Thief 4 had been sold on the Xbox Store for 3 on Black Friday weekend. Almost bought it, but then decided that it's enough to have it on PC.

Just picked this up in the Xbox Store, for 3 €. It's been a while since i last played it on PC, don't really remember much. The screenshots actually look great. I'm sure i'll pull at least a bit of fun out of it.

Just played the first chapter. I must say i quite like it (don't remember much from the first time i played it on PC). If you take it for what it is, a reboot not a strict successor, it's actually quite fun. Especially the city and atmosphere are great actually.

Yes, I enjoyed the game as well because I didn't really see it as a continuation of the franchise (which it isn't any way apart from some familiar names). It certainly has tremendous flaws and simplified limitations, but gameplay-wise it wasn't that bad for me.

One thing i don't like so much is that it takes some responsibilty from the player, like, you can't jump everywhere, the game only lets you jump in certain places, and, that they have been a bit excessive with the "immersive" animations, for example when you open cupboards, or doors, but, i see that as a general problem with games these days, that they hold the player's hand too much. In general, i'm quite positive about the game though. It's not half as bad as my memory about it. Guess i approached it as a "true" Thief successor too much.
