It's fun for a few.

The amount of hours is how long i could stomach playing this game masquerading around as a game i once knew as Thief. Not only is the horrible stealth system, a very integral part of the series, atrociously done, the overall game-play is just flat out bad. After realizing that this game is really a game meant to be played on an ice rink, with it's inexplicable use of press space bar to shadow dodge and win, the game fails to capture any redeeming qualities of the series.

It is such a waste too since the game itself looks great, how Garret places his hands on walls etc, is very well done and can immerse you in the character, but unfortunately when the large chunk of your game is a stealth game, and that mechanic is incredibly broken, you can only enjoy the little things so long before you give up. I really wish i had not pre-ordered the game, if this game were under 10$ i'd say it is worth a try, but anything above you're better off with something that will actually be entertaining.

Take the recommendation as you will, but overall a disappointed fan of the game, for someone new to the series it may be a great / fun little game to play around with. To any fan of the Thief series, know that this game lacks the spirit and soul of it's successors.
