60 of 63 · most liked firstI just wanted to put out a hearty "Cry more" to anyone who whines about a VR sequel / side game coming out to a game IP they like. I'm quite excited to try out the Thief VR game. Stealth/Sneaking/Futzing games are pretty perfect for VR honestly.
unlabelledView post →Right, @pcgamer.com's Fraser Brown beat me to writing about why a Thief VR game is such demoralising news, so instead I decided to look on the bright side and remember why I care so much about the series in the first place. kotaku.com/thief-vr-psv...
unlabelledView post →Based on the trailer voiceover Thief VR is the first video game starring Philomena Cunk
unlabelledView post →Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow isn't a perfect stealth game, but there's a strong Dishonored vibe to it that's enough to tempt you in www.eurogamer.net/thief-vr-leg...
unlabelledView post →Anyone know if that new Thief VR game has that same open, non linear level design of Thief 2? I'm sure levels can't be as massive as they were in Thief 2, but non-linearity is the best part of a stealth imsim
unlabelledView post →I really hope that new Thief VR game is good.
unlabelledView post →The best thing about Thief VR is 1. Knowing that Eidos Montreal still has work and may yet survive. 2. I have another game to buy for my Quest 2 that isn't Resident Evil 4. (And as someone who used to work there, I had NO IDEA this was a thing.)

unlabelledView post →My boy @danscalesdev.bsky.social went to great lengths to make it so that you have the option to botch a level in Thief VR by having clicky knees IRL youtu.be/j-R8aRKXsLU?...
unlabelledView post →That was the best State of Play I’ve seen in ages. Highlights: - Nioh 3 - Lumines Arise (VR!!) - Sword of the Sea - Sea of Remnants - iOi’s James Bond game - Thief VR Plus the weird and wonderful looking games (Romeo Is A Dead Man, Pragmata). So many intriguing games!
unlabelledView post →since I'm messing with VR stuff again I should really get back to playing the Thief VR game. i was actually liking it quite a bit. Maybe I'll just start it over cuz it's been so long lol.
unlabelledView post →oh yeah I really need to finish the Thief VR game.... I really like VR games when I play them but I'm so on and off with it. I'll have a few weeks where I'm using it all the time and then go several months without touching it even once lol.
unlabelledView post →Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow: A VR game set in the Thief universe, with an all new narrative. Apparently the old Garret from thief 1&2 is back and better than ever. Cool to see this IP get a new game that people don't hate. #IndieGame #Thief #VirtualReality #VR store.steampowered.com/app/2800080/...
unlabelledView post →The Thief VR game is fun. It also makes me want to put together a 2 person Project: Dark game where I actually make a bunch of "levels" ahead of time. (You need to set up Stealth Levels and make Eavesdrops---conversations players are handed to read outloud when they overhear them)

unlabelledView post →Day 155 Garrett would probably say this if he played the Thief VR game I think
unlabelledView post →Definitely. Check this out: *puts on VR headset, grabs the glass in-game, and puts out the fire in a fireplace in one smooth toss* It interacts with all fire, like in Thief. VR games benefit from an immersive sim approach.
unlabelledView post →Right, I haven't spoken about Thief VR much since it came out, and that's mainly because it's VR only so I can't play it lol. I think some of its story and design decisions are good steps forward and I'm not opposed to VR, but making the game so inaccessible to the average Thief fan lowkey sucks.
unlabelledView post →Game #37 Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow (PC via Quest 2) A step in the right direction gameplay-wise but it's held back by a number of technical issues and bugs. The levels are fun and akin to a Deadly Shadows-lite experience with art direction closer to the original trilogy. 6.5/10

unlabelledView post →Happy Monday friends, here is this week's stream schedule! Monday we have a goofy looking sim game I got sent a key for called Parcel Frenzy Wednesday we're playing Thief VR since Half-Life Alyx is still crashing for me Friday we're back fishing in Dredge #streamschedule #vtuber
unlabelledView post →Playing the new Thief VR game. You can pet a bird!
unlabelledView post →Blade and Sorcery hangs out at the top too most of the time, and it arguably is as full a game as Alyx; I'm also interested in seeing if the new Thief VR game is any good, the trailer looked interesting. You could always make a Qud VR game, I know I'd play it ;D
unlabelledView post →"A decent thievery game, but not as good a Thief game." Gareth has given his judgement of Thief VR. Read his full thoughts at the link. www.thesixthaxis.com/2025/12/15/t... #gaming #videogames #gamenews
unlabelledView post →I reviewed Thief VR. I think it does its VR bits really well. I'm a little let down by the level design, which feels a bit more like Thief 2014 2.0. Good to hear Stephen Russell back as Garrett though. www.gamingbible.com/reviews/thie...
unlabelledView post →Well... Shame, because the game was fun, but I guess I just learned that the Twitch audience doesn't have much interest in Thief VR. 🤨
unlabelledView post →Thief VR is out today. I've always loved the classic Thief games and ever since getting a VR headset, I thought Thief would be a great game to put in VR. Can't wait to get my hands on this! www.roadtovr.com/thief-vr-rev...

unlabelledView post →Crazy, I would never have expected a Thief VR game! And by Vertigo Games, even cooler!! Congrats on the announcement.
unlabelledView post →Good morning everyone... I am still unreasonably mad about the Thief VR game... This is my life now.
unlabelledView post →Hmm, let’s see… - Romeo Is A Dead Man - Silent Hill f - FF Tactics remake - Thief VR - Nioh 3 - MK Kollection - Thieves of Tomorrow - Sword of the Sea - MARVEL FUCKING ARCSYS GAME If not even one of these (or any other game shown) sticks out to you, are you sure you even like Sony?
unlabelledView post →Silent Hill F, Thief: VR, new Lumines, and Marvel fighting game by ArcSys look amazing as hell and made the show for me. It was also nice to see more Resident Evil and Twisted Metal on PS Plus. 🥰
unlabelledView post →I would play a Thief VR game if it was good! There's a game from a few years back called Unknightly that had a similar idea.
unlabelledView post →That #StateOfPlay was pretty good. - New Suda51 game ✅ - Silent Hill f releasing surprisingly soon - New Bond game looks really cool - Lumines Arise & Thief VR are keeping my PSVR2 from rotting on my shelf Can’t wait… although I can because Switch 2 is tomorrow…
unlabelledView post →I don't even know where to start. For one I was on *FIRE* when it came to calling out things instantly. "Oh this is a Mizuguchi Game. Lumines!" "There's no fucking way this is Pragmata." "This is a Suda51 Game." "Is that fucking Nioh 3!?", "Thief VR???" Lmao
unlabelledView post →I am so excited Amber! New Thief VR game, Silent Hill, Nioh 3!!!
unlabelledView post →THIS SONY STATE OF PLAY IS COMPLETE DOGSHIT FOR THE THIEF VR GAME
unlabelledView post →A THIEF VR GAME!?!?!?
unlabelledView post →Did you try the Thief VR game? It's actually really cool and feels way closer to the classic games than the 2014 reboot. It doesn't surpass 1 and 2 imo but it's still a really good time and doesn't feel too watered down from what a proper Thief game should be.

unlabelledView post →Few minutes of testing Thief VR: Legacy of Shadows and it's clear to me that the game has many issues, sadly. But it still seems pretty fun. Also I can't show the middle finger with my Valve Index, cause it only tracks 3 zones - it's infuriating, cause I would love to do it to City Watch.
