Sadly even though I will keep playing this game to finish every DLC and stuff after writing this (already completed main story), I can not recommend this game. The game is incredibly buggy and the NPCs basically have super vision and super hearing. They detect you through walls, they charge at you even when you're hidden etc. At the start the game was fun, but especially the industrial street is a joke. You can't …

This is honest to god one of the most underrated games ever, I used to watch Gray Still Plays play this as a child, and now that I’m old enough to have bought and played it on my own, I can say it is loads of fun and is legitimately the best “______ Simulator” game out there. It’s got everything you want, you can steal supercars, Fabergé eggs, children’s Christmas presents, TVs, Jewelry, etc, you can cut through …

Thief Simulator offers an addictive, methodical gameplay loop built around scouting, stealing, and selling. Each heist feels rewarding, with solid progression as you unlock new regions, tools, and techniques. The tutorial is impressively thorough, clearly explaining each mechanic so you’re never lost or overwhelmed. The gameplay loop is simple but satisfying—casing houses, learning resident routines, disabling …

Personal Rating: Very Positive (80%) It is a good game, just can get pretty grindy, and some of the things the NPS's do are...questionable to say the least. I guess there is a story, but you can just play how you want (if you want). NPC's themselves are invulnerable, so you have to take it sneaky. I hate Home 205 and 206 with all my passion still.

Playing Thief Simulator was a really fun and sneaky experience. I enjoyed planning break-ins, scouting houses, and timing everything perfectly so I could grab the best loot without getting caught. The thrill of sneaking around in the dark, hiding from neighbors, and escaping just in time always kept my heart racing. Slowly upgrading my tools and skills made each new job feel even better. It’s one of those games …

Difficulty spikes hard once u reach the 2nd street and u gotta restart all over if anything goes wrong. Late game is straight up dead boring. It fits way better for watching streams instead of playing solo. Also this old title has pretty low fov. I rarely get 3D motion sickness yet I still felt dizzy n upset playin it.

So if you guys want to purchase this game to play with someone then look else where since both Thief Simulator 1 and 2 are both Singleplayer. This game tags is so misleading.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My dad always told me that "stealing is the dumbest crime you can ever commit." I was a chronic pilferer of cosmetics from the local WalMart. Remember when you could just swap tags on two similarly-weighed items and get a tube of $12 lipstick for like 50 cents by switching it with the tag of a plastic bowl? Well now there's Orwellian spy cameras everywhere and they force minimum wage employees to play bouncer at the self-checks, so those days are over. But with Thief Simulator I can relive the…

Too much time in between areas, should be level based like Crime Scene Cleaner, has no reason to be this half assed open world. The car stripping part of this game is way too tedious and boring. I get it, you made that other game about stripping cars, but why put that games mechanics into here? It's not fun when half the parts you are stripping gets deleted because…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the game for Play or Pay 1st Cycle of 2026 and it was picked for me by Aquatorrent. I won this game through SteamGifts. Thief Simulator is one of those games that’s really fun at first and then slowly starts to show its cracks the more you play. Sneaking around houses, scouting targets, and figuring out the best way to break in is genuinely enjoyable. There are a lot of different approaches you can take, which keeps things interesting early on, and the maps are actually pretty well…

neutral · AI labelView post →Starts off slow, but there a lot of things to do after, even other than stealing, such as decorating/renovating your hideout, buying different cars, etc.. Very in depth game. A bit janky, bit thats the fun of it. Only complaint which I can think of is that optimization for PC isn't game, using a surprising amount of GPU and CPU when running on default settings (high).

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rating: 6/10 -Above Average TLDR: A cheap looking game with a decent gameplay loop. I don't remember how this appeared in my library. I think I saw it on YouTube and bought it when it was dirt cheap. The game looks cheaply made so I wasn't gonna spend a lot of money on it. I have to say though, the gameplay was good. Positive: Gameplay: The game has a small underlying story. I think you owe some cash to a mafia boss or something. You have to steal some stuff for him to pay off your debt.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As much as I want to give this game a good review, I've had WAY too many bugs. From people seeing through walls, to the Pawn Shop bugging and listing everything at $0 softlocking me from progress even after verifying files. Game has been abandoned by the devs and you will receive ZERO support in their bug forum which has over 1700 individual posts, majority of which have never been resolved or even assisted. The story is mid and the gameplay gets very repetitive, very quick. Oh and if you're…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I realize right now that if anyone has me on Steam, they've probably seen me turn on and turn off Thief Simulator 2 repeatedly, multiple times, for weeks. ...it's because I've been using Thief Simulator to fix a glitchy 2nd monitor. XD When the game boots, the resolution change fixes the screen.
neutral · AI labelView post →Well, I like this game. Puts you in the thief's mentality. But it lacks copper cables and pipes 😂😂
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of the better simulator games, featuring an addicting gameplay loop. The mechanics worked fine for me, and the houses in the different districts all felt unique. Thief Simulator kinda started my fandom for simulator games, and even though it is a bit janky and rough around the edges, it's a good game, and I count it among my favorite games of all time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun Game but the Ending was a little Underwhelming. Also gets Repetitive.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game about a very bad white thief. I don't know how he can breathe after what he does for a living. The concept of the game is interesting, but unfortunately, I can't customize my character and can only play as a white man. I hope the developers will be more tolerant in the future and add an option to customize the character and choose their skin color
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is unbelievably buggy and im astounded this game isnt negatively rated. Got caught by an invisible NPC seeing me in a house though the walls. Then the police ran through the wall to arrest me. Also alot of the tooltips are just wrong, they literally tell you the wrong button. All the bugs are very common issues and their are alot more than what i just said

Sure, there's the initial rush of adrenaline during your first heists in the neighborhood and earning your money [well, in the effort you put in to not getting caught], but after that, you start seeing how tedious and irritating this game is. There isn't much story apart from some small bits of dialogue between you as the Thief and Vinny, it's mostly just him telling you what to do. Then there's the game itself.

The game is pretty fun and has a lot of things to do. For that price, I can definitely recommend it. I had a good time playing it and I'm pretty sure I'll continue playing it. **For €1.75, it's an easy recommendation from me. 👍**

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is fun. It shows its age and it's not particularly pretty, but it's enjoyable. If you're the sort of person who likes stealth gameplay, infiltration, and creating/deploying strategies, this is a good game for you. However, there are some frustrating or annoying aspects that I hope are covered in the sequels I've yet to try. Dismantling vehicles is a buggy slog, for example, and feels off for a game about burgling. Some of the later homes require herculean levels of patience and a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know why they put Co-op on the tags when there's no Co-op mode on the game, that is so misleading.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Surprisingly Addictive! It's not a Triple-A game, but breaking into houses and stealing toasters is surprisingly fun. The physics can be janky at times, but the progression keeps you hooked. Perfect for when you want to be a master thief without going to jail. Pros: Very satisfying gameplay loop. Good progression system. Funny moments. Cons: Lots of bugs and clunky physics.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Early game is quite fun, in the janky indie way. Terrain collision and stealth in this game are both atrocious, but this works both ways. You can get stuck on some stupid geometry, your loot and car can fall through the floor, but you also can do some really stupid parkour. But then you enter the second area, and suddenly everyone is always at home, everyone always has a taser, and the moment you ♥♥♥♥ up even a little bit - you're dead on the spot. Later on things only get worse - larger…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game for boring late nights and streaming or making yt videos.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh to be a thief in the night- or day! The choice is yours! Anyways- I enjoyed this game: there are a couple of bugs, but I didn't mind them honestly, the most buggy one I had was items or NPCs getting stuck in place, which a quick rebooting of the game fixed. Most of the mechanics I enjoyed, though there are a couple I actually really hate: the original lockpicking sucked, hated that- was really glad when I could lvl up and get the better stuff. I'd still recommend it- it's a lot of fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →buggy mess. Pathfinding for npcs walking outside is horrible. Collision detecion on car is just pain. Police and npcs can see through objects, they know exactly where you are, it doesnt make sense. Game has a good idea but npcs and police need better AI and its needs better gameplay behind the "run or hide" part.
