⭐ https://youtu.be/sAi-z2rpS_w ⭐ Recommended? ❌ Not in its current state. I really wanted to like this game. The neon 80s vibe, the retro city, the whole “Vice-style thief fantasy” sounded great on paper but after playing through the missions, it’s clear the game needs a massive update before it can be recommended. ✔ What’s Good · 80s atmosphere is spot on — great colors, great vibe · Concept has potential · Basic systems (lockpicking, distractions, looting) could be fun with refinement · Pawn shop interactions / haggling are interesting ideas ✘ What’s Not Good · Cop AI is extremely inconsistent Sometimes they spot you instantly for turning your head 2 degrees, other times you can stand next to them picking your nose and they don’t care. · Controls and animations feel stiff Movement, crouching, and interactions just don’t feel smooth. · Mission structure feels copy-paste Almost every job works the exact same way with only minor changes. · Map is tiny and repetitive You end up running around the same small block over and over. · Bugs and logic problems everywhere Objectives fail randomly, cars don’t register, and some interactions break completely. · No real progression or…

Vice Thief Simulator: 80s Nostalgia is the type of game I was really looking forward to. I often play these kinds of simulation games. And on top of that, it has a great 80s theme, a theme I absolutely love! The 1980s were known for their amazing synth music, flashy neon colors, and arcades! This is an action simulation game designed and published by Oddi Tycoon. [b]A Promising Idea[/b] The way they describe the game is exactly what pulls me in. While playing, you dive into the neon-lit 80s and become a cunning thief. You break into houses and steal valuable items. You also hijack cars and have to escape from the police. To do this more effectively, you upgrade your skills and gear and try to survive in a world where only the boldest criminals make it. Your goal is actually very simple: get rich. Enjoy a world set in the 1980s and don’t get caught. One wrong move and the police are right behind you. You can lose the cops quickly and easily. For example, by throwing a bottle so they go investigate the noise. Or by setting off a car alarm. Are they still chasing you? Just run. Slalom a bit through narrow alleys and you lose them. I have to say, I do like the 80s style, but it doesn…

After my first session, here is my structured feedback: The 80s atmosphere is well done and visually appealing. The concept has potential, especially for players who enjoy simulation and stealth elements. From an accessibility perspective: No official controller support No built-in key remapping No arrow key configuration English only for now The game is playable with adapted controllers using external software, but native controller support and full key remapping would significantly improve accessibility for players with reduced mobility. I will continue testing and provide further feedback. Alex | Accessibility-focused content creator ♿ Providing constructive feedback to improve inclusive gaming

So I absolutely love the 80s, in fact all the colours etc I use on my YouTube channel are all 80s inspired. This looked like it was going to be fun, the idea of being in the 80s, stealing things, avoiding getting in trouble. I really do hate craping on peoples work because the developer obviously worked on this and wanted it to be good, and maybe it will be in the future. My issue was I sat down and re-recorded this for channel 4 times, and eventually just gave up. The mission was break into a garage and steal "watches", which I now know from watching someone elses playthrough that it wasn't in fact watches you were to steal, it was a clock. So I'm guessing a language issue in translation perhaps. But after being in the garage for most of the time I spent in the game, not seeing any watches, getting caught by the police every 5 minutes I just gave up and In the end didn't even make a video on it. I hope things get sorted because it could be an interesting game, but it just didn't do it for me as it is.

Vice Thief Simulator: 80s Nostalgia is a first-person theft game set in a neon-soaked version of the 1980s. You break into houses, steal valuables, hijack cars, and try to stay ahead of the cops while upgrading your skills and gear. The focus is on sneaking, lockpicking, and building yourself up as a career criminal in a stylized era. Pros ✔️ Multiple unlocking mechanics - As someone who enjoys lockpicking systems, I liked knowing there were different ways to get into places. ✔️ Plenty of items to steal - There’s no shortage of stuff to grab, which at least makes exploration feel worthwhile. ✔️ You keep stolen items when caught - That choice softens failure and keeps mistakes from feeling completely punishing. Cons ❌ Sneaking feels broken - The stealth system just doesn’t work well enough to support the kind of game this wants to be. ❌ Lockpicking is weak - Despite having multiple methods, none of them feel especially well-developed. ❌ Feels half-cooked overall - A lot of systems are there, but they don’t feel finished or well integrated. Conclusion On paper, it should’ve worked for me, especially with the focus on stealing and multiple entry methods. In practice, it felt rushed…
