Thief II: The Metal Age

So I have to say I'm one of those who thinks this is actually inferior to Dark Project, why? That horrendous final mission, and just how the last 3 missions in general are just pretty annoying. This game starts off so incredible and just vastly declines towards the end, it hurt the game more than I expected for me. Overall though this game is still great.

+One of the greatest games of all time! +Incredible level design +Great characters; especially Garrett +Great stealth game play +Fun, yet flawed combat

Thief II: The Metal Age is many things. But the first thing new players are likely to see is that this game is old. Really old. And the vanilla version of this game shows its age proudly. But it is also one of the greatest immersive sims in video game history. The first game in the series, The Dark Project, practically created the immersive sim/stealth genre, and the second game expanded on everything that the first one did right, while removing a couple of pain points and the more experimental segments of the first. This game is the perfect sequel by every single measure. The story is intriguing, the levels are sprawling and invite experimentation, the stealth systems are intense but feel amazing to learn and eventually master, the loyal fanbase continues to craft mods and fan maps to this day (some of which are considered essential to experience this game's full glory) and Garrett, The Greatest Thief in The City, remains as slitheringly cunning as ever. So if you are a fan of immersive sims/true stealth games and would like to dive into a relic of gaming history, then this is the game for you.
