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!
