Despite its flaws, Thief VR remains one of the standout games in the format that can be recommended, one that, with better polish, could have shone brighter as a worthy return of a seemingly forgotten franchise.

Getting through the world of Thief VR is natural and intuitive, and there's times where it all comes together as you knock out guards and pilfer, but there's so many small details and poor AI that drag you back out of the moment. A decent thievery game, but not as good a Thief game.

"Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow" is an impressive VR stealth game that will captivate both series fans and newcomers alike. The developers have successfully translated the strengths of classic Thief mechanics into virtual reality, creating a game that not only impresses visually but also boasts physical interactivity and precise controls. Those who take on the challenge will be rewarded with an intense, immersive experience that is truly **** game is definitely not for everyone – the steep learning curve, high precision, and patient gameplay require a certain level of frustration tolerance. However, those who are patient stealth enthusiasts will find themselves completely absorbed in "Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow." It's a game that rewards tactics, precision, and steady hands, and those who appreciate this will be rewarded with a true masterpiece of virtual reality.

Huge fan of the original two games so was a little hesitant to try this. But I took the gamble and was pleasantly surprised the game bring the Thief world alive via VR and stealing using stealth is done really well.

Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow delivers an immersive return to classic stealth, with intuitive VR controls, clever sandbox-style missions and plenty of freedom in how you infiltrate and steal. Visual quirks and occasional bugs get in the way, but the tense atmosphere and strong mission design make it one of the standout VR stealth experiences of the year.

Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow feels like a return to form for the immersive sim series. Great mechanics and immersion on a level never experienced before for Thief make this feel like the dormant series is back in full glory.

Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow on PSVR2 is modest in ambition but confident in its chosen identity. It doesn’t offer the sprawling systemic depth of its ancestors, nor does it push stealth AI into new territory, yet the tactile VR experience elevates what could have been forgettable into something surprisingly satisfying. The repetition, the shallow enemy behaviour, and the occasional technical hiccup undeniably pull the game down, but the undeniable charm of physically inhabiting the shadows pushes it back up. What’s left is a VR stealth experience that works because it leans into the strengths of the medium, even if it can’t fully escape its weaknesses.

Perhaps Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow isn’t the triumphant return the series needed, even if the game itself is somewhat fine. In essence, virtual reality fans may enjoy it, while long-time fans hoping for a comeback in the vein of the original series may be disappointed. I hope whoever at Eidos is in charge of the Thief brand doesn’t shelve it for another decade, because I’m still holding out hope that the franchise will have a decent revival worthy of the Looking Glass Studios titles.

It’s a decent slice of a game with potential glimmering just beneath its surface that deserves to be fleshed out into something more ambitious. Thief was built on innovation, as the original was one of the games that helped popularize the stealth genre. And this VR entry, with its primitive mechanics and level design, doesn’t live up to that storied legacy.

Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow had so much potential. It’s got a great aesthetic, and VR movement feels as fluid as you’d hope. However, glitches, disappointingly thin levels, dumb enemy AI, and a lack of replayability result in an undercooked experience.

I really enjoyed the first two Thief games, and this VR version stays true to them. Each mission has an amazing atmosphere; it's super dark, which sets a standard for the three games. The game is incredibly immersive, with excellent interaction with the environment and combat. The AI could use some improvement, but if you're aiming for the Master Thief ranking, it's still quite challenging. I've come across some reports and reviews mentioning bugs, but I personally haven't experienced any crashes or game-breaking issues on my gaming PC while playing through Steam Link with a Quest 3.

It’s not perfect — the story isn’t super deep, and some parts can get repetitive — but honestly, I didn’t care. The whole point is that you feel like a thief, and VR makes that crazy **** you’re into stealth games or just want something that makes you feel like you’re actually inside the action, Thief VR is a must‑play.

A bit underwelming, but descent game. Worth the price if you like the previous game, might want to play it.

Thief VR sadly massively disappoints and underwhelms. This should be a perfect fit for VR but misses the mark just like the arrows from the games badly implemented bow. For a game about BEING IN THE SHADOWS there is no sense that this really matters. Clearly a Quest port with little effort to shine on PSVR2. Enemies have dreadful AI and pose no threat at all. Voice acting is distracting. The interactions which should be solid in a VR game are just weak and often jank. Levels are small, repetitive and reused. What a WASTE of an amazing franchise.
SummaryThief VR: Legacy of Shadow brings the legendary stealth franchise to life like never before. The City is a place of shadows, ruled by the tyrant Lord Ulysses Northcrest. You are Magpie, a cunning thief orphaned by Northcrest’s brutality and shaped by the streets, who steals as the only means to survive. That is until you uncover somet... Read More
