Thief: Definitive Edition

2014

Stealth

This stealth revival prioritizes shadow and sound above all else, tasking players with navigating intricate environments while pilfering valuables. Garret's limited arsenal and the need to extinguish light sources force a slow, considered pace, rewarding patience and observation with the thrill of a successful heist. The focus on environmental interaction, from climbing ivy to extinguishing torches, cemented its reputation as a thinking person's stealth game.

About Thief: Definitive Edition

Details
Garrett, the Master Thief, steps out of the shadows into the City. In this treacherous place, where the Baron’s Watch spreads a rising tide of fear and oppression, his skills are the only things he can trust. Even the most cautious citizens and their best-guarded possessions are not safe from his reach.
