Played The Sly Collection on PS4 via PSNow.
This game was just ok. I love that there was more focus on stealth compared to the first game. But, there were so many repetative missions in each level. You're in a different location and interact with different characters. But, you're doing the same exact thing over and over. The music was great as always and I liked how the Clockwork story continued and the slight plot twist.
The bossfights were also very creative and were all very different from each other. You even play as Murray in one of the boss fights, which was a nice surprize.
The main thing that weighs this game down for me is how long it is. This game took me quite a while to beat as a casual playthrough. Add the length with how many repetative things you do and it turned into me powering through just to get it over with.
Overall it's a good game with good music, controls and bossfights. But, it can feel like the game just never ends sometimes.

I originally backed this game when it was on Kickstarter.
The story isn't really that important to the game. I wish they would give some of the bosses some lines or a reason to exist to give the game a bit more depth. The controls are great. You can run, jump, shoot and also dash in any direction. There's hidden bonus rooms to find and hidden collectibles to power up your weapon or health.
The boss fights themselves can be insanely easy or a bit more difficult. Sometimes after beating a more difficult boss, the next boss will be insanely easy and effortless. The level design is pretty straightforward and it's not hard to get lost. But, because of that there wasn't much incentive to really explore.
The biggest thing that bothered me about this game is the music itself. The actual songs are great. But, they gave the music WAY TOO MUCH BASS. I had the game turned down alot and the bass still gave me a small headache after listening to it for 3 hours straight. There's no way to only turn the bass down. The only option you have is in the main menu and that option is to turn all the sound down, including the sound effects. This means if you're in a level and want to turn the sound down through the game, you have to quit and go to the main menu to do it. There should be a way to do this while you're in a level.
I would still recommend this game to people because its still an enjoyable game. But, the music kindof made me irritated because of how bass heavy it was. I know I could've just turned the music off, but music and sound effects are a big part of experiencing a video game.

The first game in the series mostly focuses on platforming more than stealth. The platforming sections are where it shines the most because the controls are so loose and fun. I love how all of the characters, including the bosses, have personality.
One boss fight seems pretty unfair because it's a music rhythm boss fight and the music doesn't quite line up with the buttons. There are also racing sections and can be pretty difficult because of the controls.
Overall the game is really fun and I would play it again.
