If you enjoyed the originals then this game will be a fun game to play but falls short of being any thing but average.

Thief is a game for people who love stealth gameplay and waiting for the right moment to strike from the shadows.

This is a good game for someone looking for an assassin creed but with a different kind of game play. Not as much about killing as it is the thieving.

I live the era when it takes place. And it's an interesting storyI like how it unfolds right in front of me.

As a huge fan of the original Thief games I was greatly looking forward to playing a new Thief adventure on the next-gen console. Thief has a classic style game play which is lost in many new games these days. This classic style is what us gamers asked for, and they pulled it off perfectly. It is just like the original Thief game in so many ways. They really took their time and made this as faithful to the original series as possible. With that being said, so much has changed over the past 15 years in the gaming world that I feel Thief has let us down a little as we have experience so much more in games. Pros: + Decent Graphics. Went more for style than intense detail. + The sounds are perfect! From little noises in you surrounds to eavesdropping on the sometimes hilarious conversations of the guards. + There is so much to do as you progress through the game. Many side missions and side objectives in main story missions. The areas are large, and there is much to explore. + The ability to save at anytime is a nice feature. Auto-saves are fairly often as well. + Perfect Thief Environment and Dialog. Really brought back memories of the original Thief. + There is a lot of re-playability. Between going back for items you didn't have the gadget for the first time around, to simply realizing you missed some loot when you thought you got it all. Also replaying a level a different way, maybe more stealthy. + The AI is basic, yet very good. If a guard hears you or you cause a distraction, he'll change his usual walking pattern which makes getting around him more difficult. + While the maps and missions are linear, there are many little secret places where you can find additional loot. You can take your time and search. + The story is good, but takes a while to spike your interest. The further you get in the game the more interesting it gets. + Aside from the 8 main story missions, there are 25 or so side missions, plus other missions as you meet/find new characters. Doing them will all greatly extend your play time. Cons: - Weird interruptions to load or have a video. Too many times where the control is taken away from the player. I want to play a game, not watch the game play out a scene for me. - There are too many times where you open a door or window or drop down and are then locked out of where you just came from. Yes they want you to progress further in the level, however this is frustrating if you are trying to get all the loot or complete the extra level objectives. - The game is quite linear. There are ways to approach enemies to kill or simply try and sneak by them, however there is only one way to get to where you need to go. I expected more adventuring and open world capabilities. - Sometimes it feels it's unavoidable to have to take a guard out. I want to be able to go through the game and not be noticed and not kill or knock out anyone, which is a trophy, but it's not always easy. - The story lacks at times making the game play a little slow and lifeless. - Sometimes platforming is frustrating as you can only climb and drop at particular times in particular places. Also basic control mechanics is a little wonky. - I hit a major glitch where a rope was not where it needed to be and I didn't have any rope arrows on me and none were available in my area, and I could not complete the mission. I had to revert back to the city (which is an option when you are in missions# and almost 3 hours of progress was lost. When I played it again the rope had loaded, which is very frustrating. Others have claimed the same glitch on multiple consoles. The game also locked up and shutdown #the game, not the PS4). Also I once got stuck in a wall and I saw a guard get stuck in a wall and start twitching until I got closer, then he killed me. - The map is very limited, by not utilizing symbols or a legend. It does not show starting points of the missions or where other areas open up. Very frustrating and the use of the internet to find what you're looking for is a must. Over-all this is a great game for classic gamers who played the original Thief games on the PC. If you liked the original games you'll love this because it is the same simple style. New comers will be thirsty for more and something more spectacular, especially on a new next-gen console. Those gamers new to Thief will probably get bored easily. Thief is a game where you need to be patient and take your time, something most kids these days don't have. Though there are times where the game seems to be holding back from how amazing it could be, it still is a solid game with an enjoyable game play experience. You can complete the game in under 15 hours or so, depending on the style in which you play and if you do any side missions. I took my time, did all side missions playing some twice to get all loot or thief challenges and ranked in just under 45 hours. My second play through I picked up no loot, didn't kill or knock-out anyone and simply ran through each level to complete the game on Master difficulty. It took me about 6 hours. Over-all, as I have already played through it twice and have 94% of the trophies, I won't be in a rush to play through it again. Maybe one day. I would have liked to see a little more creativity used in some spots throughout the story, however it is a very enjoyable game. Those on the fence may want to wait for the price to drop a little so they won't be disappointed, however faithful fans of the series should not hesitate. I must say, due to all the secrets and hidden loot, this is one of the few games where a walkthrough book may be useful. Highly Recommended! PSN: adrielaugust

Overall this is a good game. Not as good as it was hyped up to be, but if you are looking for a fun stealth game, this will fit that bill.

This is a good game with nice graphics but the game play style is a little challenging to get used to

brought this for a teenage cousin who recently gotten a ps4,he was excited to play these few games i had just gotten him

can get a little redundant/frustrating sneaking around. not a lot of fighting action. Overall really fun game. Third best out for ps4

This is definitely a rental. Gameplay is predetermined and not enough open world for my taste.

Great game for the PS4 recommend getting this game specially if you are a fan of the old ones.

Got this for my 15 year old son He enjoys playing the game. Said it was a little bit challenging, but he liked that part of it.

It is a good game but the graphics don't show what PS4 is all about, if you like dishonored this will be the game for you.

Very fun and exciting game. It takes some patience but the puzzles are fun and exciting.

everyone should try this game the story is grabbing and the textures are so smooth.

The game is brilliant in concept but falls prey to its own execution. The combat is frustrating which wouldn't be an issue of there was more time devoted to creating opportunity for stealthy action. The missions seem lack-luster, even though the story is compelling. The play through is fun but becomes tedious and repetitive.

The game play is sort of slow but it does have a great immersive story

Having a lot of fun with this game so far. Mix of assassins creed and dis honored.

Very immersive story, addicting game haven't been able to put the controller down.

This is just an average game. I prefer more open world type games. This isn't it.
