Can't say I find it too appealing or creative. Just Garrett reaching out and attempting to grab the white logo from a dark background.

Seriously, the original trilogy's covers were more creative with their colour use than this!

I quite like it. It's pretty understated, all things considered.

I'm not sure it's representative of the final game given the rest of the info we've got but that's besides the point really, isn't it?

Yeah, they really toned down the emo for the box. The green eye is still smoking, but Im sure all will be revealed with time. Thanks for the heads up.

This is the worst modern game cover art I've seen so far.... FFS, are they doing everything on purpose to hate it despite all the effort I do trying to like it ?

Now, I'm mad :mad:

Terrible artwork. He looks like taffing ninja hitman. The garment is like taffing kimono. His expression is stiff and evil.

Also that high tech composite bow. :mad:

Nah, you guys would have hated anything that wasn't just a copy of Thief 1 or 2, clearly. You can't see the bow in detail and if you think that looks like a kimono you've never seen a kimono.

This is pretty good.

IMO this is neither good nor bad. Just... bland. And literal.

skacky on 15/8/2013 at 22:57

Yup, same opinion here. It gets the job done but it's very generic.

Asquith on 15/8/2013 at 23:06

The ONLY thing good abut the box art is that it doesn't have awards, stars, "GAME OF THE FOREVER" BLAH! BLAH! BLAH! and pre-order DLC stickers plastered all over the front. At least not yet.

Can't wait for the Limited Collector's Super Duper Enhanced Edition:
