A City teetering on the edge of a bloody revolution. An oppressive regime subsisting on the rising tide of fear. An extraordinarily skilled thief lies in the shadows during this uncertain and troubled time, thwarting even the most cautious citizens out of their best-guarded possessions. But as the uprising, led by Orion, voice-of-the-people, begins to emerge, Master Thief Garrett finds himself entangled in the ever-tightening knot of conflict. The Baron's Watch refuses to ease their stringent regime, and Garrett's abilities may be the only thing that will prevent the streets from running red with the blood of the people. Will you redefine your role as Thief to save the City from a devastating fate?Slip into the silent shoes of the dark and solitary Master Thief and sneak through the City unnoticed and unsanctioned. Unmatched stealth skills make child's play out of the most challenging heists and place the most inaccessible loots within your reach as you infiltrate luxurious mansions and relieve the residents of their valuables. Explore the sick and suffering City, from the shady back alleys to the highest rooftops, and decide what kind of thief you are.

I have only played the opening scenario which teaches the game controls. So far, I am enjoying the game and like the music, sound effects and graphics. The game has received overall favorable reviews from gaming sites but I think it is not for everyone. If you want to go in guns blazing, look elsewhere. But if you like strategy combined with some RPG aspects check this game out.

I was disappointed by this game. I'm a big fan of stealth games like Assassins Creed and Dishonored, but this one didn't really do it for me. I got over half way through the story line and still couldn't really figure out where the story was going. One mission wasn't really even a stealth mission at all but was borderline on the horror genre. The side missions were cookie-cutter and got to be boring after a while. The world is pretty bland and all the areas tend to look pretty much the same. Navigation was also frequently frustrating and at times it seemed that the developers didn't understand the difference between a logic puzzle and a guessing game. The game doesn't have any fast travel, which means that except when you're in the main missions, you'll probably spend more time trying to get around than actually stealing things. If you just look at the stealth gameplay itself it is comparable with other games in the genre, but nothing special. The only mission I really enjoyed was the Bank Heist, but if you didn't preorder the game you won't even have that. Would not recommend buying until the price drops significantly.

This game I felt was hyped up but square enix dropped the ball on this one. Aside from some nice visuals the game doesn't really offer much else. The looting and exploring is very limited even the skills are somewhat disappointing

This game seems a little tedious at times but I tried it out with a rental and it stuck with me so I decided to buy it and play. Interesting storyline to it.

Although not an open-world game, it is fun to play, interact and explore. Not too difficult to learn and challenging enough if you want it to.
