Deus Ex vs Thief 2: The Metal Age
Deus Ex
Deus Ex is the first game in the Deus Ex game series which has risen to fame and had gained a massive somewhat-cult following due to its second sequel. The game is incredibly old-school and hence, its graphics may put a lot of players off, but the game offers an immersively detailed storyline that is set in a rather chaotic year of 2052. You even get to play as a super-cool cyborg who has many amazing augments, skills and weapons at his disposal. The game is not all shoot and kill though. It also has many ways for you to avoid bloody confrontation, which frankly will definitely delight players who enjoy having alternative approaches to an encounter.Unlike many other games that adds in fantastical elements to enhance its gameplay, Deus Ex is a game that emphasize on the possible problems and issues that a futuristic human world may experience. It deals in conspiracy and the human nature rather than fantasy and that's what made the game incredibly unique back in the day (and this statement is also relevant until today).
Thief 2: The Metal Age
Thief 2: The Metal Age is the highly anticipated, award-winning sequel to the incredible, stealth-based game, Thief (now called Thief Gold). This game features 15 new, non-linear and complex levels filled with tons of stuff to steal and guards to outwit. The AI in the game has been drastically improved as well, along with the addition of new tools to use and a compelling storyline set in an alternative world where powerful technologies and fanatical religion streneously co-existed.Despite being a rather old-school game, you can experience why this game franchise has blown up back then. Its stealth-based gameplay is pretty awesome and the plot is the best in the series. It is actually this second installment which had inducted the Thief game series into the coveted games' Hall of Fame!
