Worst Sly Game in the Trilogy

[saiyanbloodstyle]

The challenges on this are really annoying, especially the last ultimate gauntlet & Dr M challenge, he's on something else because in the story i beat him in 2 tries.

 

It just doesn't do what you want a lot of the times whilst climbing, seen other people complain too and say it's the worst one they played.

 

Personally Sly 2 was my favourite but after playing Sly 3, i am scared of getting Sly 4, might be very annoying too.

I liked them all pretty equally including even Thieves In Time which I think by far has the most critics against it. I've never really seen any real complaints against Sly 3 or any of the original trilogy for that matter. 

 

Another series I really gotta go back and play again.

The challenges are a pain i've seen people complain about it too, only some though as most are easily do-able but when the game doesn't register what you do always it's annoying, it worked on Sly 2 but this one was strange....

I know there's a lot of people who will claim Sly 3 is the best, but I will agree, still a good game, but Sly 3 is probably the weakest. Challenges as you said didn't need to be here and only make it more frustrating, it's a step down in scope compared to Sly 2, and even though I love the pasta sauce joke, this game has probably some of the cheesiest writing. Not to say Thieves in Time doesn't have its share of silly moments, but I'll say this. While Sly 2 has the best story and probably is the best game overall, personally I think Thieves in Time while everything else is for better or worse, it has the best gameplay of the series.

I'm gonna be peak contrarian and say that I enjoyed first Sly the most, then 4 (no idea why is it so hated among fans, it's pretty much the same game as previous two titles), then 3 and I found 2 the worst.
Also, I can't say much about game itself since our opinions differ, but the platinum in 4 is easily the most annoying with 3 sets of collectables and dumbass "check your map in every single level and area" trophy. Probably won't go for it even though I enjoyed the game.

Finally someone who agrees with me that Sly 2 is the worst game

[IzunaGaiden]

yeah sly 2 is a great shit

Sly 1 is the best, 3 Is the worst. The other 2 float in between

I've played and platted Sly 1,2,3, and even Bentley's Hackpack and the Sly Minigames (not played 4 yet) and can say I hated every single one. Not saying that just to have a hot take, but I just don't get why people love these games... The controls are awful and the gameplay is extremely repetitive. I can only think as I didn't play them as a kid that I just don't have that nostalgia.

Like I love Crash, Spyro, and Ratchet and Clank so much, and I've seen people on here not like them but say they love Sly haha? Guess nostalgia has a funny way of making us overlook flaws in games (myself included). And before someone says why did you play them all if you didn't like them; well, I bought the trilogy so I might as well plat them if I already bought them lol... 

Have put off playing Sly 4 for a couple years now cause I just don't think I'll enjoy it if it's more of the same!

no the worst is the 2 all in this game is a pure shit

[Xillynoc]

Absolutely, I don't know how anyone can defend this game with the Carmelita voice it chose. Thieves in Time is stellar by comparison

[Nute202-]

I liked 1 & 2, while Thieves in Time was good for it's purpose.

 

3 to me had way too many mini games in the missions.

[LilIelaps]

3 is my least favorite of the trilogy as well. The whole game was "Sly 2 but worse" in my opinion. Too many characters and gimmick missions and the whole game dragged. And the whole story felt like filler compared to what Sly 1 and 2 tried to do. It's still a good game, without a doubt, I'm replaying the trilogy collection on Vita currently and have every intention of doing 3 as well. But 1 and 2 were so much more interesting.
