This is one of the better simulator games, featuring an addicting gameplay loop. The mechanics worked fine for me, and the houses in the different districts all felt unique. Thief Simulator kinda started my fandom for simulator games, and even though it is a bit janky and rough around the edges, it's a good game, and I count it among my favorite games of all time.

Rating: 6/10 -Above Average TLDR: A cheap looking game with a decent gameplay loop. I don't remember how this appeared in my library. I think I saw it on YouTube and bought it when it was dirt cheap. The game looks cheaply made so I wasn't gonna spend a lot of money on it. I have to say though, the gameplay was good. Positive: Gameplay: The game has a small underlying story. I think you owe some cash to a mafia boss or something. You have to steal some stuff for him to pay off your debt. You get sent to houses to steal something. The loot gets progressively more valuable and the houses get more guarded. You can buy new tools with the money you earn. You are able to buy different types of lock picks and hacking devices. You need a certain hacking device to unlock stolen phones to be able to sell them. I like the progression. You start out by stealing toasters and by the end, you steal servers and artifacts. You can even steal cars and dismantle them at your hideout. Houses: I like how every house is like its own puzzle. Before entering a home, you have to find out when the tenants are gone and for how long. You need to stalk them and the game saves and displays the times when they are gone. Another thing you have to find are entrances. Some houses leave a window open, some are fully closed down. You can cut open the windows if the house doesn't have alarms attached to the windows. When you've gathered enough information, you will hit the house in a good time frame. You have to be quick before the tenants return home and notice the burglary. Clearing a house and returning back to the hideout is a great feeling. Negative: Bad Optimization: The problem is not the performance. The game runs fine. The optimization measures are bad. The game frequently unloads a lot of stuff in front of your eyes. When you enter a home, you can see objects popping in or out right in front of you. When driving around, you can see trees and houses pop in from nowhere. I have set the game to Max settings mind you. The rendering distance is still low. A lot of stuff just does not get rendered in time. It pops up in the last second. Things that are behind me should be unloaded, not in front of me. I've never seen a game that has pop in and out this badly. It really breaks the immersion. Sessional Achievements: The game has achievements that can only be unlocked during certain times of the year. I don’t know if changing the PC time will let you do them but it doesn’t matter. I don’t like this. Conclusion: The cheap look of this game may be deterring but I assure you, it feels surprisingly great to play. The gameplay loop is addicting and the progression is fun. The difficulty rises naturally. I recommend playing it but keep in mind that is not extremely well done. Get it on sale.
