Late Review“Fluctuates between the periodic thrill of breaking the law and the tedium of pretty well everything else”

Late Review“Thief Simulator 2 is one of those titles you launch when you want to kill some time, or if you want to prove to your friends that you really could get away with stealing from hard-working citizens like the delinquent you think you are.”

Late Review“Thief Simulator 2 is a funny game that excels in terms of atmosphere and tension. The game also offers quite a few gameplay features and hours of gameplay, as you may not have unlocked everything with about 15 hours of playing. The loading times are short, the adaptive trigger effects when lock picking are funny and some other details have been nicely worked out, such as the red-blue lighting of the touchpad when the police are chasing you. Thief Simulator 2 is an entertaining game for anyone who would like to step into the life of a burglar.”

Late Review“On the one hand, the game mechanics are very shallow, the visuals are ugly and have a cheesy feel. On the other hand, it offers incredibly well-dosed content, fun stealth, refined AI, unique mechanics and many other things for a low price.”

Late Review“Thief Simulator 2 is not a bad game, per se. Far from it in fact, with its engaging central premise and core ideas giving a satisfying stealth experience that we don’t see often. However, everything feels surface level and just a little too janky. It reuses way too much of the original and doesn’t making any significant improvements where it was really needed. But there is still some fun to be had with it, if you’re looking for a basic stealth experience.”
