Thief: Deadly Shadows

I'm so glad I finally picked up the OG Thief games last summer. They were so much fun, and absolutely justified all the hype I had been hearing about them for literal decades. Having a little bit of an aversion to stealth games and stealth in general, I kept unjustifiably avoiding them. Even from the very start of Deadly Shadows, I knew I was in for a treat. The menu, the HUD, and even the graphics had gotten an overhaul. The game looked absolutely gorgeous; textures were definitely upgraded, the sky and the lighting as well (I always love it when you can see the dust particles coming from the window). And of course, the models, you could see more variety on their faces and costumes. What I kind of missed from the previous two games was the unique use of live action in the cutscenes. It was quirky and different from any other game I played, and it made me excited, as they were kind of a treat whenever I finished a level. It was like watching some kind of theater play in silhouettes, and it suited the games' overall aesthetic. Now, we have pre-rendered cutscenes that let you bask in Garrett's face a bit more, but they felt stunted and lacking all the mystery. There were live-action bits here and there, but they were so minuscule that you sometimes miss them. The main tools we got were mainly the same as before, and once again, I didn't get to utilize them all. (mines in general always get ignored by me, no matter what game I play) One thing that bothered me the most was that the enemies had to be completely in the mode of unawareness and completely turned away from you (and sometimes even that didn't work) in order to bludgeon them. It resulted in loading my quick saves too many times in frustration. This time, I felt like the levels were easier to memorize, and they weren't as unnecessarily vast as in the previous games; they gave you plenty of space to maneuver, but there were also many tight spaces that could get on your nerves. The maps were also a bit better to read this time. The City is sectioned into districts, so it was easier to find your way around. Tip by tip, one job lead to another as always. In search of some money to once again be on time with his rent, Garrett got entangled with his old pals, the Keepers. For some reason, we also had to fall into good graces with the Hammerites, as well as the Pagans, by doing small favours for them around the city. The Factions mechanic, I think, was completely useless, or could have been done differently, but I didn't see the point in choosing which one to side with, as they had no real impact on the story. Garrett is an absolute pleasure to play and to listen to. He is as snarky as ever, but I think, over the course of all three games, he became a little bit softer, or just jaded and tired of getting pulled into all these secret societies and being told what to do and where to go all the time. For being a thief for so long, I got a feeling that this time, his patience was wearing thin. I know a lot of people don't really vibe with him going back to the Keepers at the end, but I don't think he intended to just become like one of the monks/scholars hiding away in libraries. He chose his own path and became a different kind of teacher. He closed the cycle we saw him start in the first game, but on his own terms. He would still be Master Thief, but now a mentor and someone who shares in the security of allyship with the new lineup within the order. And I think it's the perfect closure to his story.

Leider komplett voller bugs. Schlösser lassen sich teilweise erst nach 10 mal anklicken mit dem Dietrich bearbeiten. Spiel ist leider nach jeweils knapp 4 Stunden Spielzeit abgestürzt und das savegame war komplett weg. Ich habe das Spiel damals sehr geliebt aber so ist es leider nur noch schwer zu genießen...

doesn't work:(

Данная игра легенда детства. я думаю это очень достойная игра в жанре стэлс.Прошел я ее за 10-17 часов где то но полностью ею насладился. Достаточно интересный сюжет миссии и особенно локации. Локации это вообще отдельная тема они очень крутые и каждая локация дает понять где ты находишься особенно это благодаря музыке которая очень хорошо показывает окружение локации да и вообще музыка достаточно приятная я бы сам ее послушал даже не играя в игру. НО не обошлось и без багов где то до середины прохождения вас может преследовать один баг КЮЧЕВОЕ СЛОВО МОЖЕТ потом что он срабатывает на рандом и я говорю о лестницах (НЕ СТУПЕНЧАТЫХ). это сущий ад просто если сработал баг то все персонаж застревает на лестнице и ползти наверх не может. НОО Я ПОМОГУ ВАМ РЕШИТЬ ЭТУ ПРОБЛЕМУ ОНО ДОЛЖНО ПОМОЧЬ Я ЖЕ ПРОШЛЕ ИГРУ ПОЛНОСТЬЮ. Короче если вы застряли на обычной миссии где есть лестница то 1. попробуйте найти обходной путь где нет лестницы или есть место где можно пройти без нее 2. если такого пути нет то попробуйте несколько раз ЗАПРЫГНУТЬ НА ЛЕСТНИЦУ А НЕ ПОДОЙТИ К НЕЙ иногда это может помочь 3. но если и это не помогает то даю вам последний вариант который спас мое прохождение и я говорю о ящиках. на каждой карте есть какой то большой предмет на который можно поставить другие большие предметы будь то это ящики или бочки короче вы просто строите из них башню залазите на нее а потом запрыгиваете на лестницу это точно поможет потому что я как понял на нижней части всех лестниц сломано что то и поэтому персонаж багается. Именно последний вариант спас мое прохождение и я спокойно прошел миссию "Девятый Вал" ну и такая же проблеа есть с лазанием по стенам но это также решимо по способам 1 или 2 ну или просто креативьте и все. в общем игра имба всем советую.

I cant climb ladders, suck it

I didn't find anything good in this game, stealth is so boring here, because in the tutorial mission guards behave like bots not looking anywhere except what is literally in front of them. Also the game is unplayable, it doesn't let to enter into lockpicking mode, making stuck in the very beginning without any further progress. Made a request for refund, but was denied. This one is nothing in comparison to 2014 game which works well and much more realistic and interesting.

Третья часть культовой серии стелс-игр, в которой Гаррет снова оказывается в центре интриг мрачного города. Игра сохранила дух предшественников, но добавила открытые городские зоны и новые возможности взаимодействия с окружением. Thief: Deadly Shadows - достойное завершение классической трилогии.
