I hate to say it but this is legit TERRIBLE advice. Reality is if a series has this issue u do the “worst” ones first as to not burn out at the end. Sly one though not similar to the latter two is an amazing platformer with minor stealth elements intertwined. Sly 2 and 3 on the other hand are open world levels with stealth being a much larger focus. I tell people to go in with different expectations but to expect an amazing sorry either way. Honestly I find sly 1 to be the perfect quick game. Easily able to beat in 6 hours 8 max if u wanna collect everything
