![]() Having to stealthily make your way through the house and to avoid being detected by the homeowners or a pedestrian on the street is a challenge within itself and also running from the police when you get detected, which happens more often than you think. There is some challenge to the game, however. Before you go to a job you go to your computer, find the house you’re going to rob, buy little tips and hints on the said house, go to the house and rob it, sell all the items to the pawnshop, rinse and repeat all over again. There’s a certain rhythm or flow with the game as well and works like this. In this skill tree, you can upgrade your lockpicking skill which allows you to lockpick higher-level locks, noise detection level which reduces the amount of noise that you can make, your sneaking speed, etc. You have a skill tree in which you can upgrade after you gain enough XP after doing each job. After you finish the tutorial mission, you’re introduced to even more mechanics of the game which enhances your thieving experience. You learn how to sneak, use your inventory and flashlight, and how to equip your crowbar, your main and only “weapon” through the entirety of the game. Starting out the game you’re put in front of an empty house and introduced to the basic mechanics of the game. ![]() Speaking of which let’s see how that went. You play for the gameplay and the mechanics. It’s not disappointing to me because as I stated it’s a sim game. You also have a friend/informant named Vinny who you communicate with over the phone as he gives you tips and advice on houses for you to rob and guides you through the process. Your repayment robbing houses for them and doing scores. You’re an unnamed protagonist who was recently bailed out of jail by a mob called the Lombardi’s and now you’re indebted to them. The really isn’t any plot to the game, which is understandable due to it being a sim game. Did it live up to my high expectations and does it bring out the 14-year-old me and make me feel like a kid again? Let’s find out together. Once I saw the chance to review Thief Simulator, I had to take a stab at it and couldn’t let the opportunity slip by. ![]() The only problem that I faced was that most of the simulation games being released after were being associated with VR which I don’t own and the ones that were on console couldn’t fulfil that same level of enjoyment that Surgeon Simulator could. Ever since then I always had a fascination with the genre. While it didn’t make me into a surgeon or make me want to pursue the profession, me and my 14-year-old self-had a blast playing it and messing around with the game mechanics. The last simulator game I’ve played was Surgeon Simulator and that was back in 2014, my freshman year of high school.
