Sure, some jobs would be a bit more complex, but it didn’t stop me from falling into a routine in how I approached them. I found myself doing a lot of the same things over and over again, and whilst some missions did add some clever objectives to complete, they rarely changed up how I would approach a job.

However, whilst you’ll find yourself in plenty of cool situations, Thief Simulator VR: Greenview Street does lack depth in its gameplay mechanics. “There’s nothing quite as rewarding as pulling off the perfect heist and making a ton of cash, whilst managing to escape from a theft that has gone wrong feels equally thrilling.” As I said, there’s a naughty sense of satisfaction found with committing crimes, and Thief Simulator VR: Greenview Street perfectly captures that. It’s fun to break in though, whilst there’s something satisfying about grabbing as many goodies as you can to sell on. Whilst it’s possible to hide or escape from the police, your life is a LOT easier if you just manage to complete your job undetected. You’ll need to keep a close eye on anybody who happens to be nearby, where exactly they are, and what they can see, all whilst carefully figuring out your best point of entry (whilst you’ll also want to be careful not to raise any alarms during the process).

The core mechanics of the game are neat enough, especially when you’re carefully scouting out a property and working out how best to approach it.

You’ll earn cash to purchase new tools, level up to unlock new skills, and take on all sorts of different jobs along the way, with the life of a thief an unsurprisingly busy one. They’ll do this by sneaking out of sight of any inhabitants, smashing up blocked areas or windows with their crowbar, carefully picking locks, and then stealing everything they can before the police arrive on the scene. Thief Simulator VR: Greenview Street puts players in the role of a burglar who has been tasked with breaking into properties and stealing all of the valuables they can find in order to make some cash. Is it any good to play or is it true that crime doesn’t pay? Well, whilst Thief Simulator VR: Greenview Street does have plenty of cool moments, it lacks the depth and polish to make it stand-out as a must-own Meta Quest 2 title. Breaking and entering, grabbing loot, and trying to escape without getting caught… come on, there’s something exciting about it, right? Well, Thief Simulator VR: Greenview Street lets players live out that fantasy without the risk of being put behind bars, with the added immersion of virtual reality and motion controls helping them feel even more involved in the experience. Whilst I’m not in a rush to resort to a life of crime in real-life, there’s something about the idea of breaking the law that’s kinda thrilling.
