Critic Reviews
Thief (PS4) Review
Thief, which is thankfully no longer known as “Thi4f,” is a reboot of the series, so new players don’t need to worry about getting lost in some elaborate, ongoing saga.
80%Welcome back, taffer. We review Thief
Despite my deep reservations regarding the reboot of my favorite character and the world he inhabits, Thief manages to deliver a compelling experience. Sure it’s a bit grimy in areas, but the team at Eidos Montreal have done well with the reboot of this title, just as they did for Deus Ex. The main missions are immersive, and the team has clearly catered to both new audiences and us old taffers with the bevy of options and mods. While it may not convey the same style as its forerunners, it delivers what I would call a mostly-authentic Thief experience. Now, let’s talk about getting those cutscenes back…

Thief is an inconsistent game that has just as many failings as it does successes. Fans of the stealth genre will find a lot to like here, but a number of poor design decisions keep it from reaching the heights of its predecessors.
