people hate this game for no reason. it plays fine and looks good. people hate it because its not exactly like Thief 1 and 2. the game might not live up to those standards but by itself its a very good game and people who dont think so just cant look past their own nostalgia

A stealth-focused adventure that rewards patience, clever planning, and careful exploration. Sneaking through the shadows as Garrett is satisfying, and the dark atmosphere captures the spirit of a master thief. While it delivers tense stealth gameplay, it doesn't always live up to the legacy of the series. + Immersive stealth mechanics and atmospheric world + Excellent level design with multiple paths to explore – Story is forgettable and characters lack depth – Some gameplay mechanics feel outdated and repetitive 7.5/10 – A good stealth game, but not the masterpiece it could have been.

I cannot give it a negative review for what it is, since overall it's a proper game. As long as you condition yourself to clear levels only by stealth – and I assume that's the way it's meant to be played – the experience is complete. You study the enemy, plan the route, wait for your moment, use the environment, move silently, and grab everything you can along the way. And while it works in the beginning, where the challenge is still fearly managable for a smooth and clean playthrough, in the later levels… the complexity needed for achieving this kind of a run becomes just too much. The locations get bigger and bigger, the enemies are plentiful, the alarm triggers get scattered all over your path, and you end up being just simply… painfully slowed down and wary of literally EVERYTHING. Is it worthy of a master thief? Yes. Is it fun as a video game meant for fun and relaxation? No. And, as I'm assuming many players did, you end up just killing or stunning everyone, since it's easier and faster. And boring. But not much less boring than sitting in dark corners for minutes studying enemy patrols and their lines of sight, looking for noisy crows, sniffing dogs, scattered glass, traps, holes, places for takedowns, etc. The game also has this action adventure dark fantasy background which… kind of… takes over. Somewhere along the way you lose the feeling of being simply a thief, and instead you become this dark knight who tries to save the city from monsters. It seems actually weird, picking up coins and jewellery from behind the backs of horror mutant creatures while the city is dying and turning into a nightmare… Makes you think: "What is wrong with you, Garret?" So, yeah… it's all good, as long as you want a "chore" of a stealth game (with, eh… monsters), but if you just want to move smoothly in the shadows of the night, speed through rooftops, rob some folks while they're busy reading, occasionally move past some guards – you WILL GET that through the first half of the game, and then… it's "go get them, tiger".

All my favorite things in 1 game. Super atmospheric 1900th century urban stealth looter with a touch of the supernatural to keep things interesting. I could (and did) spend hours (17 straight hours) just wandering around looting random buildings. If you liked playing Dishonored, this game is for you.
