  The idea of the game is playing a thief, which is mix of a quest(interacting with people and objects and making the right decisions) and sneaking around(moving slowly while crouching and hiding in the shadows to avoid enemies). The story is not bad and the characters are well developed but the game itself is lacking. 1st. There is the idea of being a thief which is stealing, lock picking, cracking safes and hacking computers but for something(safes and hacking) that you need to learn to do fast and time yourself just right there is very little of it and feels like a waste time. There is a lot of the thieving and lock picking parts but they are too easy and not a challenge at all. 2nd. The cameras are just horrible. You can barely see anything(even when you can switch between 2 camera views) and it makes it really hard sneaking around and maneuver. Even finding the point and click parts is not so easy because of the camera views... 3ed. the game crashes a lot and there are many bugs that will annoy you. Some bugs are so bad that they will actually prevent you from continuing the game even if you reload to the last checkpoint or restart the game!!! The bugs just stay there forever and you have to replay the whole chapter and just hope to avoid triggering them on a second try. That is just plain ridiculous, and very lazy on the developers side. Any game a customer is paying for should be tested thoroughly before being released. After finishing the game and enjoying it a bit(The parts where the game didn't crash or was too buggy to play), I could see that the idea of the game has a lot of potential but the bad parts of the game itself heavily outweigh any good parts. I can't recommend it, not at a full price anyway(no less then 90% off the price in my opinion).

  A very beautiful game, the comic aesthetic most definitely works. The voice-acting and music is also top-notch. Plot-wise it was extremely gripping, I had to finish it in one sitting, which also might be the games weakest point: it' not very long (about 6-7 hours). On the other hand, I missed half the achievements while playing through casually, so hunting the rest will provide something more to do. The mechanics for lock-picking etc felt a bit easy for me, but the game is more about stealth in any case, so I really can't fault that. Definitely recommended.

  I really enjoyed many parts of this game, however I was unable to finish it because of a game progression bug. SPOILERS: In episode 2, after the safe was cracked, there was a bug that made it unplayable. There were two guards still in the room, I checked other game plays and the room is supposed to be empty. One guard was at the coffee machine still and one blocked the elevator exit. Since there was no way to escape back to the train station, I had to stop playing. I was disappointed especially since this game was fun and challenging up to this point, despite the camera view mechanics being a bit unfriendly to game play.

  It's an adventure game that refuses to really offer any kind of choice or agency. You follow objectives, dodge specific people, and act out a script written by a sexually repressed person. You're generic hot thief girl who is the apprentice of Generic Master Thief Guy. The first half of the game is spent reliving the main characters events through and interview with some sort of weird secret agent lady, the other half relates to the final hiest. Do you like all of the cool mechanics shown off in the trailer like having allies and cool stealth mechanics? Yeah, you almost never get to use your allies, your choices don't matter too much since the script demandsa specific thing out of you, and for the most part you just do objectives until the game ends. It's just not a good series.

  So this is a good example of an almost there game – if you like tell-tale games and their ilk you should give this a shot; but at a major discount. It’s an admirable attempt to innovate and revive the Lucas arts/old school tell-tale style of game, with a sleek and killer visual aesthetic, superb soundtrack, strong voice work and very legible puzzles. It’s a heist story told well for the most part (The core plot is complete by the end; so there no TO BE CONTINUED to ruin the experience either) and the game stealth sections are solid, rarely annoying. Only one puzzle genuinely annoyed me; and that’s to the jank; which become more pronounced as the game goes along. The biggest issue the game has is that act 4 soft locks often and the game feels unfinished – the game did not sell walking dead numbers and it’s clear it’s a very budget experience at points. It’s very apparent that they had to rush to a conclusion because it they knew they weren’t getting a season 2, so as a result, some plot points just stop; and the lack of more action driven set pieces also don’t help. It’s the embodiment of a “almost there” experience. It’s far from a perfect game; but it’s not a bad one either. I had a good time with it, and I adored its presentation; but I’d only recommend it cheap. 6.5/10

  The game was ok up to volume 4. Nothing great but nothing extremely bad either. Bland. Unfortunately the game bugged multiple times on volume 4 especially in the bank making it unplayable.

  I wish it didn't have fixed camera positions at the beginning but I just got used to it. I liked the art, the voice acting was nice and the missions design is awesome. The story is kinda eh, you're pretty much a thief doing thief things. The AI is a joke, they can so you one second and forget you ever existed the other second. The game bugged out a few times but nothing a restart couldn't fix. Overall, it's a good game.

  In all honesty, I mainly purchase Thief of Thieves for the comic booky aesthetic more so than it been based on a comic book known as Thief of Thieves which I'm not planning on reading, even after finishing this game, the whole men in black spy and thief trope isn't something I'm invested in. Not the say there's nothing good about this game, for instance, there are some characters with their own colourful personality, the way 3D comic style pop out really was translated well as an artistic choice, and lastly, there's plenty of time when your decision could affect the story subtly. On the other hand, the stealthy gameplay definitely held this game back, with missing audio in some sections and buggy AI that range from hyper-sensitive to just plain no brain which could ruin immersion for some mission. Finally, I don't usually talk about the camera in this case, it was very limited to checking your surrounding, making it easier to mess up. the developers try to compromise this by having an arrow appear around your character when an enemy is near you, but a lot of times that isn't enough to avoid being spotted, and a lot of time being pushed to death and vague into a loading screen. I can tell this wasn't an easy game to get the balancing and the mechanic right, at the very least I commend the developer for trying to make the comic book game with its unique style I am sure anyone can admire. Part of this game needs more polishing, so I can't recommend it sadly, plus the story wasn't that interesting to me, like I say this isn't my type of genre so I can't go any further praising the story, and as you can see there's never going to be a Season 2.
