These games are some of my favorites. The Return to the Cathedral level is one of the spookiest areas I've ever encountered in a game.

Deadly Shadows is generally regarded as the worst in the series, FYI. Or at least it was prior to the reboot. I dont know what the community considers worse, Deadly Shadows or the reboot.
Deadly Shadows is at least considered canon with the other two. From what I've seen, it's seen as the weakest of the three because of clunky gameplay mechanics like all the loading screens and such, though I have found some people who love the other two games and still consider the third their favorite. I don't know if there are any fans of the original trilogy who also like the reboot, but maybe they're out there.
Also, I think this might be because of bugs, but you can just go on a murder spree in some parts of Deadly Shadows with no consequences. There's one level in the original Thief Gold where you can do that, and I think it's also because of a bug, but I always tell myself it's because this area's not only secluded and deep underground, but also easy to permanently dispose of the bodies there (lava everywhere), so I just do the worst to the annoying enemies there. Lol.
