What players say
Played this game when I was about 10 years old, my dad bought it and ever since i watched him play I wanted to join in on the fun. This game was made with real craft. No dumb subscription to play, or DLC to buy. I wish they would make a re-mastered version of this game. 10/10

Steam doing their usual and porting an old game without any fix and rendering the experience unplayable. I used to love that game and bought it again for nostalgia. Can't even pass the first ladder because it was not optimized.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.

You are Garrett, the master thief. Rarely seen and never caught, Garrett is the best that ever was. Able to sneak past any guard, pick any lock, and break into the most ingeniously secured residences. Garrett steals from the wealthy and gives to himself, making his living in the dark and foreboding City.
