History YMMV / ThiefTheDarkProject

** Oddly, the final level is fairly easy, only requiring Garret to remain hidden and swap the eyes.

** The red spiders (AKA "Spiderbeasts") are a literal example: they have twice the hp of the green spiders and spit purple orb things as well as engulfing Garret in webs that slow him down until he clicks enough times to remove them.

* {{Narm}}: The infamous eye-ripping scene is utterly terrifying. Still, there are a couple of things that could take the impact away a bit, mostly involving the ways [[spoiler: Constantine and Viktoria]] speak after they drop their charades. Not only is the Trickster a [[LargeHam ham-and-a-half]], but no matter how horrifying a monster he is, it's a little hard to take someone seriously when his aliases include "Honeymaker", "Jacksberry", and [[InherentlyFunnyWords "Woodsie"]] Lord. The two of them refer to Garret as "Manfool", and have a rather odd syntax on top of it all, pluralizing words that honestly don't "needs" it.

* BestLevelEver: "The Sword" i.e. Constantine's mansion is mainly seen as one of the best levels in the game. In spite of its difficulty, many fans were won over by the sheer surreal, unnerving nature of the level with its rampant {{Bizarrchitecture}}. Special mention goes to the secret MacroZone area.

** The new level from ''Gold'', "Song of the Caverns", is also seen as the best of three additional levels. While the previous two are rather divisive due to being [[MarathonLevel labyrinth-like marathon levels]]; this one is loved for its varied nature, the opera house setting, and its humorous BaitAndSwitch at the start making the player think its another cave exploration level.

* DemonicSpiders: The red spiders (AKA "Spiderbeasts") are a literal example: they have twice the hp of the green spiders and spit purple orb things as well as engulfing Garret in webs that slow him down until he clicks enough times to remove them.

* GoddamnBats: Zombies. They're one of the few humanoid enemies that can't be knocked out, and defeating them permanantly requires Holy Water and Water Arrows. On top of that, their grunts and groans are completely interchangeable, make it hard to tell when one of them is on to you by audio cues alone, and some of them like to just lie around disguised as normal corpses until they groan and spring to life when you come near.
** Burricks and their poisonous, flammable breath. Is it any wonder they were [[TheScrappy hunted down to extinction]] by the time of ''VideoGame/ThiefIITheMetalAge''?

* BreatherLevel: Especially in ''Thief Gold'' where you're coming from a number of rather long and tricky missions, "Undercover" is a simple and short level which not only gives you a perfectly accurate map for most of the level, but also starts you in a disguise that causes most enemies to ignore you unless you do something suspicious.

** To this very day, fans still argue whether or not the more [[Franchise/TombRaider]] like cave exploring levels are a good fit for this game. Some enjoy them for the atmosphere and allowing the game to have more diverse missions while others deride them because they stray too far away from what a ''Thief'' game should be about.

* BrokenBase: The two missions from ''Gold'', "Thieves' Guild" and "Mage Towers", divide the fanbase. Some fans love them for being extremely large, varied, and unique levels while other fans deride them for being way too long, confusing, and outright boring at times.
