Depends on the game. Like I think first 2 Thief games are the greatest games ever and they're in 3D but holy shit the Castlevania games are fucking fantastic. I think Rondo of Blood's my favorite but I haven't played all of them

Also be warned. Thief 1 and 2 have basically the same engine and gameplay and are generally considered two halves of a whole. However Thief 1 is about half-stealth, half supernatural horror whereas Thief 2 is almost entirely stealth missions. Some people love the horror elements in Thief 1 whereas some people absolutely hate it and get filtered by it. If you find you like the stealth gameplay but hate the horror levels maybe skip to Thief 2 and then revisit Thief 1 later. Personally I love the horror levels and would recommend playing 1 before 2 but keep that in mind.

They're great games. Best stealth system ever devised and still un-topped even by great games like Chaos Theory (which stole more than half its good ideas from Thief in the first place). It's entirely light and, especially, sound based. By just leaning into a closed door you can hear exactly where an incoming enemy is coming from. Not just that but you can hear the direction and what kind of surfaces they're walking on even without seeing the room. Problem is the guards can hear your footsteps too although it depends on what surface your walking on and whether you're running, walking or creeping over it.
