The value story
The lowest price on record is $3.99, set in December 2019. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 46 in the 10 years tracked, about 11 weeks apart.
It is less well reviewed than 63 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. One-armed robber (free, scores 73) and Sword With Sauce ($4.99, scores 61) both outscore it.
23 of the 624 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 76 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 23 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 45 percent of the 397 reviews written there were positive, against 73 percent overall, and those are 23 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
This game is special to me because It was something that my favourite youtubers were playing back in the 2016. The game itself is fine, if you play the Legacy Version. The new version has much more bugs, the sound volume of weapons is too loud btw. Not sure the Data Center level is beatable in the "release" version
Genuine peak game, only issue I had was that bum ahh 1.0 update ruining everything. Luckily, you can just select the legacy version on startup. Great addition to my perfect games.
Sneak Thief is anything but sneaky. More an FPS with a *very* light and shonky stealth system and an identity crisis. Some of the crap you steal in the later levels airs more on the side of James Bond than a 'thief'... The last mission with its 'Impossible' rating is only so with the game's terrible hit detection, that will leave you scratching your head when enemies appear to be seemingly bullet proof. A childs...
