German Thief player since the release of Dark Project in 1998.
Mostly enjoying casual playthroughs. Not a fan of ghosting.
Likes:
- good custom soundtrack and textures
- large and well made missions
- small but fine missions
- atmosphere
- awesome architecture
- if someone really understands how to make a good blend in a mission - be it with stock textures and sounds, custom ones or both
Dislikes:
- overcomplicated riddles and keyhunts, in general too frustrating to fulfill objectives
- on the other hand very non-challenging missions
- forced ghosting and other unnecessary restrictions
- quantity over quality
- boring and long readables(just let that be) and obnoxious fanon stuff(sorry folks, but Garrett and Victoria weren´t romantically involved, so don´t annoy me)
- obnoxious sounds, be it custom ones or just placing stock sounds in the wrong place with unfitting loudness
- FM makers who can´t handle criticism
My Thief games ranking:
1. Thief Gold
2. Thief 2
3. Deadly Shadows(although I don´t like it much)
4. Is there really another Thief game...?

I stand with the given 1 points, because for me it´s legit.
Atmosphere: It´s not "Thiefy" at all, and a bunch of silly noises aren´t automatically creepy.
Story: Like said, it doesn´t fit in the Thief universe, and there are more interesting stories than the usual asylum stuff.
Gameplay: Also not that challenging. The enemies can be easily dealt with and this running around with "oh, there is this and that object to collect/dispose" is not exciting.
I don´t see it as masterpiece and don´t like it. Tastes are different. What has Escape to do with that? That´s another story.
Note that opinions can be very different. I don´t care about some kind of consensus or what some gaming magazine once wrote.
It´s my opinion and they can have theirs. And yes, while I wouldn´t use that wording IMO it´s really trash.
Many people don´t like Mage Towers. I like it. To each his own.
Good review, agree with that.
Would also recommend the Necro Age version. I tested the HD version but didn´t like the style. Necro Age is a good compromise of offering higher resolution textures and a style that isn´t that different from the original.
I would also have loved a better endgame, but well, it is what it is. And I would have loved to see a 2nd campaign from the team, as there is really room for improvement and potential. However, it seemed that the team disbanded after making ...
Thanks for the extensive review. Someone send me the campaign after it was released, I started it but stopped shortly after seing the whole mess of the first mission.
The voice acting is also very unpleasant. Not because of the language but it just sounds odd. I don´t know why the author didn´t ask people of the community to do it.
Agree with the menu and the music, both are not really needed.
I guess I didn´t miss much. A lot of content, but I don´t want it.
