Pro An element of randomness permits replayability
Important items are placed differently on each play-through adding an element of randomness to how each game plays out.
Pro Emphasis on cooperation makes for interesting gameplay
Your crew needs to bring specific equipment and weapons to make stealth or a gunfight easier. You also need to pay attention to your crew's health and ammo.
Con Stat boosting microtransactions
With Crimefest 2015, the developer (Overkill) decided it would be a good idea to add stat boosting gun skins which can only be acquired through use of real money. This makes for a pay-to-win scenario where people who use real money can gain advantage over non-paying players.
Pro Gives a feeling of power and stealthness
There is an ability called Swoop in the game that allows the main character to dash 15 feet ahead of where they are currently located, this gives a sens of power and really makes on feel as if they are a ninja. One of the best mechanics in the game, which makes the game a lot more enjoyable.
Con Claustrophobic level design
Too often the levels feature narrow corridors and small rooms. This makes for tight situations where it can be difficult to see everything around you due to camera angles and walls in the way.
Pro Line-of-sight system
Monaco implements a line-of-sight system that many top-down games forgo. The lack of complete situational awareness keeps tensions high as you never know what could be around the next corner.
Pro Requires input from all players
Unlike many games where "better" players can carry the group along, Monaco actually allows each player to feel like a hero when their character's skill benefits the group.
Con Requires all players to be good enough
Monaco is not a very good game for adults and children to play together. It can be frustrating when the players' skill levels are too mismatched.
Pro Rich atmosphere
Thief Gold is mainly designed around the three different faction the player will have to interact with. Each faction having their own design motif in the game, giving a feeling of originality when navigating each's territory.
Con Stock controls are not great
Before jumping into the game the user will most likely need to set up the controls in settings as the wasd controls do not allow movement from side to side when first starting the game, while this can be adjusted, it is a pain to have to do this from the get go.
Thief Gold is an updated re-release of the 1998 title, Thief: The Dark Project. TDP helped shape games as we know them today, and is often called the grandaddy of modern stealth games. If you can look past the dated graphics, this game (along with its successor, Thief: The Metal Age) remains the purest stealth experience available on PC.
