Three Reasons to Play Square Enix’s Dark Stealth Thriller, Thief
We had four, but somebody stole one of them
Developed by Eidos Montreal and published by Square Enix, Thief is a modern reimagining of the gritty first-person stealth franchise by the same name that once again casts players as master thief, Garrett. And starting today, NVIDIA SHIELD owners can play the game with a GeForce NOW membership ($7.99/month and free to try out for three months) at no additional cost.
Here are three key reasons why you won’t want to miss out on Garrett’s gripping return in Thief.
A Gorgeous Gothic City to Explore (and Steal from)
Set in a fictional metropolis known only as The City, the world of Thief features a stunning aesthetic that merges elements of steampunk with the sights and sounds of the Victorian era.
As Garrett, players explore the plague ravaged streets of The City—which is now under the rule of a tyrant who calls himself the Baron—while infiltrating its structures and hiding in the shadows. The development team utilized Epic Games’ Unreal Engine proprietary graphics technology to bring Thief’s stunning dark fantasy settings to life.
Be the Type of Thief You Want to
Featuring a variety of missions where Garrett is tasked with infiltrating buildings and stealing valuable objects from The City’s wealthy elite, Thief features non-linear gameplay where players have the freedom to approach missions as they choose.
They can heavily rely on weapons—like a crossbow and blackjack club—to take a more aggressive, head-on approach for eliminating enemies. However, players can also take a non-lethal approach by blending in with environments and sneaking past guards. It’s really up to you to determine how best to tackle missions.
Enjoy the Full Edition of the Game on SHIELD
With an NVIDIA SHIELD device, such as the SHIELD Android TV, you can stream the full version of Thief directly to your device. And thanks to the cloud-based computing power of GeForce NOW, none of the stunning level of detail is lost on the new SHIELD edition. By streaming the game on GeForce NOW, you’re also saving a chunk of money as the full version of Thief carries a regular price of $29.99 on Steam.
