Sly Cooper (Patreon)

The one, the only, the sneaky Sly Cooper!
Hoo boy, was this a doozy. Can't even explain why it took so long but here we are, at the finish line and I think it might have some of my best platformer sprites yet.
I only played this for the first time last year and it was a really enjoyable experience. I also did half of the second one and a small chunk of the third one to see how the series progressed and I was fascinated with how each game altered and furthered the formula! So why did I never play it at the time? Well, like many, the Jak and Daxter and Ratcher and Clanks series ate up a lot of the funds at the time, and the most I could venture outside these two juggernauts was a small skirmish into Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (which I still actually do prefer over Sly in some ways, but they're still really solid games. Maybe I just like the aussie setting and Ty being closer to Banjo Kazooie collect-o-thon than sly ;D)
So if you haven't checked out the Sly Cooper series, go out there and try it! They did a remaster/trilogy a good while back for PS3 but it's also available on the PS store as a more modern way of getting it.
