Now, the AI is kind of retarded (slow response time, like maybe double that of vanilla Deus Ex but I could be completely off just vibing here man you get me) but dynamic enough in their investigation/chase behavior to make no area feel entirely safe until I cleared out the entire level. Unlike in Thief, the map does not show your current position, so you have to use that friend Brian of ours who is quite helpful when we are not too busy drinking and masturbating our life away. Like Thief, there are documents to find that foreshadow dank lore and provide hints about the environment, as well as maps of the area to discover. You start in what appears to be a relatively linear area tutorial area but if you poke around it's actually a multi-level compound with many nooks, crannies, and hidden passages, and teeming with enemies (which, unlike in SS2, do not respawn). The real time grid inventory and only being able to save at phonographs are major tip-offs that SS2 inspired the game on a foundational level.ġst level is really good IMO, gave me the same vibe as playing Thief for the first time. At least on the Full Moon difficulty (highest available in the first EA release,) the power differential between the PC and the enemies seems pretty comparable to Thief - direct combat, unless you have the resources and proper set-up, is punished with swift lethality - but instead of incentivizing ghosting, the game does drip-feed resources such as weapons, ammo, explosive barrels, etc that allow you to eliminate every threat on the level provided you explore thoroughly and exercise an decent level of tactical and situational awareness. I think it can be most accurately described as having something like 60% Thief DNA and 40% System Shock 2 DNA. It's not exactly Thief, but it is far from being a casualized power fantasy rape simulator like Dishonored. Not sure why people are saying that it's nothing like Thief. Your mom does it for the marketing purposes ahaĪnyway, took me 3.9 hours according to steam but I beatenered the demo and I believe found every secret. ![]()
