Mission objectives vary depending on the difficulty level
thumbnail
The game starts here. You admire the moon and immediately pull out your bow, loading it with water arrows
thumbnail
These maps are helpful, but the levels tend to be large - it will take a while to memorize the layout
thumbnail
Early missions of the game are spent in mansions and alike - not the fine art!
thumbnail
This mission takes place in a warehouse. Looks like the guards are no strangers to poker!..
thumbnail
Offices look modern - note the electric lamp, the system of switches to the right, and so on
thumbnail
You can use special crystals to peek into corridors and spy on guards
thumbnail
I used a noise arrow, trying to wake her up. That didn't work - she is still sleeping...

The game is soaking in atmosphere. Just stand still for a moment in this graveyard...
thumbnail
The city looks so peaceful from up here....
thumbnail
That's what Thief 2 is all about: Hiding in shadows, ambushing guards
thumbnail
The blackjack, silent and effective, is your favorite weapon
thumbnail
The guards run into a mine that Garrett deployed earlier
thumbnail
Look, it's a bank!.. When you use the bow, the view zooms in to allow for better aiming - sniping, the medieval way
thumbnail
Human guards are fierce, but the mechanists' robot creatures are a even tougher
thumbnail
Hidden in a dumb waiter, Garrett's safe from the soldier - and able to snatch some precious cups

The mechanical enemies throw bombs at you

A group of robots (very dangerous!)

The bank vault! Unfortunately, a guard noticed Garrett while he picked the lock...

As with the previous game, you can learn a lot from books and notes
thumbnail
It's important to prepare for a new mission and buy the proper tools

Completion of any mission displays all kinds of stats

The NYPD this isn't, but the sheriff's men still use cubicles at the station

About to enter Soulforge
thumbnail
Lonely fire during the mission Life of the Party
thumbnail
Sneaking around in Trail of Blood mission
thumbnail
You can carry corpses and hide them to avoid detection
thumbnail
Indoor levels are detailed and lush. You detonate a few mines to express your social protest against such luxury
thumbnail
Is this a sword in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?.. You can scare innocent people, but they will surely call the guards!..
thumbnail
Each mission is preceded by an elaborate cutscene
thumbnail
This mission involves following a courier through the city streets. Note the lamps
thumbnail
The game has a lot of pseudo-religious imagery, often presented as a dark version of Roman Catholicism
thumbnail
Treasure chests and cog wheels - how typical of this game's unique setting!.. You release a little beast from an egg to express your admiration

Look, this is a gramophone! It's working, too!..
thumbnail
One of the strange locations of the game - an icy prison...

There is only a tiny bit of swimming in the game. You can dive, though, if you feel like it

thumbnail
Listening to a conversation in a beautifully decorated hall

Narrow corridors and pipes are not uncommon. You check your gold...
thumbnail
Strange mixture of medieval magic and technology permeats the game. You feel hungry and eat a deer leg while thinking about that
thumbnail
Nearing the game's end. Lots of green here, yet it feels strange and creepy against the technological backdrop
