What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Shadow Burglar is a stealth-focused adventure that builds its identity around the clever use of darkness, supernatural abilities, and a revenge-driven narrative.
Set within an alternate vision of post-war London during the 1920s, the game blends historical inspiration with fantasy elements, creating a setting where crime, political unrest, and mystery naturally complement its stealth-oriented gameplay.
Unique idea, cute graphic style, great soundtrack.
The interaction between lighting and Jean's abilities adds another layer of depth, since changing environmental conditions can completely alter the safest path through a level.
Stealth is more on the fun side than difficulty.

Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
