Thief Simulator VR Free Download GAMESPACK.NET As illegal as it is in real-life, there’s something oddly satisfying about larceny in the digital world. From countless questlines for the Thieves Guild in The Elder Scrolls to the procedural heists of The Swindle, few things get your blood pumping in equal parts fear and elation quite like scoping a joint, filling your swag bag and legging it before the fuzz turn up. So when a game as cryptically titled as Thief Simulator sneaks its way onto Switch, it’s already in a good position to steal our attention (and our wallets) from the get go. A few ‘missions’ in, and it soon becomes clear that Thief Simulator does exactly what it says on the tin. There’s no deep storyline full of double-crosses and elaborate heists, so don’t expect the kind of narrative tour de force you get with the Uncharted games. There aren’t huge open-worlds to a steal en masse in the vein of the Grand Theft Auto series, either. What you do get is a handful of neighbourhoods full of unsuspecting citizens and their precious valuables. You’re playing a character literally called The Thief, so you shouldn’t be expecting anything other than straight five-finger discounts. In practice, Thief Simulator works like a cross between the Thief games (the good ones on PC, not that godawful reboot from 2014) and Payday 2. A sandbox sim is spent entirely in first-person, you’re slowly introduced to the easy-to-learn mechanics at play and how best to use them.

You’ll start by using a crowbar to crudely smash a window and steal some kettles and saucepans. But later you’ll learn to pick a simple lock so you can gain access to a property without making so much noise. Not so long after you’re learning how to scope out a house, tagging the occupants to learn their routines and how to get away with more cumbersome items. Thief Simulator has a lot of little systems running alongside one another, but it does a brilliant job of slowly introducing them to you at a pace that shows you just how many options you truly have. Pulling off simple jobs earns you XP, which in turn enables you to purchase better skills. It’s here you’ll learn how to pick tougher locks or identify items of interest faster. When you’re out on a job and you reach a climbable fence you can’t clamber over – because your agility isn’t high enough – you’ll know where to focus your skills next time you reach a new level. Stealing items and selling them at the local pawn shop will gain you cash, while more specific items can be sold off on a black market marketplace on the PC back at your garage HQ. Occupants you’ve tagged will appear with white silhouettes, so you can track their movements when you’re nearby, which makes for some tense moments as you’re slowly opening drawers and cupboards in search of jewellery or cash. That same sense of intense fear comes into play when you accidentally trip an alarm system by smashing a window on a more expensive property.

FLASHLIGHT.

Or walk out into a street and get spotted carrying a stolen TV. Now you’re driving away to outrun the cops or hiding in a nearby dumpster while the rozzers try and find you. This is where Thief Simulator starts to trip itself up. Because when you’re slowly building up the details of a target location – building up a set of notes on routines and potential valuable locations before taking the risk to break in during the day or in the dead of night when they’re asleep – the game comes together like an illegal dream. But when you have to jump into a car and actually ‘get away’, you realise you might as well be driving a wet cardboard box. Even the cars in the Far Cry games drive better, and they have terrible driving models. It basically renders escaping utterly pointless, so you’ll always have to hide when things go awry. There’s plenty of ways to enhance your jobs, including missions given to you by a cringe-worthy contact over the phone (complete with a knock-off New York accent) and intel you can buy on a certain location. These tips are expensive, but knowing a particular property has a high-tech security system or that there’s a key to the front door hidden outside can completely change the outcome of a thieving run. You can buy new gear as you level up and earn more cash – including mini cameras that can fit into mailboxes for some handy surveillance or cutters than remove planes of glass in a window – and some of those later skills effectively turn you into a silent god of theft.

Where Thief Simulator on PC and Console was a decent, if unspectacular-looking game, the Quest version doesn’t even deserve to be damned with that same faint praise. Textures are flat, lighting is basic, the draw distance is the most criminal thing about the whole experience, and the audio is so forgettable that I had to go back and play the game again just so that I could refer to it in this section of the review. In some circumstances, it serves the game well enough. During lock-picking, for example, it adds noticeably to the task’s tactility, and despite Vinnie’s voice actor being lumbered with an incredibly cliche character, he does his best to bring it to life. The significant issues with Thief Simulator on the Quest can be summed up with just one word: Jank. Don’t get me wrong, janky games aren’t always bad, and jank can even add an endearing quality to them. Countless mid-tier games overcome an abundance of roughness around the edges with interesting, original, or just plain fun gameplay – it could even be argued that the PC version of Thief Simulator falls into that category. Unfortunately, in its translation to VR, the game has accumulated so much additional jank that it becomes a huge barrier to enjoying the core mechanics. Simulators have come a long way over the years. What was once an arguable training tool has become an incredibly strong niche, with several fantastic offerings. The latest Microsoft Flight Simulator, for instance, was released on PC last year and having played it.

USEFUL ITEMS.

I can confirm it’s as good as you have heard. Xbox gamers will get to enjoy that later this year, but in the meantime, the folks at Noble Muffins, Console Labs and publisher Playway have brought along Thief Simulator to hopefully steal our hearts. Now, this name may sound familiar to our long-time readers, or those who have chosen to peruse the Xbox Store. This game actually launched back in February of last year on Xbox, and earlier on PC. However, we received a code for this game now, likely in anticipation of the forthcoming Thief Simulator 2. Well, like with most cases, there is never a right or wrong time to jump into a good game. The question is: is Thief Simulator good? Well, this is where the answer becomes a bit murky. I’d like to start with the positives, as I genuinely believe there are some here. The stealth is mostly satisfying, and while it’s no Hitman or Dishonored, it does the job well. Additionally, the AI for tenants is top-notch with each one following a pre-determined pattern, but diverging from it as necessary. The police AI, while a bit aloof on Normal difficulty, does its job well and ironically fares far better than the police AI in the significantly higher budgeted Cyberpunk 2077. Another thing this game does better than Cyberpunk, funnily enough, is the driving controls. Driving in the first person can be difficult to pull off at the best of times, and to Thief Simulator’s credit, it handles the mechanics very well. I Expect You To Die

The rest of the control scheme is somewhat of a mixed bag, with our titular thief’s jump in particular very lacking, which can make the game’s few platforming segments all the more frustrating. Finally, when it comes to the act of stealing itself, Thief Simulator does a lot right. Picking locks is ripped straight out of Skyrim and Oblivion (easy locks following Skyrim’s system, harder ones Oblivion’s) and the latter minigame is actually an improvement over its inspiration. Stealing items is also a load of fun, with careful consideration needed for inventory and carrying larger items. You can also steal cars and rip them apart to sell at a junkyard in a surprisingly robust disassembly simulation. A simulator within a simulator if you will. Hacking is also a lot of fun, and the game even features a black market that reminds me of the one in Obsidian’s underrated gem Alpha Protocol. However, all of this fun comes at the cost of a truckload’s worth of jank and bugs. Firstly, the framerate is capped at 30fps which can feel rather sluggish, but is the least of the game’s issues. Lighting bugs are plentiful, and texture often clips through each other. The game itself is also downright unpleasant to look at at points, with some extremely low-res textures. A Series X showcase this is definitely not. I would also be remiss not the mention the pop-in. Thief Simulator has, quite possibly, the worst pop-in I have seen in a modern release.

PREPARE LOTT.

Civilians, buildings, and vehicles all fade in like it’s a PS1 game. Not only is this incredibly distracting, it also compounds the game’s presentation problems. Then there is the reality that the gameplay loop, while fun, has its limits. After a while, having to rob the same houses just to grind EXP to progress the story becomes tiresome. The game only has two maps, and most of the big-ticket items stolen do not replenish, so you find yourself going back to steal basic items like vases and statues in its place. It can get tiresome after a while, and after 7 and a half hours with the game, I was ready to be done. Little did I know, however, that the game was coming to a close. Yes, as it turns out, this is a port of the original version of the game, and the third act content added in a patch on PC is missing in action here. Given that the game actually costs slightly more on Xbox, I would not recommend this version on that ground alone, but if it’s your only option, I suppose it will suffice. All of this being said, when Thief Simulator clicks, it clicks like a successful combination of a safe. There were some times when I really did have fun with this game, but a lack of content, poor presentation and a plethora of technical issues hold the game back from reaching its true potential. There is a gem in Thief Simulator somewhere, it’s just one that you need to dig really deep to reach.

I hope the forthcoming sequel builds upon this foundation, and thankfully early signs do indicate that it does, so I will definitely keep my eyes peeled.
