This year's Thief title is a reboot of the old franchise. Garrett remains as the master thief, albeit with a different origin and voice actor. The basic premise is the same as always: Garrett slinks around a dark, Victorian city, stealing for a living and getting caught up in events much larger than...

+ Strong stealth gameplay + Good advancement system + Looks nice

- Combat controls a bit fumbly - Wishywashy cast and voice acting

For all its big heist ambitions, Thief is all about the long con. It looks good from the start, with just enough shiny bits and nods to the original series to draw you in. But stick with it until the end and you'll have nothing to show for your time but dreams gone bust.

The most recent entry in the Thief series was met with significant criticism prior to its launch for the changes made to what was perceived as a good existing formula. As someone who had not played the previous games, I entered this title with no preconceptions or high or low expectations.

with high hopes being a fan of the originals from my adolescence. Sadly the linearity and technical issues do not allow it to reach the heights of the previous games.

The legacy of Looking Glass Studios looms over the video game industry. The System Shock franchise evolved into BioShock , led by Ken Levine and Irrational Games to great critical acclaim.

All in all, Thief successfully ticks the right boxes on the PlayStation 4, although it's not a totally next-gen experience.

A great game as is, although it has a few very patchable issues that could really put it over the top.

The story of Thief is underwhelming, and the rest of the game feels like a Dishonored wannabe. Which is a shame considering how beloved this franchise is for some people. It's not a total loss, but it's not especially fun.

To clear this up for all the bad reviews saying the combat sucks. Umm its called Thief, not M.M.A. If you play the game like a thief its fun, if you want to play it like God of War, yeah its going to blow.

Good stealth I love stealing things in this game and in the real life too I don't like loading screens and the map design the story is meh Pro tip: you have to play stealthy you are a thief not kratos so avoid every single encounter with the bad guys and you will have a nice stealth game
