While I can try to remain objective and maintain a positive outlook to see the silver linings in everything indie there are games like this that just exhaust me. Granted, the family has become a bit jaded with local multiplayer games, too often failing to provide much original fun, but Thief Town had particular scorn heaped upon it. Even something as simple as setting up your character’s names and figuring out what to do to get the game started is needlessly confusing and poorly implemented. While your goal is to blend in and then stab your enemies the bit of controller lag often made it difficult for everyone to figure out who they even were on the screen. I’m not sure there’s any stand-out single thing that brings it down, but in just about any area you could choose there’s a flaw and when added up it’s just a mess.
