Can this new Garrett steal the hearts of a new generation?

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.

Hugely atmospheric; Stealth mechanic is excellent; Varied missions

Broken dialogue; Poor AI; Repetitive mechanics

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.

On the title screen for Thief, the main character, Garret, looks curiously small. Dwarfed by the scale of the city in the background, he looks a bit like a cross between a new Assassins Creed lead character and a hobbit.

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

One of the best action-stealth titles in years and the first real lived game that actually makes you feel like a real thief yourself. This game has potential to start this year right. Maki.

If you want to play a tough, but strong, stealth game, Garrett is your man. Thief is at its best when you're gathering as much loot as possible, trying to complete every chapter without disrupting a single guard. The more confrontations, the worse Thief becomes.

+ Challenging but rewarding stealth; + Plenty of loot; + Custom difficulty

- Some boring missions; - Story; - Terrible combat; - Never really feel like a thief

To say the Thief community has patiently waited for Garrett the Master Thief to return would be an understatement. Fans have been chomping at the bit for some 10-years waiting for a new Thief game.
