A detailed video essay focusing on favourites Thief: The Dark Project and Thief II: The Metal Age, and how these old dogs stack up against the AAA gaming ind...
Thief 2 is the only game that has come even close to replicating the feeling I had dumpster diving after dark. It gives you the exact same type of butterflies in your stomach and the same elation when the job goes off without a hitch.
I can easily say it’s the best stealth game ever made and the runner-up is so far behind that you need a microscope to see it.
Thief 2 is still my favorite game of all time. There’s nothing else like it.
Nothing else gives the same satisfaction of planning out a route for a bank heist or infiltrating Soulforge and then pulling it off without getting detected.
Throw in the total immersion from the haunting ambient music and lore that you discover by reading notes and eavesdropping and nothing else has come close. Not even dishonored, which I also enjoyed. Thief is the most immersive I’ve game I’ve ever played.
I remember playing shipping and receiving for hours and unlocking all the different storage containers and realising that it was just one level
Meanwhile all the foreshadowing
