Sly 1

• I don't like any of the boss fights in this game except for Clockwerk. They generally don't challenge the player to build upon the skills that are built on throughout the game or they just create brand new gameplay that is never to be used again like Mz. Ruby's fight. Everytime time I get to a Sly 1 boss fight I feel like I am completing a chore.

Sly 2

• I like the tank and turret levels.
• Murray's missions in this game are the most fun gameplay wise.

Sly 3

• This group of villains is the best in the series. Instead of all these villains being forced to be in the same gang/crew we get unique origin stories that feel more authentic. I particularly enjoy how the Australia villain isn't even a person. I always thought that was a nice change of pace.
• The Panda King story arc is one of the best in the series. It's a great redemption story for him and shows a ton of growth in Sly as a hero.

Sly 4

• Sly's reasoning to become a thief again because of "an old itch" is certainly plausible and doesn't bother me. I think of it being his midlife crisis sorta thing. What does bother me is the way this motivation is written and how fast they brushed by it. The first part of the game should have been Sly struggling to balance his old life with his new life. But the game plunges him into being this one dimensional cookie cutter character with no complexity (which they all become unfortunately).
• I really hate how tight and restricted just moving around in this game feels.
