Sly 1's got excellent stealth-themed platforming, a solid look and feel, and, well, good pacing on paper, at least. The game doesn't outstay its welcome—I beat it within a day—but the mini-games and genre-divergent levels whiff far too often to fulfill their role offering variety, sometimes even sending the game grinding to a halt when combined with its occasional bouts of poor checkpointing. There's a stellar foundation here, but I was let down by much of the surrounding elements.
As the first game in the series, it introduces a great core that later entries built upon. The gameplay is snappy, the artstyle is timeless, but the locations are a bit uninspired and bland. The levels themselves feature fun gameplay but are still nothing to write home about. The collecthathon and time trial aspects are fun, but they have been done better. The powerup idea is great, but 90% of the powerups are completely useless, and I ended up only using a couple. Overall, it is a solid platformer that I can wholeheartedly recommend.
