Yeah, I like it, but it definitely doesn't feel like.the game I was expecting. Only having one save slot is just asking for people to get stuck and have to start the game over completely. I've also had some issues with voices not syncing up with the mouths and other audio being weird, but that's probably just bc I'm playing it on 360 and it was fine tuned for next gen. The map is also not helpful at all and some of the dialogue is ridiculous. I think 10 minutes in was when Garrett literally said, "If I concentrate, I can think faster." Like that's a superpower? I think that's the definition of concentrate. I also don't understand why they switched out most of the f-bombs for the word "friggin". I never played a Thief game before so I'm not mad that it's not like those. It just feels like this game was made by people who hadn't made a game since before maps and save points and other stuff was fine tuned to be super efficient for the player. I know that's not true. Those things just felt like a huge step backward IMO.
For the most part, I'm enjoying the game and these things might not even be an issue on next gen, but I can see where the negative reviews are coming from.
