I really enjoyed this game, but I didn't love it.

With Sucker Punches last games Sly 3 this feels like a natural evolution in terms of gameplay, aesthetics and writing.
In the Sly Cooper games, you played a thief who could climb on stuff with the push of a button leaving for some pretty fun platforming, here instead of only being able to come on certain objects you can climb on pretty much everything. This leads to a fun (at times janky) traversal mechanic that I can't get enough of.

The character writing in this is also really good, I wouldn't say it's on par with Sly 3 but it's still pretty good, and that story ohhh boy. It's comic bookie as shit but that's why I love it. This game is a love letter to Super Hero comics, and it shows in nearly every detail.

Although there are a few flaws. One of the big ones being it a game from 2009, what I mean is it has that brown and gray look to everything, and the game feels extremely janky.
And for some reason, the game is excessively difficult at times. I played on normal, and most of the enemies were very bullet spongy and did way too much damage to you.
The biggest fault the game has is, it's morality system It's really really lame. The "choices" your given are just "Do you want to pick the good side or the bad side." and none of your choices have any influence on the story making pretty much all of them really pointless.

I really liked this game but like most first games this has some problems that bog it down from being great.
