I am realy sorry to badmouth a game made by fans, but i have to say it this game is simply not good. I mean i played the first one, which was okay for fan made game, there were some problems but it was passable. Except for the one mission with the bottle i hated that one.
And so i decided to play the second. Lets start with the good, the cutscenes and reubens monologue made it feel like a real thiefs game which was great. The atmosfere, some part were realy creepy, and the story seems okay, even though there were some needles retcons to the endin of thief 3 but okay still passable.
And now the bad, first thing i hate missions were i cant knock down the guard, i give this kinda of stuff was also in previous Thiefs games, but seriously the reasoning for it was absurd. Like dont knockout guard because you already did before and a second knock would kill them. Lol sounds stupid.
Another which was weird in the first one too, were these objective which should have optional, or you had to do them in higher dificulties. And boy how i hated these stupid poster quest seriously i think you guys played too much Asasins Creed. And also the mission objective of taking and this and this many loot was kinda absurd, okay in the begining i understand. But as the plot gets more serious and like you have to escape city were everybody wants and you have as fast you can you have to still some loot, Its ridiculous, i played Thief 3 a long time so i might be wrong but i dont think that when Gamall and the stone monsters were running and you have to stop them you did not had to steal loot as an objectiv.
Another is with this game is that the dificulty goes up and the developers did not get the balance right, i mean one thing is for the game to get more difficult other thing is to make unfair and throw in thing to annoy the player and make him stop playing. This was the case of the tower of light mission with endless puzzles.
On the other hand the mission with reforging the artefacts was pretty good except for following the guy which again was amnoying as hell. The story and stuff with the monster in the basement and realy added to the atmosfere i have to admit that mission was pretty good and atmosferic.
But i am the Streets of rage mission which a horrible slog of mission, every two steps a huge number guards with litle shadows to hide, which is extremely dificult to get trough.
Other bad things the limitations of the thief 3 engine like when you have to grab small ledges you jump.
Overally this game has a great idea behind it the story interesting atmosfere and its great we another thief game bud sadly it quickly becomes a chore and not fun, at least for me.
