- Xbox Tavern5.0Does Thief Simulator succeed in bringing out my younger self and bring back that same joy and excitement that I felt five years ago? No, no it does not. That doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy myself though. What it lacks graphics-wise and in replay value it makes up with its game mechanics. Who doesn’t want to rob houses and pretend to be a thief in the night?
- Game Skinny6.0Thief Simulator could have been fantastically fun if there were more to do and if it were more challenging. As it exists now, it's just kind of fun, for a while. I hesitate to recommend a full-price purchase at $19.99, but if it goes on sale for 50% off or more, stealth fans may want to give it a whirl.
- TheXboxHub6.0There is a gem in Thief Simulator somewhere, it’s just one that you need to dig really deep to reach. I hope the forthcoming sequel builds upon this foundation, and thankfully early signs do indicate that it does, so I will definitely keep my eyes peeled. But for the original game, its not quite stolen my heart.
- NintendoLife7.0If you’re tired of Payday 2’s often loud and at-large robbery antics – and you’d like to take a detour into the more quiet vocation of thievery – Thief Simulator has the new career for you. While it’s not the prettiest of games and it soon starts repeating itself, the sense of freedom you’re given to rob neighbourhoods full of unsuspecting victims is still an intriguing one. He might not be Garrett, but The Thief has plenty of skills to steal a place on Nintendo Switch.
- Game Reactor6.0Thief Simulator may not have snagged away our attention as much as we initially hoped, but it's still an entertaining enough distraction filled with plenty of tension and player choice. We enjoyed the rush of sneaking around knowing that we had mere minutes to swipe the goods and escape undetected, and its vast toolbox of unlockable gadgets gave us plenty to play with.
- jeuxvideo.com6.5Thief Simulator, grâce à son concept atypique, amoral et amusant, parvient à occuper quelques heures avant que les routines d’un gameplay finalement assez pauvre, la progression assez dirigiste et l’agacement face aux IA, ne finissent par fatiguer le joueur. Il reste un bon titre pop corn, à petit prix, idéal pour une soirée entre amis ou pour le streaming.
Gamer reviews
A few hours in and I love the game, at times it provides a good challenge and you can go off and do your own thing if you want. But sometimes the mechanics and movement can't be weird, if we also had the ability to change the controls to our preference it would defenitly get a higher rating!
For the price thief sim is a enjoyable game and definitely a first for me. Unfortunately I couldn’t give it a higher rating as I feel it is somewhat lacking a few things. Firstly I think the items your stealing at the beginning are somewhat petty. Saucepans and breaking toilets seems like high risk, for very little rewards. Personally I think they should of done it as items such as designer shoes or hats, which you can’t take in the game. Would of made it feel more realistic. Secondly, I was disappointed by the police chase mechanics. Feel like it should be set so you can’t quick jump back to hideout, until you have lost the police, making it feel more open world, instead of a small area. Finally again, it is advertised as an open world, but I don’t feel like that is the case. I feel rather directed. Having to physically drive back to the hideout or the pawn shop, would add to it. The world doesn’t necessary be huge. But it would definitely feel more open world, and give u a chance to feel the driving mechanics of the game. Overall it’s a half decent game, worth checking out if you are looking for a sim game to play. But don’t expect a great deal from it. Definitely a game that fits the price in the store though.
