Thief Gold is a first-person perspective stealth game. It was the first game to use light and sound gameplay mechanics – different surfaces cause varying noise. You can use sound to your advantage - it's not only your main source of information on how close your enemies are but you can use it to distract them, for example by throwing objects. With unscripted levels, and objectives and paths altered based on difficulty settings, Thief Gold can give you hours of non-repetitive gameplay. This extended edition includes all of the missions from the first release, as well as three new missions adapted to the original storyline, with full voice acting and new graphics. It can still be considered the first game in the Thief series.

Story

Thief Gold is an excellent game and frankly has few games that meet its devotion to stealth mechanics and immersive design choices. PROS: - Deep stealth mechanics that make use of a tailor made engine that emphasizes the use of sound and light to stay hidden from enemies. - Great story that drives the player forward. - Good replay-ability with variations using difficulty settings to tailor the game to the intesity you want. CONS: - Once found the combat, while responsive and fun is so disadvantaged against the enemy that you basically have to save-scum every time you are found. Or #gitgud

Thief Gold

"Why do you play a game, that defined the genre of stealth-gaming without any intent to be stealthy?" - "Because I can", I answered. But in the end, it was not TOO unstealthy what I did. Works on modern gear thanks to a patch, available on the internet. Great story, intersting weapons and challenges and make the save function your best friend! A classic with a big fanbase - for a reason. Garrett FTW! Steam review: Stealth? Me? Well, I tried... In the end it worked like usually: sneak closer, kill everything that moves (if possible) and loot anything you can. This means, that there is NOT only one way to play this game "right". A classic game, with many possibilities and a very strong fanbase, even after decades - for a reason. it seems, that the game needs a patch to run on modern gear, but after downloading and installing that, the game really has a great story, a skillful main character, nice weapons and a variety of enemies to be either killed or avoided - your game, your choice. Even in the 20s of a new century a worthy investment!
