"Captivating"
Half heist, half comic book, the raccoon's adventure is dressed in cel-shading of clean outlines and hushed nocturnal moods. Each era visited wears its own palette, from neon to half-light. This elegant cartoon style, complicit with the stealth gameplay, keeps an irresistible visual character.

Fun
"From the very first seconds"
Slipping through the shadows, lifting a treasure under the guards' noses and chaining stealthy acrobatics: the fun springs from that cunning tension, halfway between a heist and a cartoon. Travelling through eras varies the settings and powers without ever tiring. Elegant, mischievous and fluid, a stealth platformer with intact charm.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.

Is Sly Cooper - Thieves in Time still worth playing in 2026?
A platform adventure from Sanzaru Games, Sly Cooper - Thieves in Time relaunches the burglar raccoon's adventures, travelling through eras to save his family heritage, blending stealth, platforming, minigames and a delightful cartoon humour. The polished art direction, the variety of playable characters and the inventive level design honour the series' spirit. The nomadic version stays faithful and pleasant, despite some technical compromises. For a fan of platform adventure or of the Sly saga, the title keeps a preserved charm, variety and humour.
