Unfortunately I cannot recommend this game. I've played all 4 thief games one by one. And this one... it's really not the game I'd expect from this franchise.

Pros:
- Graphics. It's really cool. Shadows, fog, everything you need to create a Thief game;
- Atmosphere. The City looks really cool, chaotic architecture, grim dark levels;

Cons:
- Loot. Literally hundreds of coins, golden scissors, other garbage. The City is starving, but the amount of gold on the floor it tremendous. Nonsense. And it's really annoying to pick up hundreds of items, especially taking into account...
- Arrows are cheap. Skills are useless if you are playing in stealth mode. Most of skill increase damage of arrows and reduce the damage income... in stealth game, seriously? So after second chapter you have so much money that you don't need and it's ridiculous;
- Levels are not open any longer, so if you missed some loot at the beginning of the chapter you'll not be able to return. This mechanic ruins the entire idea of loot-collecting game;
- Levels where you need to run away from destruction. Am I playing a Call of Duty?
- The City. Why do I need it at all? Huge location for collecting 400 hundreds peaces of loot. I don't see a reason to do it...
- Play style. What's the reason for introducing this score without even explaining how it's calculated? I've used one lever on the level and instead of getting Shadow score I receive Opportunist and don't get rewards for staying undetected... Stupid.
- Slow animations. Garret is opening lockers for ages. Sometimes without distracting guards it's impossible to get the loot;
- Stupid "press-the-E-button-quickly-20-times-game". What's the reason for this one? It's just annoying;
- Each time guards see me the window "Press V to avoid hit" appears and I need to press Enter before I'll be able to press Quick Load... Annoying.
