Thief: Deadly Shadows

Strong, story-driven narrative

As master thief Garrett you creep through a gloomy, steampunk-tinged city, using light and shadow to slip past guards. Dense atmosphere, free-roaming city hubs and a conspiracy among the Keepers define the experience.

Thief: The Dark Project

Strong soundtrack

A pioneer of the stealth genre: as master thief Garrett you use light, shadow and sound to stay unseen in a gloomy, medieval-steampunk city. Dense atmosphere and a tale of intrigue and revenge define the experience.

Desperados III

Tactical depth

A Wild West stealth real-time tactics game where you guide John Cooper's gang through huge, intricately designed levels and coordinate simultaneous moves with Showdown Mode. Every mission plays like an open-ended puzzle with many solutions, carried by a revenge story and banter between distinct characters.

Thief

Lavish presentation

As master thief Garrett, you sneak through a grim, plague-ridden city in first person, looting mansions from the shadows rather than fighting openly. The reboot of the classic series leans on moody atmosphere and multiple routes through its missions, though it feels more linear than its predecessors.
