    Thief is a very good stealth game for the Xbox one. It has very good graphics and stealth mechanics. The levels are well built and take several plays through to find all the areas available. There are good side missions and mission objectives to broaden each chapter. This game was a little short and could be played in ghost fashion in under 5-6 hours, but with all the extra loot and side missions the game stretches to 15 hours. Story is good with some actual "drop the controller" creepy moments. Can be scaled for beginner to advanced gamers. Best stealth game currently available for Xbox One.

    I really wasn't expecting much from Thief when I picked it up. I was looking to bridge from Tomb Raider to Titanfall. I spun the game up and I was pleasantly surprised. The graphics were great and the attention to detail really draws you in. The one knock I have on this developer is that most of their games become extensions of Assassin's Creed in terms of the mechanics and game play. This is another game where your goal is be stealthy (go figure with a name like Thief) but none the less, you must LOVE this approach to enjoy this game. Some of the story telling gets a bit disjointed, but none the less this is a good game during a time there is nothing else really "new".

    Very entertaining game. The story is great, and the graphics are fantastic. Very dark though, so make sure your TV brightness is correctly adjusted.

    Having only just started playing this game, I haven't seen very much, but the stuff I have seen I am enjoying. The city is oppressive and gloomy, painting a portrait of a city being destroyed by plague and corruption. With all the twists and turns and various paths it's easy to get lost in feeling of this game. The negative is that the real challenge is to get through the levels without touching any NPC. No killing, no knockouts, no suspicions raised. As with most stealth heavy games, guards patrol a set pattern, always turning the same direction and pausing for the same amount of time. This is my biggest frustration with these games. With these new systems, AI should be more random, more lifelike. Give me consequences to taking out the guards. If you were a guard talking to your buddy, and all of a sudden he disappears when you turn your back, would you be concerned? At any rate, this game is a great play and makes me excited to see what the future holds for the new consoles.

    Was looking for a different type of game than the usualy triple-A titles. This game is fun to sneak around in and take everything you can find. Fighting mechanic is bad but ur not supposed to get caught so there's that. Satisfied with overall feel and gamplay. Good stealth option for now.

    If you love games like the Splinter Cell or Assassin's Creed franchises where stealth is key then you'll love Thief for the Xbox One. I'm thoroughly enjoying the game and the stunning graphics. A must have for your Xbox One.

    A great stealth game, with good graphics and rewarding gameplay. The world draws you in as well, tempting you to search every area for secret loot/items that are more valuable and allow for better upgrades.

    I bought this game for a friend, and he absolutely loves it. The price you get for it now, is a no-brainer. Get it, as it has an excellent story and great graphics.

    If you like stealth games, you'll have fun. Customizable difficulty lets you make it as hard or easy as you like. It's not the best in the Thief franchise, but its a good game.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Thief is a great challenging game when you have the difficulty up or have certain custom difficulty settings on. Fun to sneak around in the shadows and try to complete the game being a ghost. Control scheme is odd to get used to at first. They have adapted an app that helps keep track of your stats, but you can easily check them in game. If you want a single player game that is meant to played stealthily, all whilst looting all the shiny objects you want then this game is a great play.

    Good game. Thief has some strong stealth mechanics going for it, and getting away unseen with a big haul of loot can be an enormous challenge, but doesn’t always put that to good use. Between the hit-or-miss missions is an extremely annoying city hub map and a weak story full of bland characters, and Garrett himself isn’t as sure-footed as a master thief ought to be. Ignoring the story and cherrypicking the best side missions is the best way to approach it.

    I am a big Assassins Creed fan so when I seen Thief come out I was very interested in playing it. For being stealthy it is a great game, moving to different covers, jumping from shadows, moving in the cover of darkness. However the overall combat could use some work, while using some of the takedowns are impressive, fighting is the game is difficult. I recommend trying to go through the game in stealth, and only picking the fights you have to.

    This new version of Thief stays true to the original game from past years. Level of difficulty is nice forcing you to think about what your doing and not just running around blasting everything. It can be a little tedious at times but even that makes it feel more realistic with being impatient having consequences. Overall if you enjoy stealth over blasting everything in sight you will enjoy this game.

    The flow of travel can be linear, get to point A from Point B, etc. The options of how you can get there is a bit more free. Having a linear path makes the game a bit shorter in comparison, however games like this have a fantastic back story, and you tend to forget that you're just going through the motions. I like sneaky games, so this hit the mark. Great concept, and fantastic graphics.
