Sucker Punch's writing team peaked in the PS2 era. Every attempt at crafting an engaging, relatable story since Sly 3 has fallen embarrassingly short. It's hilarious to me that their human-centric stories are passable at best, but the story of a raccoon, turtle, and pink hippo remains one of the most engaging sagas in all of gaming (Minus Sly 4, of course)

Sly 2 is fucking perfect, its story is an excellent follow-up to its predecessor and is interesting in a way very, VERY few games of its era were. The gameplay is more refined, the comic book art style is perfected, and the voice performances are all top-of-the-line. We didn't deserve this game, and the series didn't deserve the treatment it got after 3.
