Oct. 2024

Much more streamlined (in a good way--those '90s level designers were crazy man) than the first, while keeping all the stuff that made the first so special. Great worldbuilding, cool gameplay, cool story. Audio is still rarely matched even among AAA games. The story does feel very slightly disjointed, as it was in fact put together after the fact as a way to string together a bunch of cool levels the developers had made. All in all, not a bad way to do things, and a few elements (the antagonist, Karras) stick out as being great nonetheless. Plus, I say this without the rose tinted glasses, seeing as this game was released before I was born.

Sept. 2024

It's like Thief but with larger levels, more emphasis on human enemies, and insane replayability with the amount of secrets you can find in each level. There's nothing quite like it.

Aug. 2024

Was going smoothly until the last level, where the Stage 1 piece cannot be converted into Stage 2. A shame, given it was one of the more interesting levels in the whole game. If you're planning on playing this, INSTALL T2FIX . Seriously. Other than the bugs, this game has huge levels, a greater focus on the city, and overall felt even more ambitious than the preceding entry. The NPC dialogues are in a league of their own as always, while the mechanist children add a whole new level of challenge and eerieness. Absolutely loved the exploration and slowly uncovering Karras' plot. Some of these levels are among my favorite in the series, although, of course, both games could use a lot more signposting throughout. Overall, another cult classic that inspired gems like Dishonored and Bioshock; Although not without its faults, Thief II provides, ambition, frustration, and entertainment all in one stealth-filled package from 24 years ago.

June 2024

Been playing Halo through the last week, was bored, listless and frustrated by dated repetitive gameplay. Then I buy this on sale and play through it with glee that I never thought I could have by very slowly skulking through shadows.

June 2024

Thief 2 is generally regarded as the best one in the franchise and my personal favorite as well. It has vastly improved levels, with more ways to sneak around and complete your objectives, along with some fun new enemies and gadgets. Apart from that, the gameplay and design is the same as TDP with minor changes and honestly thats fine by me.
