Don't leave us hanging! Quality endures the ages, well, mostly.
Personally, I would say:
All of those games have, IMO, a tremendously good sync between gameplay and story, where everything lines up to the point where you can become fully absorbed into whatever experience the writer/designer crafted. I would say Thief accomplishes it the best, while Mafia's and Deus Ex's clunky gameplay hold them back, but I can see what they were trying to achieve, and overall are close enough to my ideal.
That's a fun mix, Gemini Rue was a pleasant surprise to see!
You might also enjoy Primordia given that.
Oddly enough I actually pre-ordered a physical copy of Primordia, and got a ways into it before stopping for some reason. I should really go back and finish it!
