Sneak Thief

A good friend of mine gifted me this on steam about a month ago, thinking that the upcoming update would improve the game so that multiplayer was actually playable.

So I played it, and it was really fun, I beat every level that the game had to offer at the time in about 5 hours and, despite some bugs, it was quite enjoyable.

There was still a lot that had to be fixed for me to be able to call this a good game, though. The enemy AI was absolutely atrocious, some of the controls were pretty bad, and the multiplayer at the time, was the worst multiplayer I'd seen. But, despite this, the game was very fun, but I wouldn't call the game good, just enjoyable. If this game hadn't been updated, I'd probably give it a 3, maybe a 3.5.

But then, for the first time in 5+ years, the game got an update about a week ago, and oh my god, this update RUINED the game.

Although it did improve it in one aspect, the game looks better! They overhauled the graphics, which were previously just ported from the Roblox version of the game. But in every other way, this update completely stripped all fun to be had from the game. By either making levels worse by removing guns from them, massive frame-drops even on the lowest of graphical settings, (which, to be fair, happened in the earlier version, it wasn't to this magnitude.) weird bugs that make it impossible to see, which is VERY annoying since this game is extremely dark. Or by making levels straight up impossible due to missing assets that are needed to progress.

This update is a complete mess. While the developer says they will continue to update the game from here on out, I don't see how this could get much better in the near future.

1/5

I bought this thinking it would be a nice upgrade from the Roblox version and I came out realizing how easy it was to recreate indie Unity games in Roblox, but better. Buggy and boring. What's acceptable as a Roblox game isn't acceptable for ten dollars.
