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.
Yes, it absolutely does. They don’t get to leave the series on a cliffhanger for nearly 20 years and not get called out. What happened to my little gnome dude after we launch that spaceship?!
Thief and Thief II remain some of my most nostalgic PC games ever.

Half-Life doesn’t deserve this slander.
