But that pretty much IS most of his review - he even admits it himself that he cannot give the game a fair treatment instead of comparing everything to Thief 2. Some of his criticisms are spot on but most of them are just "this is different than Thief 2".

So, in short: "WHIIINE, IT'S NOT A COPY-PASTE OF THIEF 2, WHIIIINE". But then again, you don't go watching Yahtzee to see an unbiased review. As for the game itself: It's good. Not great, has issues, could be done better. But it's still fun as hell, has the "Thief" thing right if you want it...

Sadly you also have to deal with: 1.) One of the worst (and ugliest) UIs I've seen in years 2.) One of the most unintuitive controls I've seen in years 3.) Dying due to camera or opponent lock being silly 4.) Slog through the same opponents over and over and OVER and OOOOOVER again because...
