Thief™ II: The Metal Age Reviews

yes yes please!!!

Greatest Game Ever

Like the first one, but with metal. Cool

Not a bad sequel but a couple of the levels are annoying, especially the final level.

Amazing stealth game. Dark and engrossing atmosphere. Extremely cheap price. It's a shame you have to mod it to work properly on modern hardware. 9/10

A perfect sequel -It preserves what made the original so fun and appealing, you pretty much can't notice a difference in style or gameplay -Innovates with new mechanics, story, enemies -Custscenes work without mods now, excellent -Adresses almost all issues from the original. Any "confusing" or just convoluted level design that had you walking in circles was reworked into a much more fun to explore great levels, all the aspects that made navigation tedious we're combated, you have flares to see in the dark, a better map that tracks where you've been. Levels that feel more believable, immersive and also easier to make your way across It's just an amazing game all together, chef's kiss

This game is incredible. Every level now has purpose and gone are the annoying forced combat sequences. The lore is in abundance here if you're willing to sneak around to look for it and with the level design being a joy to explore that's not a big ask. Gadgets remain pretty much the same but it's how you can utilise them in more unique ways which is the real game changer. A massive improvement upon the first game in every way, it's astonishing that they managed to make this sequel in one year.

Thief II is the only game I've finished four times (though HL is also four times if you count Black Mesa), and replaying it every five years or so feels fresh every time. The game has so many secrets, little narrative elements and objectives, that you discover something new with each new playthrough. Or maybe you just forget the details, and thus everyting seels familiar but new. Of course, Thief 1/2 looks not great now, after all, even upon its initial release it wasn't praised for its visuals, but for the gameplay and level design. And it's still great: I think only Dishonored 2 surpassed Thief series in both stealth mechanics and locations, not a single another game came close. Just buy and play it: despite its age, it's still one of the greatest stealth games of all time.

Great game. Much better than the first (No need for a walkthrough, apart from maybe the last level). Lots of the levels are great, bar a trailing mission and possibly the last one (Interesting mission but far too long and too much backtracking). Story is as good as the first if not better, praise be to Karass being a great villain.
