This game is the best. Thief Gold is also the best but dammit picking a favorite is hard. I love the paranormal pagan vibes of the first game but this one goes full art deco metropolis mode and it's a wonder to behold. Gold heavily relied on the paranormal missions to help with the pacing whereas Metal Age just mixes up the objectives more. It even ditches the loot quota for most of the missions which is greatly appreciated. You get a hell of a lot more verbs to work with in this game and it never gets dull. Anyways I'm gonna go and snort my Thief Gold case now byebyE
