Game Information

Garrett, the Master Thief, steps out of the shadows into the City. In this treacherous place, where the Baron’s Watch spreads a rising tide of fear and oppression, his skills are the only things he can trust. Even the most cautious citizens and their best-guarded possessions are not safe from his reach.
As an uprising emerges, Garrett finds himself entangled in growing layers of conflict. Lead by Orion, the voice of the people, the tyrannized citizens will do everything they can to claim back the City from the Baron’s grasp. The revolution is inevitable. If Garrett doesn’t get involved, the streets will run red with blood and the City will tear itself apart.

Garrett never paid the price for anything… until now.

Review Note:

Solid 60 fps once everything loads in on normal preset with vsync off.

It is a bit difficult to launch it, I am using an external drive and each time I play I have to:
1. Open Steam with the drive plugged in
2. Launch the game once, it crashes
3. Unplug the external drive and plug it back in
4. Before it's mounted, click play to get the "Missing executable" error
5. Once it is mounted, click play again. It will trigger a redownload of some files
6. A popup will open, click "Don't Restore"
Game will then open normally
