A lot of people here have been filtered by the levels with ghosts and ghouls, to which i say: Lol.

Real shit though, this is a good game, would be the only good game ever made if Thief II wasn't a Masterpiece Of Time. This is my favorite game ever though out of pure nostalgia, I played this one for hours mastering it, listening to the incredible drum'n'bass ost, and getting immersed in the INCREDIBLE storyline. The pacing is godlike, and the escalation to the incredible finale is so well-earned. Thief Gold fucks up this pacing by adding in 2 of the worst levels ever (thieves guild and mage's tower) and one pretty cool level (the opera house.) I wish there was a way to just play The Dark Project as originally intended but there is a cheat to just skip levels. Do NOT play the Thieves Guild it is like 3 fucking hours long.

It's moody, atmospheric, immersive, you can spend hours getting lost in the world and when you get up to use the restroom you'll feel like you just stepped out of VR. it's so good and the developers should be allowed to legally kill one person of their choice each as reward for working on it.

Playing through this game for the first time currently and yeah this shit rocks so hard

A lot of people are telling me to skip Thieves Guild so I'll probably do that, thanks for the heads up

@Bells check it out on a second or third playthrough. on a first it is just so long and meandering for you to get any fulfillment out of it. also it is sandwiched between 2 of the best levels in the game like a TOTAL asshole.
