Well, that was fantastic.

Loved my time with this one, a much more pleasant experience than Sly 2. The game is streamlined, much less tedious, repetitive and annoying. I see how the lack of collectibles might sting, but I didn't really bother collecting them when they were there, so...

The variety of gameplay styles is fun, though some additions are worse than the others. Particularly the diving missions and the whole pirate shtick, felt a bit out of place.

The story doesn't have the same stakes that Sly 2's or even Sly 1's story had, but it's a nice send-off for the gang and the characterisation is on point, as always.

Yeah, I think Sly 3 is the best in the series. Now I just gotta wait for Sony to rerelease Thieves in Time on PS5 so I can play that one.
