THIEF can be used for climbing or light for guiding your way. Focus can also be used to slow down time. This effect helps Garrett steal more effectively whilst pick pocketing. The Focus ability can also be used to take out enemies in a moment of attack. Thief visually has a very uncanny resemblance to that of the 2012 Bethesda Softworks game, Dishonoured. Presenting an often dark, smog ridden environment, Square Enix have encapsulated the visual effects of a Victorian age. Slick visuals such as light refraction through window panes, the play on shadows in the night and minute details in the Victorian era buildings and furniture confirms that a great amount of time and effort has been taken to ensure that the game play is a treasuretrove for the eyes. 2014 is heating up to be a massive year for gaming and Thief is one title that we are very excited about. We will have a full review for you on this title once it’s released!
