    If 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.

    Whatever fun there is to be found in Thief Simulator is buried beneath layers of nonsense and bad design. It’s not hard to imagine this being a fun game in the right hands, like a less bloody version of Hitman — but it’s painfully obvious that this game wasn’t made in the right hands.

It had interested me back when Vinny from Vinesauce played it 2 years ago, but I never really got around to getting it until I got this version on Switch 2 weeks ago. I got it while it was on sale for $1.99, but would have gladly paid the full price. The gameplay loop is enjoyable, the skill tree (although simple) encourages you to pull off bigger heists, the little ways you can maneuver around tenants and "Skyrim" your way over some fences and other minor things enhances it to me. I haven't had any crashing or major bugs except for an instance where a police officer warped towards me, but they fixed that in the last patch they rolled out and haven't had it happen yet. The minigames when you're cracking codes or hacking is really interesting too (although again, quite simple). It also has a big of Car Mechanic/My Summer Car type of stuff except your actually TAKING off the parts instead of putting them all. All in all a fun game if you're into "Simulator" games. Expand

Ce qu’il propose est plutôt inédit et bourré de bonnes petites idées dans le concept de l’infiltration. Le principal problème c’est que le titre devient très vite redondant et, à part pour les adeptes du 100%, on ne sera pas forcément tenter d’y revenir. Le titre a quand même assez de qualités pour servir de base à un deuxième opus qui transformerait l’essai. C’est quand même très étonnant de voir Thief Simulator sur Switch, et au vu de la qualité du portage (bon ok, techniquement ce n’était pas trop dur…), son achat, de préférence en solde, pourrait être une bonne occasion de bousculer son backlog.

    Thief Simulator is a good game game play wise, although some mechanics are annoying its still fun, but when you look deeper you see theThief Simulator is a good game game play wise, although some mechanics are annoying its still fun, but when you look deeper you see the cracks. The game randomly crashes for me in loading screens and the graphic is terrible for a switch game and its not optimized a lot. If you don't hate random crashes or weird AI and bugs i would recommend that you buy it in a sale like i did, but for the full price you would be better of with another game. And if you have a PC powerful enough for the game buy it for PC. Expand

I thought it was a bad port but it looks like the PC reviews aren't that much better. Expand
