![]() I don't play many modern games, so there are probably more games where this is true, Crysis 2 probably being the latest game I have played to this day. I looked back and realised that I felt exactly the same in Farcry, Crysis, Crysis 2, Thief Gold and even Thief 2 (final level has almost no humanoids in it). I enjoy it, as long as you're dealing with humans, but once it's about monsters, I stop enjoying the game. a pattern that seems to be true for me across all games. Undercover would probably be my highest-rated Thief 1 level, but it's also pitifully easy on Expert.Īnd then I realised something else. If I had to pick the top 5 levels in Thief Gold and Thief 2, they would all be Thief 2 levels (Party, Bank, Eavesdropping, Framed and either one of the Gervasius-missions (except I don't like the scary library sub-quest)). Return to the Cathedral is okay - once you know the shortcut to circumventing the second half of the level (yay, fetch quests!). I just replayed it and ghosted it for the first time (no alarms, no blackjacking, 100% loot, I guess that counts as ghosting?), that was kinda fun, so I might add this to the list. Bafford's is okay, I'm of two minds about that one. The Sword and Undercover are the only two missions I would even consider good. ![]() You can't even buy equipment, so it's a bit silly that you can collect loot in these levels. ![]() Escape, Strange Bedfellows, Maw of Chaos - not terrible, but it's not Thief to me. And then there are many levels where you don't get to do any actual thieving. These are probably the worst two, but I didn't enjoy Song of the Caverns, Bonehoard either. I find them just too large (The Guild), too repetitive (Mage Towers). Worst offenders are the levels added by Thief Gold, obviously. I think this is probably because of the ambient sound, the suspenseful music playing all the way through the level? Not sure, I can't pin it down.Ģ: There are so many levels I just simply don't enjoy. I don't just mean the zombies and haunted levels, I mean - overall. Now, when looking at the list of missions in my savegames, I noticed two things especially.ġ: Thief Gold is scarier than Thief 2. I think this is the main reason why I prefer Thief 2 - no Zombies (almost). I can do it now, because I've learned how to deal with the undead, but I still don't enjoy those levels. I couldn't do it, not even during daytime and with company. And my memories of it aren't that old either, because when it first came out (I remember playing the demo and being blown away by the concept), I was so scared of the undead, I didn't actually make it past the second level until several years later. Thief Gold is certainly not as good as I remember it to be. I forced myself to, because I was too lazy to install another game, but. Upon completion, I looked at my list of savegames and realised that there are barely any missions in Thief Gold I had any desire to play again. I wanted to play more, but I didn't want to play it again. That being said, however, I just replayed Thief Gold (on normal) and once I was done, I found myself in a weird place.
