Deus Ex vs Thief Gold
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 Gold
Thief Gold is the very first Thief game in the franchise and it is possibly the most revolutionary back in the day. With stealth as the core of its gameplay, you'll need to use whatever tools (blackjack, sword, and a variety of arrows) and skills you have to steal goods and information alike while you gradually uncover the secret agendas of various important people in a story of deception and vengeance. The game even has advanced enemies that are more aware than most, can sound the dreaded alarms, and can communicate with other enemies to relay information.Thief Gold is a classic stealth game that many modern games are inspired by. However, the game might not have aged as well, and the graphics may put you off. Thankfully there are mods, right? Well, if you've got the chance and you love stealth games, this is definitely a game you should try.
