Thief 2 remains one of the most celebrated stealth games of all time, and for good reason. Building on the foundation laid by the original Thief it refines the stealth mechanics, deepens the atmosphere, and expands on the steampunk inspired world in ways that still resonate with players today. At its core, Thief 2 is a masterclass in immersive simulation. Players once again step into the shoes of Garrett, the cynical master thief, navigating through sprawling environments that encourage creativity, patience, and cunning. The game strips away much of the supernatural focus from the first entry, instead emphasizing industrial intrigue, political corruption, and the rise of a new authoritarian regime powered by mechanized technology. This tonal shift grounds the game in a more believable, oppressive world that feels alive and reactive. The level design is where The Metal Age truly shines.

Best thief game. Incredible atmosphere and level design
Even though they play the exact same, I found Thief 2 a significant improvement over Thief 1 in every possible way and that's simply because of the levels. I liked Thief 1 but I LOVED Thief 2. If you were disappointed by the Indiana Jones Tomb Raider type of levels in the first then this is the game that you want. It's 99.9% breaking and entering and burglary in urban locations and fancy manors and only 0.1% Indiana Jones and The Temple Of Theft. Still recommend finishing the first game as it is fun and good and the story is relatively connected.
Quite literally one of the BEST stealth games ever made that blows modern stealth titles out the water 25 years later. If you enjoyed Thief 1, you'll love this. There's absolutely no focus on the undead in this, they make cameo appearances at most in this game so if you had gripes with the undead levels (like I did) then you'll find this game to be a lot more enjoyable, but this isn't saying they completely ditch the supernatural elements of the first game. Takes everything great about Thief 1, improves upon it and discards all the bad. The level design is noticeably better and the new gadgets and story are top tier.
Awesome sequel to an already great game. Its an upgrade in every aspect to the previous one and a must play imho.
