    The entire adventure is breezy, innocent fun that will prove nostalgic for fans of tight late nineties/early aughts platforming. Large worlds, multiple playable characters and an abundance of mini games and collectibles add up to a worthy entry in the genre, but considering its low price point and near-seamless Cross-Buy functionality, it’s a must-own for anybody who owns both consoles and has the good taste to once again enjoy a delightful, pulpy romp with the world’s most endearing raccoon.

    Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is a decent adventure with some memorable moments, but it’s hampered by repetition and a lack of desire to build upon the foundations of previous entries in the franchise. There’s still enough animal magic to make this platformer worth playing, but it’s more of a petty thief than a notorious armed robber.

    Not as good as previous games in the series, but enjoyable nonetheless. Early on Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time throws so much at you that you can't help but be excited at what's to come from its middle and end sections. Unfortunately, that early diversity falls away around the mid-point and things start to become much more predictable. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is a good effort and one worth picking up from a bargain bin, but a full price purchase is asking a lot.

    Gameplay, meanwhile, is a solid mix of stealth-based missions, exploration and beat-em-up segments with bosses to conquer. There's little to advance the genre (everything comes down to pattern memorization), but we doubt longtime Sly fanatics will mind. Of course, having one foot in the PS2 era has its drawbacks, namely the aforementioned loading and camera troubles. For the most part, though, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is a welcome throwback.

    The real kicker here, in my mind, is the low price tag. Hitting your wallet at a mere $40, please excuse the obvious pun here, you are quite literally getting a steal of a deal. If this is what Sanzaru Games can offer up on its first true attempt at the world of Sly Cooper I certainly look forward to them attempting it again.

    It might have trouble holding a steady pace across the whole game, but Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is an enjoyable platformer with many differing styles of gameplay to keep things interesting. Plus, the sheer amount of collectibles and treasures to hunt down will make it hard for any completionist to put the game down for long. If you're looking for a game that's more relaxed and doesn't take itself too seriously, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is a good choice.
