What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Holding it back
Value$2.50/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Reviews69% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Refunds34 of 659 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
For context
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

74 discounts in the 7 years on record, a median of 52 percent off across all of them, roughly 4 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 76 percent. Thief Simulator 2 ($19.99, scores 66) outscores it, and so does Thief Simulator ($19.99, scores 67). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

More about Thief Simulator VR

Of the 659 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 34 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,362 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 128 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 34 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 50 percent of the 691 reviews written there were positive, against 69 percent overall, and those are 51 percent of everything written about it.

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

Very fun game to just mess around in. If you love streaming and roleplaying, specifically as a thief who breaks into people's homes, this is the game for you.
