    Thief Review: Petty   Posted by: Mike Splechta  Gamezone
Review Rating 6.5 Above Average Your Score  Garrett the Master
Thief has had a long, ten year hiatus since his last outing in
Deadly Shadows. You would think having a long time to gather
your thoughts and hone your skills would do a Master Thief good.
In reality, it made Garrett all the more rusty. It's a
polarizing experience really, with moments teeming with
brilliance quickly overshadowed by mission-breaking bugs, bad
lip-syncing or overly frequent loading times.  Thief shines in
the stealth department, which is a relief considering the game
heavily relies on it. Sure, you can brute force your way through
guards, knock them out from behind or send an arrow through
their skull, but the brilliance of the game lies in figuring out
a way around them. In that way, Thief's sneaky moments turn the
game into a puzzle. Do you go out of your way to put out all
lightsources and stay hidden, or do you take the high ground and
sneak above unsuspecting guards?
