Evaluation

Thief II: The Metal Age is a classic stealth game originally developed by Looking Glass Studios and released in March 2000. It arrived on Steam on May 22, 2012 as a straightforward re-release of the finished product. The developer, Looking Glass Studios, closed its doors in 2000 shortly after the game shipped, making any future content development impossible. The store description reflects the original 2000 game with no mention of post-launch content, updates, DLC, or any ongoing development. The game shipped as a complete, self-contained experience with 15 missions and no post-launch content ever planned or delivered. There is nothing outstanding or unresolved — this is a fully complete classic title.
