In the third instalment of the Thief series, master-thief Garrett is contacted by Keeper Artemus with a mission to steal two valuable artefacts. At the same time, Garrett learns about a prophecy: the coming of a Dark Age. He embarks upon a journey to unravel a mystery that threatens the existence of the order of Keepers. Is it possible that there is a traitor in their midst? The stealth and thievery game, Thief: Deadly Shadows comes with a number of improvements over two previous parts. Released in 2004, it left behind the aging Dark Engine, using a heavily modified Unreal engine instead. Realistic lighting effects have been implemented: each character and object now casts its own shadow. A third person's view has been made available in addition to the standard first person perspective. The stealth system that made Thief: The Dark Project and Thief 2: The Metal Age famous is still in place. You have to stick to the shadows and avoid making noise, as guards will react to anything suspicious. It is also the first game of the series that introduced free roaming. The City, divided into several unlockable districts, is yours to explore. You can interact with the city's inhabitants: pickpocket, steal, or even mug them for loot.

Great voice acting and world building, but the gameplay is a bit shallow and the levels are a bit too mazelike to my taste.

Не скажу, что прям восхищен игрой, по некоторым причинам: она пиздец затянута и некоторые миссии там просто лишние. Сам сюжет для своего времени, геймплей и прочие фишки крутые. Жаль что мне не сказали блять, как работает валюта (а может и сказали, просто я долбоеб)

A buggy mess without the patches, and there's something lost by their stepping away from the video style from the first 2 games. A good game, but not as good.

Variety of mechanics for stealthy gameplay. Would still replay it. sometimes the game would glitch and you would walk around in T-pose :)

Passaram mais alguns anos, e agora até antigos inimigos precisam de sua ajuda para evitar perigos maiores. E finalmente o jogo tem um resumo no começo e no final da fase, e até animações, gostei muito mais que os anteriores.

A wonderful classic game with great fanbase who have developed a patch, that makes the game run smoothly on modern gaming gear. The only thing i was missing, was guidance on how to be friends with the pagans! Never figured that one out. That costs half a star, since it was a problem of the main game imho. Worthy successor to the Thief-series.

Full Steam review:

Garrett. This is a name, that should be remembered. From the humble beginnings in Thief 1, he has looted his way to the top of the thieves in the world, so that he is the only one, who can be trusted to save it.

Against enemies who are very powerful and on a map, where the city is divided into a number of pieces which unlock the further the game advances, Garrett does what he does best: break into facilities, sneak and sometimes even kill his way through a rather linear storyline to save the world.

The player has the choice to either nurture his relationship with different factions or make them Garrett's enemies. In the end the player still will have to face the main boss (a mean one!) and his minions by crossing the bosses plans.

The beforementioned story is nice, the voice actors great and the loot good - this has given the game a remarkable fanbase, who has even published a patch, so that even nowadays this game is playable on modern gaming gear (namely Win 11) with a minimum of technical issues. Thanks for that!

This game is a definite recommendation for anyone, who wants to play a classic game which definitely has earned its place in gaming history.

console-ified thief experience, incredibly worse in terms of open level designs, but good god is the atmosphere and immersive factor still going strong in this one, I can smell this game, that's how good the presentation is, too bad it ended with on 3 with this game
