Thief™ II: The Metal Age Reviews

Meh...

Good

Worth playing. One of the best stealth games I've played.

solid snake is somewhere in garretts balls

Good sequel to the Taffer Simulator

Like the first one, but with metal. Cool

Thief 1 minus the zombie, monsters and horror bullshit and greatly expanded level design.

In exchange for fixed cutscenes unlike Thief Gold, the Steam version of Thief II has a few map alterations that make the game harder (Masks and Casing The Joint both have removed textures that allow for Vine arrows in the center room) and has removed the brightness scale. Seems like a fair trade to me. Apart from only being able to play this on rainy days or night time it's a great game. Better than the first. The ledge grabbing mechanic is broken in a lot of places, but that aside it won't impede the experience much. 10/10. It let me put a bunch of guards bodies together after knocking them out. Much fun is had with implications. Like when you kidnap Cavador he has 8 guards and they all get taken out with one invisibility potion. Those guys are dead. "Oh sorry boss, we just got knocked out by some invisible force and then forced into a giant dark corner, we weren't having an orgy and ignoring our duty." Those guys are dead, they're 100% getting executed. They probably got turned into the slave robots at the Cathedral.

its cool, the story is really well made, definitely on par with thief 1, but the last few levels i dont think hold up to the quality of the original's last few levels. wouldve been cool if the expansion looking glass had planned panned out, but 25 years later and yknow how it goes. from the looks of it, i dont think ill play thief 3.

This latest installment in the O.G. Thief series offers a compelling experience that I found nearly as enjoyable as the original. While some of the later levels exhibited a noticeable drop in quality, it did not significantly detract from my overall enjoyment. There were a few frustrating bugs, and the enemy AI could be bothersome at times, as they would pursue you even when the noise you made originated from a different location, despite moving quietly in the dark. However, this may not be an issue on lower difficulty settings, as I played on Expert throughout. On a more positive note, the game retains the loot, secrets, and sense of exploration that fans of Thief have come to love. In summary, if you appreciated Thief 1, I would confidently recommend Thief 2. While it may not be flawless, it certainly upholds the legacy of the Thief series. The ultimate thief returns! Move carefully through 15 intricate, non-linear levels filled with treasures to pilfer and guards to outsmart. Enhanced enemy AI, new gadgets, and an engaging narrative will immerse you in the world of Thief™ II: The Metal Age, characterized by advanced technologies, fervent religions, and deep-rooted corruption. So, this is the infamous Garrett? I must say, he doesn't quite match the looks I had imagined.
