Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The plot is nice to follow, and is explained throughout logs you read in the levels as well as nicely drawn comic strips between missions, and the main character certainly is an interesting one.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Filcher takes on the model of Looking Glass Studios's original Thief series to build it's game, and succeeded very well at capturing the essence of LGS's stealth gameplay.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The sound design has been well worked on, as it should, but some levels could use more ambient tracks, but the ones that are there are certainly enjoyable and does a good job at setting the mood and increasing immersion.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The tranq dart works somewhat similarly to the one found in Deus Ex, and the flashlight will put you at maximum light detection, which can sometimes work quite well at attracting attention and can be used for that purpose instead of just lighting up dark corners.
