It fits right in with its predecessors, offering a rather lengthy campaign and a fair quantity of optional content that's fun to play, though not particularly challenging most of the time. While there may be an expectation that a series' arrival in a console generation outshine all that came before, Sanzaru has made a perfectly acceptable game that may not advance the genre, but feels comfortable with right where it is.
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.
I hope Sanzaru Games is proud of what they've accomplished with Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. What could have been a crippled imitation of former platforming glory is a faithful sequel that succeeds in bringing a beloved character to the high-def era. More importantly, Thieves in Time is a great deal of fun, and takes the series to bold (and unexpected) places. This new frontier isn't always a smooth ride, but you'll be glad you made the journey.
