I would like to disagree – I played Strife recently for the first time and must say that it was fun and even refreshing experience. I found it unbelievable that I didn’t know about it earlier. I have no problems with those graphics, and the action is classic formulae, which has obviously worked very well to this day, as we see reincarnation of this formulae in modern games. Considering Thief games – I think they are worth playing, the same way playing an old puzzle or FPS game is worth it. Graphics are not such a big argument -> the general feeling you get from world and it’s atmosphere doesn’t need fancy graphics, it needs just the correct choice of art, music, narration and in that regard Thief is a great game. People need just an hour to see past the older graphics and animations to be able to immerse themselves. That is true for any old game – I’ve played titles 20 years later after they have been released, and after the initial shock, if it is a good game – it stand its test of time.

Honestly one of the reasons I started the Corvo run was to see if it really did have a strip of cloth down the middle. ¬_¬

Yeah, if you liked Dishonored this is an absolute must-buy since it does all that stuff but better.

It’s difficult to say no, but honestly? No. They haven’t aged well, and if you’re not playing them with full knowledge of what they meant at the time it’s difficult to get past the awful graphics and occasionally clunky level layouts. It’s like Strife, which I saw repeatedly talked up as a proto-Deus Ex, but when I played it I couldn’t get over how dated the Doom-era mechanics were.

That being said, if you own them already it’s probably worth playing through the first level of 1 and 2 to see what the fuss was about – it helps that the opening levels are one of the best in each game.

Do you think it’s worth playing through any of the thief games at this point in time?

I loved Dishonored 1 for its levels. And music. It was a good game but great experience if you dig all that pseudo-Victorian stuff. I’ve finished the game non-lethally and was in awe of the beauty of the game and world details. Then I’ve played again on higher chaos and was also amazed how fun it is to resort to violence.

You have now moved it to the top of my priorities.
