We’ve all heard and are bored to death with the story: In 1998, Thief: the Dark Project was released by now-dead developer Looking Glass Studios for the PC, two months after Metal Gear Solid arrived on the Playstation. It defined the stealth genre and was acclaimed by many for its open-ended, creative gameplay. The sequel, Thief II, was also made by Looking Glass, just before the developer shut its doors in 2000. It was slightly better than its predecessor but sold a substantial amount less. We’ve heard it, we’ve memorized it, and now it’s behind us. On to what’s important – Thief: Deadly Shadows.
