Today I’m diving into Thief VR, a modern revival of the classic stealth series that helped define the genre back when I was 16. Does this new version capture that old magic? Is it worth your money? And is stealth still stealth when the guards can’t see you even if you shout directly above them?
In this 5 minute Thief VR review, I cover:
🔹 Stealth Mechanics – how darkness, water arrows and sneaking feel almost exactly like the original games
🔹 Level Design & Visuals – gorgeous lighting and steampunk-medieval vibes
🔹 Immersion Features – blowing out candles, physically pinching flames, guards hearing your voice through the mic, and even calling your pet bird for extra cash
🔹 Combat & Gameplay – satisfying longbow use, simple melee, and enemy AI that often forgets you exist
🔹 Lockpicking – intuitive at first, but quickly repetitive and too easy
🔹 Story & Voice Acting – fully voiced campaign, but NPCs all sound the same
🔹 Performance – smooth on my system with polished interactions and looting
If you're wondering “Is Thief VR worth it in 2025?”, or you just want to relive some nostalgia with a modern twist, this review breaks it all down.
