Victorian England is one of my favourite settings, you almost can't go wrong picking this time period for a game, movie, etc. Yet creators of this game failed miserably. This game was made out of necessity rather than genuine enthusiasm. A number of programmers had finished working on Deus Ex: Human Revolution and were lazily roaming around the office drinking coffee. So publisher had to assign them to some other task. And then they remembered that there's a Thief franchise and people are kinda asking for the next game. They cobbled together a new team from idling employees and they created this talentless, boring, stupid... and don't get me started on the plot because it is idiotic!
