    Passably playable, yet extremely short stealth-action game that captures neither the moody atmosphere nor the well-tuned mechanics of the games it is paying homage to.

    From the same studio that released the unfinished and chastised Underworld Ascendant comes another game prematurely released with the idea of fixing it later. Thick as Thieves is a game made by pioneers of immersive stealth sims, developers who should know better than to release such a clearly incomplete product like this. It’s poorly executed, staggeringly average, and deeply underwhelming, a game really only for those so desperate for stealth-focused ventures they can overlook a bland story, tedious gameplay, and clunky controls atop a content-sparse introductory chapter.

    Thick as Thieves is a simple package: two maps, two characters and a handful of thief tools. While it is certainly rudimentary, there is still some unmistakable fun to be had for a few hours as you sneak around and loot like a goblin. I’m interested to see if co-op manages to shake up the gameplay or if it ends up being more of a gimmick, but I think either way it could still make for a decent game to play over a weekend with a friend.
