Thief Simulator

Controller does not work properly. First impression: Why is game asking me to use keyboard to input name? It stops controller working on menu screen, had to reset. Choose one input method. Left stick stopped working in game.

I got stuck behind a tiny fence panel and gave up, character can only jump vertically six inches from the ground, climbing seems impossible. There is funny jank and janky jank, this is the latter.

On the positive side it is cheap and the voice acting is quite good.

Its pretty fun but a bit grindy. Tad bit too jank, but worth it if its on sale

I mean it's old by now, but I remember watching some YouTubers play it a few years ago and it's about as fun as I expected. I'm a fan of stealth games, and while some of the rules don't seem to make much sense, it's still an enjoyable game when I don't have anything else I want to play or I've gotten tired of the other games I have.

I actually had a blast playing through this game and was planning to go for 100% achievements however the ending broke and after multiple attempts I literally cant even finish the game. Cannot in good conscience recommend a game that is literally unfinishable but if the bug was ever fixed I would probably update this review.

Very fun game even after all these years. Really good commands too! I would love to see a multiplayer thief simulator game once. Also please fix vram issues for thief simulator 2

this game is pretty good and fun with some bugs.

Some games steal the lock picking mechanic from Oblivion and other games steal the lock picking mechanic from Skyrim. Never have i seen a game copy both. Maybe the name thief simulator is meta commentary?

(Buy on sale or get a copy from your "online friend" for even cheaper. )

Great game, easy to follow instructions

It's fine game, but it has some bugs and performance issues that I know 100% that it won't be fixed. And why the hell can't we hide under the bed but on the Switch I can hide under the bed and in closets? I don't understand that. It's the SAME GAME.

This game needs a mobile version with a price tag on it. I won't download it for free and watch pointless ads. Anyway. Back to the game. It's a fine game. Animations need more work. Music is oh kay. 4/10 for me.

I got it on sale for a few $
been having a good time
Like it is the classic "sim" type of games that do be serious enough but doesn't take itself seriously

By that it knows it is arcady and the voice acting is really bit cartoonish but there isn't like stupid shit happening

this game is amazing im away for work and this game reminds of my home country of romania when i used to steal, the devs should add the rpmanian dlc (pickpocket) 10/10

I wish it was more clear what items are unique and can be displayed.
Or make all items respawn i dont like the thought of accidentitaly selling something unqiue.
10/10 itches my kleptomania

I bought this game to give it a go, can't complain about the price as I bought it for £1.67.

However for the full price of the game off-sale I would not recommend it. Game feels very janky with unpolished game mechanics that take a lot of the joy that the game could have brought game play wise. I don't own any of the DLCs but I think the developers really need to invest more time into the base game before making anymore.

Things that are good:
- Game has a NPC routine system, you can learn NPCs Routines to decide when to rob a house.
- Individual Items with Values
- Story with Voice Acting

Things that really need polish or attention:
- A window on the first mission does not allow you to spot the NPC through it however the window next to it does, they share the same or similar model.
- NPCs are pretty janky, getting in there way can lead them to call the police.
- Movement feels very very begginer Unity tutorial.

I know i got this game for very little I'm just leaving a Not Recommended as I really did not find the game play enjoyable.

on this game you can learn how to do the same thing in real life helping you rob houses

great game
i robbed 52 houses
killed someone with my car once
hid from police
before buying the game
after i bought the game i did more stuff than i did before

SPOILER ALERT
The game is very fun, for a polish person this feels like a dream come true, but the dlc part kinda ruins the game, because you cant see the cars, tractors or trains you steal

Game is good. Couple of glitches (in my favor) where the cops don't actually respond to the scene. A lot of fun!. Tutorials could be more detailed. Disassembling the vehicles can be difficult at first and the game doesn't explain how to use night vision when you buy it. 8/10 in my opinion.

Overall: 7/10

This game is jank, and buggy. However if you can roll with it and maybe consider it part of its charm its enjoyable.

The AI is generally easy to predict and pretty dumb. But worth a try, especially on sale

Bought it on sale, waited a while before trying it and it felt pretty janky and under cooked for first impressions. I tried to refund but sadly waited too long to try it and was denied, decided to play it more to see if it gets better, it doesn't really. The idea is good, but very poor execution.

The loop of the game is to figure out the schedules of a house and scope it out, but this is an annoying task that requires you to run back and forth between the house and a parking spot to sleep to skip time, you can't skip time outside of a parking lot. The driving is very stiff, and kind of creates a motion sickness just from the stuttery feel it has.

The AI is pretty basic, they spot randomly opened windows or cabinets with hawk like accuracy, instantly calling cops. You can't threaten them or anything of the sort, its sort of an insta fail if you get caught. The animations are god awful, with one of the worst being NPCs leaving their house by sliding across the ground.

I quit right after realizing how basic the loop is, and got bored, honestly maybe the 2nd one is better, but this one belongs in the walmart $5 bargain bin.

Overall: 8/10
*Good Stealth Mechanics
*Decent Story
*HORRIBLE Driving
*Occasional Lighting Bugs

The game is not bad at all. The majority of the game play loop is fun, but pretty slow paced. The driving in this game is horrible, but your really not driving that much so its tolerable. The story is not really much of a story and more-so a guide on how to progress, but it still adds an extra bit of fun. I bought the game on sale for like a dollar, but there is probably a few hundred hours of game play before you do everything. I think it is worth buying, even if it's not on sale.

absolutely incredible.. id say 12+ age rating for suggestive scenes (stealing from people etc.) the most violent part is being tased, which happens in an instant and is totally non-graphic. also the ending of the story mode has |||||| SPOILER WARNING! |||||| -- relatively mild explosions

Great game, I feel how immersive it is and when im running from the cops or hiding in a closet; you can feel the thrill of it and taking apart cars (low key kinda hard) is also fun, taking stuff to the pawn shop is also great.


I know im a little late to a review but if you have then you NEED to, if you like try thief simulator 2 (EVEN better)

Really fun game despite having technical flaws such as being seen through walls etc.

But this kinda comes with the type of game this is and is not meant to be taken too seriously.

7.5/10

Let's be honest, most of Playway's catalog is low effort sim game slop, this one stands up a little better than the others and for $2 on sale you can't complain too much. A little bit of problem solving with routines and patrols to find the best angle of attack, but not much depth and the AI is quite dumb. Not a bad game but not great either, it's just an ok game.

it is an interesting play. good story and tons to do after.

I got this game on Nintendo Switch and it always used to hurt my head to play. So, I'm glad I gave it another shot on the PC, as I've been having an absolute blast. It's totally nerve-wracking and you have to have a strategy at each location, but those are two things that get me hooked on a game.
As someone who grew up well-behaved, but playing games like Yandere Simulator (ew), I've always found it very cathartic to play games where I can "be bad" and not actually cause real-world damage. Thank you Developers, and please have my recommendation :)

It's.. Alright, but a big issue I have is that the AI traffic is utterly stupid and wouldn't let me back into my car, because apparently they don't know how to navigate around a car, and constantly kept rear ending my parked vehicle until they called the cops. Still couldn't get into my car to move it, despite the fact my door wasn't blocked at all.

amazing story for a simulator

Controls are a bit janky and the storyline is pretty much just there to point you at the next skill to learn and/or tool to buy but it's still fun to play

The fact that I only have 10 hours in this game so far is crazy to me. It's so much fun, and feels like I've played it for at least 20. While I unfortunately do not have enough experience with breaking into buildings in real life, it is extremely satisfying to push down a lock's pins with the correct timing, sneak around people in their own home, and evade the police. 9/10

legitimately a terribly made game. abnormal amount of bugs for a game that copies the layout of every other simulator on the market. story is extremely straight-forward and allows for very little exploration outside of the story-line. the addition of contracts is great and adds to exploration aspects, but is monotonous as usual.

Recomendable. Ofrece varias horas de entretenimiento porque vas desbloqueando nuevas habilidades y teniendo acceso a mejores casa para robar con mas desafios en cuanto a sistemas de seguridad.
Para los que les gusta los juegos de sigilo es una buena opcion pero no esperen un juego deslumbrante tampoco porque en cuanto a historia es bastante basico e incluso puede volverse repetitivo.
Comprar solo en caso de que este en oferta.

finished the game 100% 33/33
the game is actually horrible never buy it trust me the trailers are a genuine lie its another stolen code a dollar a dozen crappy straight out of a china sweatshop simulator game

very simple, good mechanics, very fun

If you pirate this game, you're experiencing the game before actually playing it.

Thief Simulator te coloca no papel de um ladrão que precisa planejar seus furtos, invadir casas e vender itens furtados, tudo com muita estratégia e atenção aos detalhes. A jogabilidade é envolvente, oferecendo uma sensação de realismo e uma boa dose de adrenalina enquanto você evita ser pego.

They have a lot of nice mechanics, but sometimes their mechanics don't work.

amazing strategy planning, graphics, physics, all while being fun

Starts off slow but once you play it for a while it gets a lot funner.

I decided to buy Thief Simulator while it was on sale, but I personally did not enjoy it. For starters, the cricket ambience in the background was absolutely deafening for me and was giving me a headache, with no way to turn it down or off other than turning off the sound entirely. Secondly, pedestrians on the sidewalks would somehow see me while I am inside the house (even while not making noise and out of sight in a dark, windowless room) and immediately call the police, making most of my runs impossible. Thirdly, the game gets repetitive quickly: go in house, steal things, get out. Although I am sure others would love this game, the bugs and gameplay loop made Thief Simulator unenjoyable.

It has pretty good mechanics but I would go deeper into improving the bugs since it has quite a few, such as the fact that NPCs see you very easily even if you are hiding (I have lost many missions because of that) it is also annoying that the police catch you when they crash your car and you have to do it again

Overrated low effort junk. I don't know how this game has sold so well and maintains a "Very Positive" review score. It's still very buggy, NPCS floating around constantly. The overall loop is repetitive and there doesn't appear to be anything special to work towards.

-Lame AI
-Buggy animations
-Repetitive with no real reason aside from a linear "upgrade" path

Game has a lot of potential, but the dev needs to go back to school or something and actually learn their craft. I'm sure they could make some amazing things given the time.

Albanian simulator,i feel like Kanye West if he was black during the gameplay!!

Not bad for simulator, game still have problems like I can't change car sensitivity even if I have that option in settings, I am rn robbing house 4 and I'll give this game a thumbs up.

Someone made fun of my avatar and sent me a clown emoji, is this meant to humiliate me or something? it's not working, it's just kind of pissing me off. How do I get rid of it? Anyways, games fun, bugs are funny, its worth the 2 bucks on sale, for retail I dont recommend it.

i robbed a 80 year old grandma. broke 16 windows. tried to murder 11 innocent people. got taken by the cops atleast 10 times. then i went home and played this game :D

cool sim game, even cooler if you are romanian

For $2 on super sale, Thief Simulator is a... steal?? I've only played some and I am already having a ton of fun sneaking around, casing joints, hiding from cops, and of course, stealing junk and selling it to a creepy pawn shop guy and even creepier junkyard guy. I had no expectations for this game but I am sure to get dozens of hours of stealth stealing fun out of it. Growing up, I loved the Thief games, and this kinda scratches that itch after so many years. Try it out!

keeps crashing might be my pc but i play it for an hour it crashes and i lose all my progress but other than that i love it
