reliable way to hang from ledges that I can find but that's fine because it would be sort of game breaking if you could do it anytime you wanted, and all the "bonus XP" objectives are huge pains in the ass. Though the game has quickload and quicksave so it cuts down on a lot of the irritation of experimentation.
I never saw any banner ads and I didn't care who the studio was because it looked fun. After seeing some subtitle typos and weird lighting issues during cutscenes I looked it up and wasn't surprised to see Cyanide Studios. The graphics are alright and it runs fine. Though I do have a 7970, so I'm probably far overspec. I feel like everyone is so fucking hormonal about games anymore that it's not even worth saying I find something fun, and easier to just let people edge closer and closer to suicide while playing Dota and Lol. I think it's a lot of fun, for what it is. I like the story even though it's about a protagonist with amnesia being told to his captors as he's being interrogated.
I'm sure someone could find a million problems with it if they wanted, but I'm not seeing them. Good graphics, good voice work, good score, alright story(it may get better or worse), and fun gameplay. It's actually a little reminiscent of Fable in setting. You might be better served just by replaying DX:HR in a pacifist run, but this felt worth taking some money out of my TF2 hat nest egg. |

I thought its reason for being was a pants-shitting Oculus Rift experience. NT by Fullofkittens 10/08/2014, 6:39pm PDT

For this particular game, I think the fixed save stations are best because atmos by Eurotrash 05/21/2017, 3:39pm PDT
Agreed, BUT, it should save after I complete a mission. by Ice Cream Jonsey 05/21/2017, 3:42pm PDT
