As a original Thief gamer from the 98 PC game I was looking forward to getting back to the city and stealing everything !!
The game design is very nice. It really gives you the feeling of lurking in the shadows and snatching a coin purse. the controls are very easy to get use and doesn't feel awkward.
The bad side is that it uses the Unreal engine, so there is a bit of texture pop for a brief second when the area loads. There is no instructions on the IU so you get confused on what's available. for example bu pushing the direction arrow down, you get an onscreen mini map.
Overall, if you forget those little problems, this game is great and just a involving as the original! go get it today!!

This is the first of the Thief series that I have played. I found the pacing of the game to be good. The AI of some of the NPCs wasn't too smart. Would have liked a few more "thinking" challenges.

First of all, I need to say I am very biased towards this game. I used to own, and love the old PC series. And when I heard that it is coming out on Xbox One, I was very excited. The graphics and atmosphere are not as good as the trailers. I was hoping a more eerie atmosphere more like Dishonored. I didn't find it, the game play is not that improved either. It felt like they used the name of the series to get buyers instead of trying hard to create a great game. Don't get me wrong, the game is still good but it could have been great. If you are an old Thief's fan, you will still find it quite fun to play, if you are not an old fan, I would say buy some other game like Dishonored.

The gameplay takes a little bit to get used to. Im not usually great at being stealthy in games, but Thief makes it a little easier. The graphics are outstanding!

I like the premise of the game but I do not care for the interface. In my mind I was expecting more of an Elder Scrolls UI. It has been hard to pick up and continue playing.

I haven't gotten far in game due to just getting bored. Looks great, runs great, some cool lil features like being able to look through holes in wood walls. But all in all not much fun. But for a achievement hunter this game seems like you will get upset with some of the achievements but that's the whole point. This isnt much help. Sorry ha

It took me awhile to actually get into the game and I'm not sure if I'd replay it as much is necessary to get all the achievements but in all it's a good game.

Game is great. play it on hard or a custom difficulty because it's short, and don't be afraid to get lost in the city.

Have not completed yet. Graphics could be better, and feels a little too linear to me so far. Good stealth gameplay, but not as immersive as original.

If you are a fan of Assassin's Creed games you will like this game. You have an open world to do whatever it is your heart desires and to play the style of game you like to play. You can be stealthy throughout the whole game without killing any enemies or you can just slaughter them all. Very fun and has a lot of extras to find that can be very challenging.

It is a great stealth game with very well done gameplay. Some of the side missions can seem a bit repetitive, but e main storyline is well done.

Doesn't break any new ground and is a bit linear, but looks good (first xBox One game), and is every bit as fun as the other Thief games.

Solid overall game. Played over 4 hours into it and I like the storyline so far. I am not a big fan of what I feel is a letdown as far as graphics go. I expected it to look like a true XBOX One game. Game plays well but it feels a little buggy at times. I would buy it if you are still struggling to build your xbox one collection like I was. Otherwise wait until price goes down.

I see a great game here but, they couldn't deliver the same experience and the load times were terrible.
