Critic Reviews for Thick As Thieves
I wish Thick as Thieves had more to do overall, but it’s hard to find much fault with the stealthy co-op heists that are here.
Thick as Thieves is a reasonably-priced $5 game with a solid foundation, but needs more playable characters, maps, depth, and encouragement for creativity.
While Thick as Thieves is a short game lacking in many basic features like rebindable controls, it's an easy game to recommend thanks to its compelling gameplay loop, emphasis on replayability, and a co-op mode.
Thick as Thieves lays the foundation for an excellent stealth-based Immersive Sim, but locks so much of what could've been built on it behind draconian online multiplayer design.
As stated before, Thick as Thieves is a good game if you are OK with a more simplified stealth experience. It is a title that's easy to get into for stealth novices but provides some challenge for genre veterans if you do some real grinding to unlock higher difficulty levels. It would be nice to see a timetable for when new scenarios and levels would arrive, but what's available is good enough for those who want a quick stealth experience before moving on to bigger titles and returning once a big update drops.
Thick as Thieves delivers a fun stealth experience that rewards creativity and tests your thieving skills through environmental interaction and multiple approaches. Sneaking and core gameplay mechanics work well, though the current progression systems still feel somewhat limited and could benefit from further expansion over time.

Thick As Thieves is not a completely bad game, and there is genuinely the foundation for something better here, but as it stands, it is an underwhelming stealth experience. The core ideas have some promise, yet they are wrapped in a bare-bones package that does not offer much of an interesting challenge unless you push through repetitive contracts just to unlock the difficulties where the game actually starts to come alive.
Thick as Thieves delivers exactly what stealth fans have been missing, a beautifully designed, highly complex world where exploration, patience, and map knowledge matter just as much as pure gameplay skill. For just five euros, it offers far more depth, tension, and fun than you’d ever expect at that price point.
