도둑호소인 도둑조무사 게럿의 우당탕탕 맵탐험. 그저 몽둥이로 뒤통수쳐서 기절원툴. 이럴꺼면 칼을왜주는거냐. 도둑질하는게임이 아니라 잠입액션쪽임, 물건 훔치는걸 기대했다면 비추
It still makes me feel things.
Absolute cinema.
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. "My heart, it ceases My breath, undrawn My eyes, forever focused On the sanguine metal dawn"
This game deserves to be mentioned alongside some of the other ground-breaking games of it's time such as the Halflife series and Metal Gear Solid. It takes the stealth genre and does something never seen at the time in creating a rich first person view and implementing stealth successfully around it. The core mechanics and gameplay is successfully realised and overall playing the game is a very enjoyable experience. As with most games from around this time there are things that could be polished and lady time has left one or two marks on the product visually but despite this I found the game very playable and an improvement on it's very solid predecessor.
The second part of the best stealth game on planet earth. There's a lot less supernatural than in the first part. The gameplay is generally the same. The levels have become much better. The last 2 missions were completed in a hurry, which is immediately obvious. Except for that, the game is a masterpiece.

Best Thief game in the franchise by far.
