“🕵️ Thief Simulator 2 🏠 • Overall: 8/10 Thief Simulator 2 takes the core idea of the first game and improves it in almost every direction. The goal is still simple: scout houses, learn routines, break in quietly, and…”
“Very nice sequel to the first Thief simulator. Nice attention to detail with a long enough story that still feels engaging. Can't wait for the DLC. Will have to say there was a failed opportunity not implementing a jump…”
“Great way to kill some time. Takes a few goes to master some skills, get used to where things are, evading police and detection. Not too easy, not too difficult.”

“Unfortunately, I don't recommend buying Thief Simulator 2. There's a lot of reuse of assets, map design, and mission structure from the first Thief game, and the new features feels rushed and unbalanced, especially the…”
“I can't recommend this game, it's just Thief sim 1 but worse, the story sucks, the gameplay is half baked, and it's just a downgrade overall. Skip this one unless it's on DEEP sale.”
“This game is garbage. I tried the first one when it came out, it was also garbage. This game is exactly the same, it's like you barely made any progress in 5+ years. It's truly disappointing. Even though it's advertised…”

“Ну где-то на 3,5 баллов из 5. Сначала попробовал запуститься в сюжетном режиме и прям до тошноты плохо. Но вот в свободном режиме - нашел интерес и в целом игралось поживее. Наверное, самое плохое в этой игре: • Часовые…”
“Really enjoyed this, Except for maybe the voice acting on the final mission (Bank Heist), that part I would have to agree with others in that it felt rushed out the door. The final heist was way easier than it should…”

“I reccomend this game. It is a fun game about robbing houses and slowly getting to bigger and better places to steal, such as mansions and banks. There are a couple bugs around but none of them will break your game/make it unplayble. Overall i rate it a 8/10”
