"American Theft 80s" is a love letter to the '80s – neon colors, VHS vibes, and plenty of criminal energy included. Just like the '80s were in the States. You take on the role of a small-time low life junkie, or more precisely, a burglar, who works his way up step by step by spying on houses, bypassing alarm systems, and taking anything that isn't nailed down. Always with style, of course… or at least with plenty of guts. There are two game modes to choose from: Story Mode and Sandbox Mode. In Story Mode, you have to complete the individual tasks of the main mission to advance to the next district, similar to GTA. In Sandbox Mode, on the other hand, you can explore every single district right from the start. What I like about the game: - You can break into every single apartment or building. - There's a wide selection of items to loot. - There are different burglary tools. - Each of the three city districts presents its own unique challenges when attempting a burglary. - The missions in Story Mode are entertaining and engaging. - Different vehicle types can be unlocked after completing the corresponding tasks. What I didn't like: The game has a few bugs. For example, you can fall through the floor and reappear somewhere else in the city. Or, if you get out of your car and have parked too close to a fence or wall, your character will hover in mid-air, suspended between the car door and the wall. The atmosphere is particularly strong: the radios, music, technology, and visuals practically scream "80s!" It's simply fun to scout out a house, observe routines, and then strike at the perfect moment—or flee in a panic because you've overlooked a camera again. Planning is rewarded, improvisation sometimes is too, and failure is part of the charm. The gameplay is pleasantly slow-paced but never boring. Every burglary feels different. "American Theft 80s" is a charming, relaxed, and simultaneously exciting stealth game with plenty of style and humor. Anyone who enjoys nostalgic vibes, clever planning, and minor criminal escapades will be thoroughly entertained. A nice indie title.

★★★★☆ – 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.
