Would someone who hasn't played the original series enjoy the Thief reboot?

Well, Totalbiscuit enjoyed it.
Jason James
kinda, it was alright but the Insane Asylum level was pretty goat
Connor Clark
Maybe. But it's just mediocre game even for someone who hasn't played the originals.
If you want something modern get Styx.

no i have never played Thief and played this shit and i can understand why they never mad a second game it's shit worst 20$ i ever spent.
Play Dishonored 1 and 2 they are a lot better then this coffee saucer.
Jacob Butler
Am I a pleb if I admit I never liked the theif series all that much? I've given it enough tries but I'm always underwhelmed.
Jaxson Harris
Yeah because the graphics are completey utter shit and makes the game actually unplayable.
I have always wanted to play the game but always drop it 20 minutes into it, its so fucking ugly.
ASCII games Roguelikes are more beautiful than this piece of shit.

Yes somewhat. However the game does fall apart on its own about half-way through and even before that you start seeing the warning signs. It's really clear something fucked up during development and they had to quickly redesign/rework the entire game close to the end of production. It's most clear in the story, it increasingly feels chopped together, and the audio design which is just bad.
If you've played the original Thief and know what this games supposed to be though the fact that the audio design is that bad will ruin the game for you. OG Thief has the greatest audio design ever and is really important to the game design. You essentially have to rely almost solely on audio feedback in order to figure out where guards are in the originals. The other main mechanic in the classic games is the light/dark shadow mechanic which relies on visual cues and the light meter. Both of these mechanics are pretty much broken in the reboot and the only reason it's playable at all is that the AI is dreadfully retarded. To compensate Thief 2014 steals mechanics from all sorts of other stealth games (most of which ironically were inspired by the original Thief games) but kinda fucks them up or uses them poorly. There's bits of the Batman Arkham games, Dishonoured and even a bit of Bioshock Infinite in there but Thief really doesn't know how to use them and you're better off playing any of those games instead of this one. There's also a weird design choice where it copies loads of mechanics and even story beats from Thief (3) Deadly Shadows. DS was often considered the worst original Thief game but it still had its moments. Thief 2014 copies almost all the stuff that didn't work in DS and takes nothing from the original games (which DS did, copying its basic stealth from the originals despite some hardware restrictions)

I played both and it was okay. Disappointing and clearly tried too hard to be what Thief wasn't, but a fair game in itself.

That's one of the weirder aspects if you've played the originals. Moira Asylum feels like a copy of Thief: Deadly Shadows's Shalebridge Cradle level and far, far less effective.
