Thiefis a developed game by Eidos Montreal and published by Square Enix. It is a revival of the cult classic Thief Series of stealth games, of which it is the fourth game, It is due for release on the 28th Feb 2014.
Gameplay:
Players control a character called Garrett, a master thief, as he intends to steal from the rich. Similar to previous games in the series, players must us great stealth in order to overcome challenges, while violence is left as a minimally effective last resort.
Players can enter a “Focus” mode, which provides several advantages. It enhances Garrett’s vision, highlighting pipes that can be climbed, or candles that can be put out to make the area darker. Focus can also slow down time, so that Garrett is able to steal more effectively while pick-pocketing. Garrett can also use Focus to push enemies or perform debilitating attacks. It can be further upgraded over the course of the game.
Plot
The game is set in a dark fantasy world inspired by Victorian and steampunk aesthetics. Garrett, a master thief who has been away from his hometown for a long time, returns to a city named ‘The City’, and finds it ruled over by a tyrant called ‘The Baron’. While The City is infested by a plague, Garrett intends to use the volatile situation to his favor.
Although some critics are giving this average scores and some are giving it great scores, i think myself will be a truly addictive game if you like games that entail stealth and campaign mode and also it’s only a one player game.
