“[h2] TL;DR Synopsis: [/h2] A briefly enjoyable game with a lot of potential, yet it falls flat in enough ways to make it undeserving of a recommendation. [h1] Full Review[/h1] [h3] Pricing Level:[/h3] [] AAA ($60+)…”
“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…”

“Good graphics, fun to play, but the only downside for me is that the character gets stuck sometimes.”

“Game was pretty fun to play and was decently hard, but was really inconsistent with npc logic and has finnicky physics. Other than that its a great game.”

“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…”
“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…”
“Can't see character body and shadow, are we ghost?”

“In 2026 "Thief Simulator" feels like an unpolished looter sim with brief driving sequences. Quiet boring. Score: 4.5/10”

— a player, Steam review · 42 hrs played“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…”
— a player, Steam review · 20 hrs played“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,…”
