Thief and Thief II remain some of my most nostalgic PC games ever.

    They really don't make games like this anymore, and I put 100% of the blame on Half-Life. Before Half-Life, shooters were going all in on being "immersive sims." Then Half-Life came out and showed you can use linear set pieces in a FPS to tell a mediocre story and people, for some reason, will absolutely love it.
