Another annoying bug I found was in the notes section of the menu. There were many occasions when the game would shut down unexpectedly, luckily due to the auto-save function progress was not lost and was more of an annoyance more than anything.

Some of them are pretty hilarious and somewhat makes the game that little bit more entertaining but there are some game breaking bugs that can be a pain as they occur quite frequently. Thief simulator is a pretty enjoyable experience but unfortunately the game is riddled with bugs and glitches.

As ever in these types of games, stealing cars is always a blast! There’s a glitch in the hood

But my favourite skill which comes later in the game is the technology skill where you learn how to hack terminals using a PDA or laptop.

Skills can range from agility, where you can learn to run faster when carrying larger items like TV’s or printers, to lock picking where you learn to open more sophisticated doors and sneak into properties rather than using brute force and smashing windows which will attract the attention of the owner resulting in the po-po catching you. Because you need to be at a certain level and have a certain amount of skill points to unlock an item which is needed in the story line, it can feel like a real grind later in the game when extra XP is sparse and levelling up takes a lot longer. The game is heavily focused on levelling up and gaining XP which can ruin the momentum of the game due to not being able to progress. Saying that, it’s better then nothing and I found driving around in third person helped a lot. The handling of the car is not great either and I can only imagine it was only added to help the player get from A to B, which is a shame as you do spend a big chunk of the game driving around from place to place. The design of the car is not very pretty, if you had to imagine what the car looked like in the song W.T.P by Eminem then this is it. You can also use the car to sleep in to pass the time. Noble Muffins have added driving mechanics to thief simulator to help you get around and make a quick getaway if needed. The second area is the pawn shop which you will only need to visit when you want to sell the items you have pilfered from the poor citizens and finally the third area being the neighbourhoods themselves, this is where you will spend most of your time. The hints can be from property owners daily habits or if the house has a high valued item. The dark web can let you accept side contracts to earn more money, buy tools to aid you, black bay where you can sell wanted items for a high price and a forum in which you can buy hints for certain properties. The first area being your home where you can store items that you have stolen, learn new skills, sleep to pass the time and access the dark web via a PC. There are 3 main area’s in which you can visit within thief simulator. He will call you every now and then to give you missions and objectives to complete and help re-pay your dues. There is very little substance to the story line other than a guy named Vinny has helped you out and, as a result, you are now you are in debt to him big time. As you level up and progress you can learn new techniques and buy more intricate items such as hacking PDA’s and cameras to help you pull off bigger and more lucrative break-ins. Thief Simulator is an open world game in which you start off as a petty crook breaking into properties to steal or vandalise items with only a crowbar to your name. Have you ever thought that you would make a decent thief or just that you wanted to cause havoc on a quaint suburban neighbourhood but then realised, nah that’s a stupid idea, you are way too good looking to go to jail.
