Well I got my hands on it.
It's okay so far. I remember the original Thief stuck you in a large area (some more maze-like than others) and you had to explore it based on the objectives given to you. That was awesome.
Here, it's a modern linear "standard-fare" FPS. I don't mind games holding my hand nowadays cause I rather be done with the game sooner rather than later, but this is pretty disappointing for a Thief game. I wouldn't have minded a larger area to explore. Good thing I bought the Thief Trilogy on Steam for cheap, i'm gonna install Windows after this game and relive the old memories.
