Thief Simulator

I've given this game some love and to be quite honest I do like the gameplay but there are just never enough places to visit and steal from imo. Once you run out of expensive stuff in the houses you wind up repeat looting a lot of the warehouses and that gets boring after a while. Plus more cars to steal would be nice. It's definitely not a bad game but it lacks a whole lot of variety even after adding some new maps.

I like the game, but still the achievement are still bugged need to be fixed

Welcome!

Maxed out the base game on Hard


Some minor things:

The night vision brightness effect is just buggy. The tuning garage lighting also, it switches incorrectly when moving arond
There are items in drawers that don't move with it when opened, so it's hard to get them
There's barely any bricks in the game at all
Later one, things that should be unlockable hints you can scout just aren't
You can't close windows from the inside
There's a wardrobe that opens to a brick wall
Nothing happens you you are caught picking a door lock and the owner walks through it if you are standing outside the house zone
Owners don't stop to unlock anything
There are two sets that look like wine glasses in Greenview 101, I picked the wrong ones when route planning and got caught because of it
Spawning in to a street should point the camera forward
Add a note on the pawn shop interface that says space bar sells things you have highlighted
Exiting the map with an object in your hands causes it to get lost
I had to resteal a stolen car I used to exit the final mission
Throwing some paintings over walls causes them to despawn or fall out of the world
Poor lighting in the hideout garage so it's too dark when taking a car apart
No music in the hideout when dismantling a car
The Vertical Tamper sits incorrectly in the vehicle (outside)
404 has a floating USB flash you can't pick up in the open outside
My Hideout remembers the fact I left the door open, but not the lights on (leave them on)

Fun game to play as a thief. Stealing stuff was very enjoyable! Only issue I had was that the big tv would fall through the floor sometimes when trying to steal it.

Addicting! It was nerve wracking at first when going into the house, of course I gotta be more quiet so that the tenants won't hear me and when they're out I have to be fast in case they come back soon. Additionally, it caused me feel tense when the tip/advice mentioned "someone will notice if I turn on my flashlight" and then because of that, I'm breaking in complete darkness though it still can see some of it but it just makes my eyes uncomfy. Moreover, I was crouching the whole time even there was no one at home so it makes stealing even slower lol I thought the neighbors or the passer-by can hear me from the inside as per the tips but I was wrong. Stupid information tips! Anyway, I finally understood the gameplay and it was kind of fun tbh. Breaking in and stealing valuable stuff is such an easy task (well in some houses). So, defo recommend playing this to anyone. It will be boring at first but it will be entertaining eventually. I even lasted more than 2 hours playing this game until my head hurts.

A simple game to be certain, but fun and enjoyable throughout. It's premise is straight-forwards and, while there are annoyances and issues, I can't deny for a second that I enjoyed playing it through and through. Would recommend for certain!

Pretty unrealistic, but not that i would know or anything...

I played this game a lot, if you like sneaky, collectible games, then i can recommend it, i liked it. 10/7,5

Game is lots of fun

this game is good but, i get some bug when i log to the game i can press the play button is there anything can do with this thing??

This company sued Schedule I because they made a better game lol. also this game is extremely repetitive.

Very fun! Slow in the beginning but extremely fun mid-game!

This game is pretty fun!
Stealing and destroying stuff is actually really interesting at least for a while.
After some time, though, the stealing part gets a bit repetitive, and the house-building system kinda sucks.
There just isn’t enough furniture to make it feel satisfying.
I’d recommend this game if you just love breaking, entering, stealing, and wrecking things. 😄
Besides that, the story is actually cool, and the twist was a nice surprise.
Stalking people to figure out when they’re home?
fun.
I just wish the items in older houses would respawn that would’ve kept the game fresh lo

The biggest problem for me was confidence.
When i got to the first house with a person there 24/7 I got super scared and quit the game(twice).
But once I got past that and got some more confidence the game became a breeze.

gameplay 8.5/10 replayability 7/10 graphics 9/10 11gb overall 8.5/10

Fun game. Enjoyed the time I played it, but the gameplay loop definitely does get a tad repetitive after a while. Might go back at a later date to get the rest of the achievements. :)

The value of purchasing this game depends on the price it retails for. If the game is on sale and is available for around 1-2$, then the possible 20-30 hours of gameplay is absolutely worth it. For 10$? Hell no. The game has a lot of bugs which will probably never be addressed, along with having a repetitive gameplay loop after hitting the 10 hour mark.

i'm gonna be deadly honest here
this game's fun when you just like stealth in general, it's mechanics are pretty simple yet slightly tedious (which i am okay with)
really, what this game needs is polishing. you can't jump fences no matter how short they are (unless they're like 2'3) which is strange, as jumping a fence is one of the most common ways for a thief to break in
and the hacking, i don't even know why you should learn electronics other than for the main story because the hacking doesn't even work.
trying to hack ANY security panels just doesn't work. it lets you try to hack them, and if you succeed, nothing happens. the security panel is still up and functioning (noble muffins please fix)
also, if any of the houses have a pool, DO NOT JUMP INSIDE. the extremely pitiful jumppower that the thief has will guarantee you succumbing to a tazer

but overall, i still enjoyed it, it's a good game and the bugs don't really bother me all that much. however, it would be WAY better if they got a fix

Bought this for 2 bucks cause I remember watching gameplay of it as a kid, does not disappoint, very fun even if you aren't following the story (but you should pay attention, it's not bad)

Mediocre. The systems are much simpler than they feel like they should be, and while it's supposed to be a game about figuring out how to loot buildings, the individual tasks are much more linear than I expected, and don't reward exploration or improvisation much if at all.

not terrible - worth the buy if you're into stealth-like games but don't expect incredible mechanics or graphics. a solid game.
the sequel, thief simulator 2? absolute shit, don't buy

Game does exactly what it says and it does it well. You go in, steal stuff, and leave. The story is mid but has a funny ending. The stealth mechanics and different tools all feel quite nice as well. Overall very chill game, they do need to fix some achievements though

It is a great game for those who enjoy the game aspect of robbery. Ever been stuck up in a game? Do it back to RANDOM people! Very fun and would recommend

Literally like one of the first pc games I played and now I also have even more hours on my switch, great game 10/10

fun game, but it feels like there's a bitcoin mining operation going on in the background. none of my other games run this loud, i play beamNG.drive and minecraft

This game is really fun! The title is exactly the gameplay promised- you get to steal things, watch tenants, and steal more things! It's called thief simulator, and you get to simulate being a thief. What more could you want?

I like this game just because its fun but i did buy it i dont remember the price but it's a good fun game to play just the car is a little idk how to describe it but its ok pretty good game tho

I uh, can see some of the things they learned about from this for the next installment. Its playable but there are moments where you soft-lock yourself. This game does not do save files, just Checkpoints.

What started an incredible game became a total disaster towards the end.

At first you follow house residents and plan ahead when is your "go-time". Its challenging and fun. Only minus for too small car fitting only one painting and one bigger item (took me about 10 hours to realize the boxes next to car means what you can fit there). I wish there was one car between van and starting car because van on other hand fits so much it should be end game vehicle. Like maybe if there was one car with space for 3 paintings and 2 other items. But aside of the car beginning is very fun and it goes on for first two zones. In 2nd zone bag space starts to be a real issue because you can't park car near entrance so having just 35 space is a struggle. But its something you can live with.

Third zone is when disaster begins. I don't know was there a hurry or did devs just get lazy but it becomes just copy-paste. All the buildings are the same and all the buildings have these guards as "residents" like the whole building doesn't even have workers. Just abandoned factories with three guards patrolling. Money balance gets broken badly. In zone one and two its hard to earn money for van but in zone three you get so much money you hit hundreds of thousands for clearing couple places. Guards are even worse than Skyrim's "It must have been the wind". If they notice you they don't even get suspicious and come check. They might stand there and look straight at you and noticing you then turn and go away before the triangle got to red. They are just complete morons. In most of 3rd zone gigs I could just run in and even if they noticed me it took police too much time to find me in huge buildings so I could just wait there until they were gone and just like that in 20 seconds nobody remembers anything that I am inside.

Then the NG+. Whats the point of it? Just make it so after you clear the game you get a chance to swap your profile to NG+ instead of making start all over again. If I knew there is NG+ I wouldn't have spent 20+ hours 100% clearing every single house. I don't know if I want to start NG+ just because I will have to collect everything all over again.

Overall I am not sure if this is thumbs up or thumbs down. For now I am going to make thumbs down because I am pissed that I have to start game all over again in NG+ to 100% it and redo EVERYTHING again even if I don't want to. I might change it to thumbs up later but we will see. This is 50/50 because first two zones are great but 3rd is just disaster. I don't know if I even want to start playing the DLC.

decent graphics for the price especial how the discounts are so big like 90% is insane. i'm happy with the content especial how . funny vinny is anyway i bought it for 3 dollaz very worth! just wait for it to go on discount tho they're very big discounts

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.
