Is it Thief?
 
It’s hard to answer this question without getting into the vague gray area of impressions perceptions and opinions. My answer to this question is as important as your answer to this question: How much is my opinion worth to you? Now that you’ve answered this question, here’s my answer to the first question: Yes, it felt like Thief. That’s a good thing.  
 
For many people, that statement is not good enough, so let me be a little more enthusiastic this time. I am very impressed with this game. I think many of the hardcore fans will agree with me, once they’ve played it. I think this is the Thief 3 Looking Glass Studios would have wanted to make.
 
The atmosphere is incredibly thick, from the stately city streets, to the slummy back alleys, to the soaring towers of the cathedrals, to the posh sitting rooms, to the woodsie tangle vines, caves and sewers. Loot glint and arrow streaks mean exactly zip when you're actually in the game playing the game. Missing features are rendered irrelevant when you’re too busy enjoying all the game does have to offer. And did I mention the atmosphere? If the visuals were not enough, it’s the music! Music is everywhere in this game, often the very same music from the previous games, and it overlaps, and builds, and segues, and is frankly brilliant.  
 
And for once in the history of the series, the game actually looks GOOD. The main hall of the Hammerite cathedral was a joy to behold, and that’s just the beginning.
