## Thieves' Gambit Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Overall fun game"
I think this story is okay, not good but won’t let you regret to purchase as well. Little too linear and too much characters show up in a short time. Not so catchy
-- Vincent Luong, 2018-09-05

### ****- "Short, linear, but worth it"
Sometimes I’m in the mood for a Choice of Robots style game where every choice I make very perceptibly changes the story and the whole thing takes a while. Sometimes, though, I want something quick and fast I can get through in under an hour and where I can see where everything’s going to go.

That’s what happened here - it’s not a long game by any means, and from my few play throughs nothing really changes too much based on what you do. I’m not even sure my stats truly mattered in the end because no matter what I did I seemed to fumble the same parts.

That said, the story is cute. The characters aren’t that fleshed out but all play a Heist Role that you’re probably used to seeing in Heist movies and shows like Leverage. And in the end, I had a good time - and that’s what matters, right?
-- Maquekenzie, 2018-09-03

### ***** "Pretty great"
Frankly, I really enjoyed this one. It could have been more involved, but I liked it anyway.
-- Don't even ask, 2015-01-18

### **--- "Predictable"
It wasn't absolutely awful, but the story was boring and the plot twist could be seen from a mile away.
-- Jaariel, 2014-12-23

### ****- "Good game, could be better"
A very well written story, however most of your choices are Kinda meaningless especially in the beginning.. Although I did play it several times but I think your choices should impact the game more. Overall very satisfied with my purchase and definitely recommend it
-- Mr.jcury, 2014-12-22

### ***** "Great game"
I really like this game, but in the new update I have had a problem where the custom names do not appear in the text or in the status bar.
-- Fire raptor, 2014-10-28

### ***** "Dazzling"
Excellent choices humor and a great story a lot of fun replayed almost 20 times now
-- Brotherchar, 2014-10-26

### ***** "Fun game"
I wish a big game company would make a game like this where it's a fun story, you can choose if you want to play as a man or woman, and pick your allegiances.
Would buy the next chapter if there is another.
-- VanDD, 2014-10-19

### ****- "Fun Heist game"
This week it looks like we received two treats from CoG.  While one was a heavy historical tale, this one is a lot more lighthearted and fun. 

Your character is the second best thief in the world and in order to prove that you are the best it is up to you to hire some old compatriots and steal the Black Cat diamond (Pink Panther reference anyone?).

The characters aren't very fleshed out in the story. They all represent a particular skill that you might not have.  There are some romance opportunities and the whole thing felt a bit like Ocean's 11 which is a good thing.

It seems like there is a little bit more going on than just the caper which is nice.  I like how it hits all the familiar tropes of its genre. I was entertained and wanted to see where it went, but wasn't incredibly blown away. Took about one and a half hours to go through it on my first play through but I don't feel compelled to replay it to see what might change. 

Wouldn't mind a sequel tho. :) Maybe one where I can choose people on my team from a bigger pool of options.  And perhaps a bit more to do when planning and executing the heist.
-- Zig Ziggenstein, 2014-10-18

### **--- "Too short"
I would have liked this more if it were longer. I felt like I reached the ending fairly quickly, to the point where my "stats" really had no bearing on the story at all. 

The story seems to hint at a sequel, which might fix the aforementioned issue. But given that this is an app you have to pay for in the first place, I feel as if this still doesn't make up for the fact that I didn't get my money's worth.
