Thief Gold and Thief 2 were developed by Looking Glass Studios, and one of the classics in the immersive sim genre / 0451 style, and gaming altogether. It really comes down to if you prefer more atmospheric, maze-like levels (which can be its greatest strength, or weakness) in Thief Gold, or if you prefer more tightly condensed levels all focused on thieving in Thief 2.
This Thief & Thief 2 review/analysis/retrospective will answer these questions and more!
