And old clichés This game lives in the Deadly Shadows (pun absolutely intended ) of Thief 2.....the story is potentially catching but really badly told (pagan and hammerite *HIDDEN* vestiges, where are you???) and "compressed" (see Crysis 3), some characters are simply stupid (ThiefTaker my ass General and Vittori), side missions are "my-first-FM" depth level, the City hub is badly segmented and badly exploited (but it's a beauty), the third person climbing mechanic is erratic.....Thief (4) is really the game you would love but can't love.
