Tbh, it very sad, sly franchise always for me seemed as a predecessor of first assassin's creed games since second game (don't include sly 4 abomination, sanzaru fuck up good aspects of series), but sly was overall better in every aspect: design mission, style, writing and etc. This franchise had potentional to be only real assassin's creed competitor and sadly sony don't give a fuck to it. Sly 2//3 Is still ture peak of sucker punch games, brilliantly stilysh and incredibly fun to play even after so many years, they really still fill like a modern design open-world game.

For me it's still surprise how they manage make a reallly good working open-world stealth parkour game (even if open worlds hubs are not so giant by modern standard and there's not so much content), it's one of the first in their open-world assassin's creed like subgenre, if not the first game that did it so properly good. Sly 2 & 3 really was way beyond it's time.

Also I don't need mention it's the most beautiful games on ps2 in terms of visual, it's really deep dark magic how on such low-tech hardware, they manage create so beautiful environments that it's still one of the most beautiful games ever, sad in 2004-2005 there's no was photomode. Especially it's easily may seen in during first Tsao boss fight, even in 2005 sucker punch was managed create impressive lightining, water, fog, vegetation and even scattering particles and leaves in the wind. this moment just looks like ps2 version of ghost of tsushima in terms of visual, how beautiful it was.
