Sep 3, 2024Breaking the law isn’t my go-to route. However, Thief Simulator 2 lets you experience that naughty and seedy path. The action is captivating and I loved the sense of tension. Furthermore, the freedom to explore each small area or plan an elaborate heist was impressive. Yes, there are shortcomings, but this rarely matters.

Oct 15, 2024There’s a compulsive, checklist quality to the action in Thief Simulator 2. Once I developed a successful sequence, I found pleasure in its repetition – I dotted every “I” as I deftly picked locks on my way in, and then crossed every “T” as I shut and relocked those same doors on the way out. However, these moments were just base mechanics and never developed beyond that – planning is as simple as planting a camera, and a successful robbery is just a matter choosing the right the time of day. I have to imagine that being a real thief is more complicated than this, and I wished Thief Simulator 2 asked more from me.
