Modern technology advances have given gamers the freedom and capability to explore and become immersed in its realistic gaming worlds. PlayStation 4's Thief takes full advantage of these advances by providing a thrilling adventure with a unique twist of stealthiness and plain grandeur.

Thief is the latest iteration of a beloved series following the exploits of Garrett, a master thief, and his many attempts at defying the powers that be. As the game progresses, Garrett's cunning and mischievous ways lead him into a daring cat-and-mouse chase with a sinister and powerful figure.

The game is set in a fictional 19th-century city (known by its inhabitants as 'The City') where the player embarks on various tasks intended to aid Garrett in his mission to bring balance to a society oppressed by religious zealots and a powerful aristocracy. Players can choose from three distinct playing styles, each of which feature distinct abilities and upgrades.

The game strikes a balance between stealth and action, with both being integral elements that come into play in the game's missions. The stealth element is incorporated into the narrative in order to make the game more replayable by allowing the player to tackle missions in more than one way.

The almost enlightened color palette of the environments underlines the bitter-sweet atmosphere of the game. The enchanting range of detail and nuances, from food baskets on the street corners to delicate flower petals scattered in the wind, make the outdoor environments come to life. By contrast, hiding indoors brings its own rewards, with dark alcoves, secret halls and underground lairs providing plenty of options to sneak past patrolling guards or root out the most pertinent objects of value.

The gameplay features a myriad of options, puzzles and collectibles, such as jewelry, coins and other items. These reward the player with an ever-growing arsenal of tools and cleverly concealed items, making the game more fun and providing a meaningful sense of progression.

Weapon upgrades are also available from an array of merchants, offering new tools of the trade to use in the daring mission ahead. The arsenal of weapons at the player's disposal also includes a bow and arrow, black jacks, a glove and a breach bomb, just to name a few.

The freedom of choice allows the player to choose how to proceed - either do as you please or stick to a specific plan and execute it to perfection in order to overcome the many obstacles that your inventiveness can't clear. All of these choices come together to blend an adventure of action and mystery in Thief. With PlayStation 4, Thief provides a great combination of classic and modern gaming; a combination of stealth, wit, and power.
