I definitely preferred Sly 1 and it's platformer focused gameplay but I still gave this game a try. The main attraction are the heists, which have you prepping for each one by doing a variety of tasks. Gone is the collect-a-thon gameplay and instead replaced with mission based objectives that vary based on the character you use. (This game did it better than Jak 2 thank god) I would say the quality for some of the heists are usually consistent and make at least a little sense. (Yes I know, looking for sense in a videogame inspired by Saturday morning cartoon shows.) But where I finally had an issue was Bison's 2nd area. This one felt pointless since the heist doesn't even feel important and feels padded on since the whole point is to compete against Bison in his competition. Not only that, you fail anyway and have to fight him. What was the point lmao. It just feels like the game is on break or something until Sly and co. lose the Clockwerk parts where the story gets a little serious again. Tho at this point the missions for the heists do start feeling a little repetitive gameplay wise. Whatever, enough about that.
The story is neat not really anything crazy. The main trio characters are an upgrade over the 1st game since your partners feel like actual partners since you work together. They have more life put into them and cared about them by the end. (Poor Bentley)
The stealth can be improved. It usually is optional unless a mission demands it. (It's a heist, duh) It was fun for the first couple of worlds but became repetitive quick. The only incentive to sneak around and steal money or treasures is for more money. That money can buy abilities and only abilities, nothing else. Half of them are useless and just made me stop trying to stealth by the end since there isn't anything to collect besides the bottles for more abilities. (Yay...)
Uhhhhhhh that's honestly all I have to say. Usually with these "reviews" of mine I just point out some improvements, differences, and stuff I didn't like . The less complaints, the better the game and score. All in all, charming game, good characters, decent enough story but repetitive gameplay loop outside the heists.
