amazingly solid successor to the original two games!!?!??!? i was really worried this one would suck but it fits right in even if the maps are WAY smaller (and by extension, more linear) but still a very fun time for more thiefing all over the place.

LOVE the use of sound design from the previous games, the story holds up with a neat mystery and getting to flesh out the keepers, and it's got a lot of ambition with missions AND city sections! the penultimate missions gimmick i think drags on WAY too long but maybe that's just cuz of how TENSE it was.

my ONLY real gripe with the game is the movement. it's both a third AND first person game allowing you to switch back and forth so garrett always feels heavily delayed or like he needs to switch feet especially on more precarious platforms. despite being on a different engine, thief jank is ALIVE AND WELL!!!
