More about Thief Simulator 2

Steam's global achievement data puts about 17 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 12-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Players rate it 88 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 76 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 31 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2024 to November 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 48 percent of the 589 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 12 hours. Doing everything runs 27, 2.3 times as long.

What players say

Not much to say honestly, it is the same as all Thief sims, some good additions in this though. Pros: - I REALLY like the additions of the board missions, just make it possible to choose to spawn back at the map immediately when you get caught. - Skill points, a LOT of progression purchases + upgrades based on how much you stole + side missions, etc, ALL very good. - You have a locker to keep loot + it connects to...

CONTAINS SPOILERS. This truly is THE sequel. Thief simulator 2 basically expands everything from the first game and adds more to it : But its actually sad because you only have 2 maps.

From what i remember, the first game ends...
