Sly Cooper was once an iconic 3D platformer for PlayStation. But its last game came out 11 years ago, and is largely forgotten today. What happened to Sly Cooper?

      I played them for the first time a few years ago, they are legitimately quite good. above average in many ways and totally unique in other ways.

      4 less so, some other people made that one.

      I loved all 3 games as a kid, and I think it did a lot of things right for a game of that era. I think it’s at least surprising that it never had a remake or a more modern iteration, considering other remakes like ratchet & clank, rayman, etc.

        I think that’s the key thing there… “as a kid”. Kids aren’t exactly discerning when it comes to games… or movies… or pretty much anything really. It takes time and experience to distinguish what makes something good or bad or just average.

        I was in my 30s for the PS2 generation. Sly, Jack and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank - they were all lost on me. Great if you’re a kid. Otherwise? Eh… meh.

          Well maybe some day you’ll have enough experience to distinguish good games. You’re clearly not there just yet.
