This is the 210th instalment of our first impression video series. Today, we are playing Thief for the first time.

Welcome to the 210th instalment of our first impression video series. Today, we are playing the Playstation 4 game, Thief for the first time. You can check out the video directly on YouTube or in the embed below:

This is one of those games where I’ve heard of it, but never actually played it. So, this is a whole new experience for me. Right away, the controls definitely threw me. I’m so used to R3 being a run button, not a sneak button. Still, this game has already made me feel like someone who isn’t observant at all which is… unusual considering how observant I normally am. So, I didn’t feel particularly brilliant on my first few minutes of playing, so you get to largely see me fumble my way through the opening areas. Fun!

Still, even as I got towards the end of 10 minutes, I could definitely see myself gradually getting used to the controls. In fact, shortly after the video, I did find myself getting a little bit better with the controls pretty quickly, so I think my skills can only improve from here.

So, I wanted to hear from you. For those who have played this game, what are your thoughts on this game? Was this a very fun and unique gaming experience for you or did this feel too far out of your comfort zone?

For those who have played other games in the franchise, but not this one, what did you think of what you saw here? Does this look like a game you’d be interested in playing or do you think you want to stick with other games in the series instead?

Also, for those who haven’t played this game, what are your thoughts on what you saw here? Does this look like an interesting game to check out or do you shudder at the idea of playing anything involving stealth? Let us know in the comments below!
