Story
★★★★★
"Captivating"
Cel-shading with bold outlines, nocturnal noir moods and cartoon animation: Sly's universe is a light, dark-toned cartoon. The crisp silhouettes and stylised settings compose an immediate playful elegance. This visual identity, lively and refined, has lost none of its mischievous charm.
Gameplay
"Masterful"
A compilation of the raccoon's capers, it gathers in high definition adventures blending platforming, stealth and a grab bag of mini-games. Gliding, stealing and outwitting the guards' vigilance remains delightfully fluid. Handsomely restored, it offers an ideal dive into a series whose charm and handling have held up well.
Fun
"From the very first seconds"
The raccoon burglar's adventures gathered in high definition, blending platforming, stealth and ingenious heists in a stylish cartoon world. The joy of slipping through the shadows and outwitting traps stays intact from one episode to the next. Charming, clever and superbly remastered, an ideal compilation to (re)discover a trilogy as elegant as it is endearing.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Slipping into the shadows, chaining heists and acrobatics to plunder each stage blends platforming and stealth with a lightness that calls for the next mission. Collecting clues and unlocking new gadgets sustains the curiosity. The collection has aged on a few points, but the cartoon charm and the fluidity of the three adventures gladly hold you.
Difficulty
"Balanced"
Lifespan
"Massive"

Collector interest
The Japanese version of the remastered Sly Cooper compilation, gathering the PS2 raccoon-thief trilogy in high definition, less common than the Western editions. This release appeals to fans wanting the complete saga in local packaging. Its interest lies in this bundling and Japanese run rather than marked scarcity.
Is Sly Cooper Collection still worth playing in 2026?
