Moreover, you can hit a handful of properties without repercussions. Pedestrians, on the other hand, appear out of nowhere at the most inopportune time. Homeowners are easy enough to avoid if you hide in the shadows.

It drives slow and often hits pedestrians, rendering escape utterly pointless. Even the cars in the Far Cry games are better. However, The Thief's getaway car is more of a hindrance than a help.

You can also drive away, especially if the cops are called after you trip over the alarm system. You can hide within and around the homes-including garbage bins and closets. They appear with white silhouettes, so you can track their movements. To add a challenge, the occupants sometimes appear while you are in the act of stealing. Selling your stolen items to the pawnshop will gain you cash, while more specific items can be sold off on a black market. Pulling off simple jobs will earn you XP, letting you buy better thieving skills. As your thief skill tree develops, you get more options as to how you want to steal. You can also get access to some equipment to make your missions a little easier. However, as the game progresses, you will learn how to pick locks to gain access to homes without making noises. You'll start your string of B-and-Es by using a crowbar to smash a window and steal some saucepans and kettles. It works by slowly introducing you to the mechanics. The game is more of a cross between the Thief games and Payday 2. What you'll get is a handful of neighborhoods, each home filled with precious valuables.

And while it is a sandbox game at the core, it doesn't have huge open worlds where you can steal en masse like in the Grand Theft Auto series either.
