It all starts off simple enough, but as you work through the game and take on more valuable targets you’ll find that you’ve got to work a little harder. Whilst you might be using a crowbar to smash windows Gordon Freeman-style early on, after just a couple of hours play you’ll be picking locks and cutting through window panes fuss-free. You have a bunch of different tools at your disposal that can be improved upon as you progress, whilst you’ll also see yourself working up to bigger and better locations as you go on.

It’s all about breaking into properties, avoiding their occupants or security systems, grabbing all the loot you can, and getting out of there unseen. Thief Simulator puts you in the role of a burglar (who’s aptly known as The Thief) and gives you the task of doing what he does best: robbing houses. Thief Simulator though? Well, it takes it to the next level. I’ve committed many sins over the years in the likes of Grand Theft Auto, The Elder Scrolls, Payday, and Night in the Woods (it counts!), with each game giving me the chance to show off my criminal side. Not in real life, of course, but in video games where there’s no risk of me having to spend life in prison for doing so.
