★★★★☆ – Classic Thief Fun in an 80s Skin Playtime: 17 hours What I liked: If you’ve played Thief Simulator, you’ll feel right at home here. The gameplay is pretty much the same — sneaking into houses, picking locks, stealing everything that’s not bolted down, and slowly upgrading your tools and skills. The 80s theme gives it a cool nostalgic touch with old-school cars, music, and visuals that fit perfectly. I had a good time grinding achievements; it’s surprisingly relaxing and addictive once you get into the rhythm. It’s also a lot of fun for stealth players — planning routes, learning guard patterns, and pulling off clean getaways always feels satisfying. For the price, it’s solid value and delivers that classic thief experience. What I didn’t like: Optimization really holds it back. Even at low settings, it struggles to maintain smooth 60 FPS on low-end systems. It’s playable, but not as smooth as you’d expect for how simple it looks. Verdict: American Theft 80s doesn’t change much from Thief Simulator, but it nails the vibe and gameplay that made the original fun. If you enjoy stealth, sneaky sandbox gameplay, and a retro setting, this one’s definitely worth checking out — just be ready to deal with some performance hiccups.

I actually like American Theft 80s far better than Thief Simulator because American Theft 80s: -Is open world (there's loading stutters on transition but it's still a lot nicer than the menu mechanics of Thief Simulator) -Progression is a lot nicer because everything is baked in and balanced into one experience rather than spread out among DLCs. -Is a lot more natural and smoother in terms of missions, jobs, and rewards. -Has a better story. -Better vehicle driving modeling (cars do weird stuff in Thief Simulator at speed). -Vehicle bin holds pretty much an unlimited amount of loot (Thief Simulator is 15 for the car, 30 for the van). -When vehicles are close to a store, you can automatically sell from them instead of manually moving it to your inventory then to the store. -Pedestrians actually respond to your thieving activity rather than only getting alerted when their path is blocked. Basically the game is an open world thief simulator with unlocking tools giving it a Metroidvania progression. It's a great game for people that like to sneak around and solve movement patterns for successful thieving.

This game is great to kill time. You have to think, but not too hard about how you can steal items. The game is relatively easy to figure out and decently fun. I just realized I've been playing for 6 hours lol. I like it a lot.

Yoink Intensifies Key features [*]Multiple breaking in tools, [*]Broken mechanics, [*]Stealing is fun! Overwhelming fun Joyful moments => throwing heavy TVs, speakers, computers over fences because you can't jump with them. Mindlessly grabbing all (mostly cheap) items in sight. Eventually figuring out NPCs routine and clearing out their building. Angry moments => being spotted from far-afar (!), being heard from a great distance. Guards can see you with the back of their heads. -_- https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3451356673 Adventurous American Theft 80s is a really nice game. Its story is as simple as possible - you're a thief and must steal things. As you move from one neighbourhood to another, your equipment gets better i.e. instead of crude hammer and simple lockpicks you'll get access to a crowbar, window cutter, electronic devices and even safe cracking gear. And, every lock is a different mini-game . Awesome! The items increase in prices e.g. forget about cheap headphones, shoes, yoink that expensive computer mouse! Shove silver plates and sculptures into your backpack and make thousands of $$$. Be bold and sneak in during a day time! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3449569524 Not sure if it's the game engine fault or what, but there are multiple bugs. NPCs can get stuck in a position. The same guard may hear you crawling, even though you're completely quiet, but then may ignore you running right behind. Disguises never worked for me at all, had to go full stealth in the Mayor Mansion mission, for instance. Moreover, sleeping NPCs aren't that sleeping. They can suddenly noclip through beds, walls, even doors and then they spot you... hello alarm! =/ https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3449569286 The game may feel a bit repetitive, especially if you accept all requests and decide to clear out EVERYTHING. You will have to go in many times due to a small backpack capacity. And then when you return you will find that previously asleep owners now marching across kitchen with that sweet 'n pricey microwave... but changing challenge is why I played it in the first place - to break in and steal goodies. I enjoyed it! p.s. it often goes on sale, so totally worth its discount price.
