Critic Reviews for Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow
Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow captures the spirit of the franchise and implements it into the VR realm. While smaller in scale, the tight, intricate design makes use of the platform to create an exhilarating stealth adventure. The interactivity anchors you in the world; however, small bugs can quickly break the immersion. While the franchise has stepped away from its origins, it’s found new life in VR.
Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow brings the historic franchise into virtual reality with surprising ease, building an experience grounded in physical stealth, verticality, and tactile interactions. It's not perfect, but it's still unmissable.

Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow fully embraces the power of virtual reality while staying true to the core elements that made the original series so beloved in the first place. Immersive in a way only VR can bring, this game is a must-play for stealth fans and a magical love letter for returning fans. The original may have defined a genre, but Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow raises it to a whole new level.
Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow feels like a return to form for the immersive sim series.
Pinching out a candle, literally whistling to distract a nearby goon, chucking objects to manipulate patrol patterns, and sifting through drawers for loot are all actions that are more immersive than simply holding down a button (especially when the occasionally wonky yet mostly effective “Immersive” setting that turns on the headset’s microphone is flipped on). Interactions like these take common stealth tropes and benefit from the novelty of having to pantomime them in VR.
