Games like Probably Stolen - Cyberpunk Shopkeeper Sim

Steam reviews

What players say

Players overwhelmingly love its deep, replayable shopkeeping loop, though many find the late game repetitive and feel some systems are shallow or unfinished.

Many players describe a game that is hard to put down: buying, crafting and selling goods in a cyberpunk space station, with several viable starting paths, many side economies such as farming, purification and manufacturing, and a steady stream of characters and events. Players single out the inspection and appraisal work, the faction and reputation systems, and the sense of consequence when a deal goes wrong. Some note that the loop becomes repetitive after many hours, that available items and story branches feel limited, and that the ending is abrupt. Several reviewers say the story threads fizzle out and that character relationships lead nowhere. Recent reviews are more mixed on polish and story depth, and a few mention performance slowdowns on Steam Deck and clutter in the inventory and storage screens. Reviewers who played the demo often say the full release improved on it.

Who it suits

Players who enjoy economic management, inventory puzzles and rule-checking games like Papers, Please will likely find it hard to put down.

Who should skip it

Players who want a strong story or who dislike repetitive late-game loops should consider skipping it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with more than 20 hours tend to point to the repetitive late game, while newer players praise the variety of early paths.
