I recall that the lore within the series, the the oldest known member of the Cooper family was the personal Thief of a Pharaoh. Seeing as Sly is trapped in the past, specifically Egypt, It's possible that he is either the progenitor of his clan, or the teacher of that specific ancestor.

[@Manawolfman]

I found the twist a little annoying because of how the character in question is portrayed. Penelope comes off as very mean to the Cooper Gang, having almost nothing good to say about any of them despite what she went through with them. She used to have a crush on Sly and yet she now just hates him outright, and her motivation feels flimsy given how she's kind of living a dream with the man she loves, inventing time travel while sitting atop the biggest treasure hoard in history. A personal theory is that she has been hypnotized by Clockwork, something we know he has the power to do, and we know is still around since he can be seen the background of several levels. Penelope may have thought she could go back and stop him before he killed Sly's dad or the like, but ended up being defeated and turned into a villain herself. Without that, her heel turn just feels way too abrupt.

[@justinarney3050]

Agreed. while being one of the few things I really didn't like about the game Penelope betraying the cooper gang still stands out to me as being out of place after all these years; especially the change in morality. Also did they really have to change her character design to be more pretty. Like the whole thing when Penelope and Bentley first met was that they were disappointed how the other had lied on their online profile on how they looked with both of them being more average looking.

[@dongrubb2723]

As much as I agree that the betrayal felt a little off I do just got to point out in reality a lot of people's minds can change in an instant. Regardless of what people have been through with others. Yes it is completely out of character but it's not out of character to change ones mind. Yes she did have a crush on sly but later on in that very same game she started having feelings for Bentley. Mostly because he saved her life either or that was a very quick decision so even though she may have been through a lot with the Cooper gang the fact that she feels Sly's morals are holding Bentley back and that he can't be the potential genius billionaire that he could be is a very logical reason to change one's mind The thing she's not considering however is that if she were to go ahead and change the timeline her and Bentley would never meet. So my biggest question is how she was going to go ahead and remedy that fact.

I think they should leave Sly's dad as he is; a total enigma apart from he was an amazing thief and a good dad. If we got a name and a face and personality, I don't think it would be better than the mysterious and somehow charismatic character we imagine. In regards to going back in time to save his dad, or kill Clockwerk in the cradle or something, I'd assume the good old time travelling tampering prevention mechanics come into play: you can't stop people from dying, you can't go too close to your own past, the gang probably wouldn't kill, etc etc.

[@Joskilani]

As a MAJOR Sly Cooper fan, I love Thieves in Time in every aspect except for how the story and characters are, compared to the original trilogy. In the original 3, the game's writing was light-hearted but knew when to get serious, the characters cracked jokes with each other to show they were friends but when shit got real, they got serious too. It makes them feel more like real people (or anthro... whatever) and that's part of what I love about the games. 4 just kind of... doesn't do that. The characters are joking almost all the time, it's too much. Also, minor plothole that bothers me, but Sly's ancestors shouldn't know about all of Sly's moves. Like, Rioichi shouldn't know the rail walk or slide, since those moves were developed long after his time. That lack of attention to detail also hurts the game a bit in my opinion

[@shigerumiyamoto9612]

Imo it's an amazing sly game gameplay wise. They really understood what made sly great. Story wise however it was a complete mess. I really hate some of the twists and turns they made like Penelope and THAT FREAKIN ENDING just for the shock factor. I kinda wished they had dropped Sly's character and made something new cause I felt his story was finished with 3

[@KaimArgonarEyyyy]

The game is floaty as fuck and the map design is horrendous. Nowhere near as good as the original trilogy.

[@samwoodley1653]

Totally agree. The game is good but it's not a best and not what we were waiting for, but I think for the team that didn't even make the original 3 they did fine. For the ancestors somehow knowing moves they shouldn't, I think this is down purely to gameplay constraints. Yes the earlier ancestors wouldn't be as skilled in such a variety of moves, but that would make them less fun to play. They could have given them more moves unique to themselves, though I can't think of many that wouldn't be really weird. Bob being able to claw up walls is something totally unique to his... size, for example. Or we can assume Sly just taught them how to do all the moves.

[@jupiter5673]

Honestly I agree, Thieves in Time is actually a great game. The only reason I think people can't call it a good game is because the game is overhated, and I honestly think that it isn't fair. For example, Destruction AllStars is a amazing game, but people aren't giving it enough love to start its own franchise, and I think that isn't fair because DAS has a lot of potential to be the next Twisted Metal, or even a reboot to Twisted Metal, and Thieves in Time falls in that category.

[@tonts5329]

Hopefully we get a sequel someday that will tie up the loose threads in Sly 4. Especially ending up in Egypt, maybe the return to the present is going to have the timeline vastly altered, kind of like the endings to Chrono Trigger or the ending for The Day of the Tentacle.

[@geekasaurusrexy]

I love the Sly Cooper series and I was so hyped when this came out. I'll be honest, the art style change was a bit jarring, not in a bad way, just unexpected. But I hated what they did to my girl Penelope. She was my favorite and I related to her a lot. I can sort of connect her arc a little better now that I've really thought about it, but at the time I simply couldn't understand why they had her betray all the character growth she went through in 3.

Good review Jirard. While it's an enjoyable game, it's easily the most devisive game amoung the sly fandom. It has so much potential that could have been fulfilled, unfortunately they played it too safe than taking a risk and made some questionable choices for this game that people have issues with. The big elephant in the room is obviously Penelope's sudden heel turn. It is really abrupt and rubbed people the wrong way (myself included), especially after the events of third game. It was never hinted and was told rather very poorly why she went down this path. It's really out-of-character for her since she was truly nice and sweet to the crew, especially to Bentley. It's really mean spirited to poor Bentley as he does truly deserves the happy end after his trauma from the second game. It's really a gut punch that Bentley did not deserve. I just hope after finishing off with the expansion of ghost of tsushima, sucker punch return to the sly Cooper series. It's a return that will be most welcome.

Its the bad character writing in general (Murray being a walking fat joke, Carmelita getting back at Sly by hitting on his ancestors, Sly being a douche to Carmelita, the characters constantly cracking lame jokes, etc). Also, the sexist tone of Sly 4 was off putting. The new designs for Carmelita and Penelope were WAY over-sexualized. Penelope was quickly discarded via a lame plot twist where she abandons her life with Bentley to be LaParadox's lapdog. And there's an entire mini-game centered around Carmelita shaking her ass. The tone is too inappropriate for kids. But too immature for adults.

@@MsBrendalina Also the episode villains were just unlikeable. Remember how most of the villains in Sly 1-3 at least had backstories that helped you understand, why they turned out like that? Muggshot, who was bullied and wanted to get strong, so no one ever bullies him again? Dimitri, the misunderstood artist? Don Octavio, the unfortunate Opera tenor turned mafia don, because the mafia still liked opera? The original trilogy knew how to write both sympathetic villains like those mentioned and villains that felt great to take down, like Raleigh, the bored noble turned pirate, the Comtessa or General Tsao. Thieves in times villains are bland in comparison. El Hefe is just a private contractor, Toothpick is just a bank robber with a love for cowboy movies and bad temper, The Grizz is just some street thug who wanted to replicate the one time he got lucky and Miss Decible was basically just a spoiled child turned villain after a freaky accident. It is ok, but just feels like a major letdown.

I'm happy to see Jirard is as much of a Sly fan as I am even though he got into the series way later. 3 Complete its and 1 finish it is a damn good track record. Jirard's few criticisms of this game are super valid (I'm sorry you had that bug) though I'd add a couple of my own: the mind blowing light walk skill from the end of the 3rd game only appeared once and the bosses were all too easy with their checkpoints and the fact that the final boss was mainly QTEs and extremely generous ones at that.

This was my first Sly Cooper game. My dad got it for me for the holidays because at the time my only Vita game was Persona 4 Golden. While the gesture was appreciated, I had no interest in the game. However, eventually 30 days passed and it was too late to return the game. So I decided I might as well try it out. And... I had a blast. Yeah, I was missing out on a lot of lore from the previous games, but I don't think too much was lost. As such, I'm probably far more optimistic about this game than a portion of long-time fans. And tbh, finding out that this was done by completely different people made me more impressed with the effort they put into the game. It felt like they were actually trying to stay true to what Sucker Punch had done. The alternate scenario you provided regarding Penelope does sound very compelling though. It's an interesting idea to explore.

I recall one of the ancestors was Slytunkumpah (idk the true spelling), who helped build the Cooper Vault from Honor Among Thieves. Some say Sly going to Egypt was meant to create a stable time loop.

[@GamerSlyRatchet1]

Thank you! I didn't like the Penelope twist, but I think she could've been a more impressive final boss than Le Paradox was. She could've easily betrayed the skunk. Also, fun fact, but the Egypt tease was actually for a cut DLC level they never got to make. There's actually A LOT of cut content regarding this game, from voiced Dimitri appearances (and maybe even playable character) to a different version of the final level.

I thought I was the only one who liked sly cooper its so beatiful to see a fanbase I never knew existed yay

[@wafagdplqs4421]

I love this game so much ! I love Sly Cooper games so much !!!

[@master0fthearts894]

Sucker Punch is probably my favorite gaming Studio. From Cooper, to Infamous, to Bandicoot, to Tsushima, I’m pretty sure they’ve never had a bad game, which is a pretty rare thing to see.

[@Dhyfis]

It has been a real pleasure to see you journey through one of my favorite video game franchises and I'm glad you enjoyed the journey

[@FauxRetro]

Even though Thieves in Time is definitely weaker than the Sucker Punch games, it's still pretty dang good! For sure it has issues like Carmelita's lack of gameplay and the choices they made with Penelope, but it's still absolutely a fun time and I'm glad it exists!

[@LAZERZ-OP]

I really loved this game. I can't wait for the next game to come out eventually

[@northernrime]

Jirard, i've waited for this one for years. thank you

[@theeggen]

Nice to see Sly is still relevant. I've been waiting for Sly 5 for 8 years. Seems like a cliffhanger is the last we'll see of it :(

[@retrogamerfan123]

This game is one of by favorites of the sly games I love the western level it’s just fun to run around and blast some baddies

[@Resulli]

Personally I think the Coopers playing similarly is narratively sound. They all learned their techniques from, well, each other through the Thievius Raccoonus. Their legacies literally built on top of each other for centuries so it makes perfect sense that they would all play the same except for their own individual specialties. The prehistoric Cooper makes sense to be different as well because of not only the time period but also it was before the legacy really started establishing itself. That's a point I feel Jirard just applied too much expectation onto the game that wasn't necessarily realistic.

[@samwoodley1653]

They could have the same abilities but not ONLY those same abilities. If they were afraid they'd overtake Sly in usefulness, all they needed to do is give Sly all his gadgets. The ancestors could have had a bunch of unique moves that Sly could not do. He isn't massive, doesn't have a gun, isn't a trained ninja/chef, etc etc. You could do a lot in terms of giving them unique abilities relating not just to thievery, but to their own specific character.

[@michaelscaccia1454]

I appreciate you saying you’re not above finding a cartoon fox hot

[@slickkid2367]

They should make a sly cooper remake/ remaster collection like how they did with crash and Spyro, I know they’re different teams or creators but it’d still be SUPER cool

[@brendanrisney2449]

Honestly, I really enjoyed this game. My only gripes were that I wasn't a big fan of the character redesigns, Carmelita especially, and the Penelope plot. Other than that, I had great fun with it back when it came out.

[@SoloBoardGamingKnight]

I love board games and have been playing them for most of the year but if a new Sly were to come out, I would definitely play it in an instant! I can only dream.

[@ShigKirby]

I'm glad to see you actually enjoyed this entry. Sanzaru Games definitely had plenty to do to follow up on the original trilogy and I think they did a good job overall and I personally found the gameplay to be improved over 3 as it had plenty of extra characters with weirder gimmicks and less to find and collect in levels. While I understand having each ancestor feeling different or adopting the costume powers, I think that getting more Sly gameplay but with different mechanics to keep things fresh was fine to take up the majority of the gameplay. I think that a less experienced team making a full Sly game with 9 entirely different playable characters would have been unfeasible and some could have been hit or miss to play as rather than familiar but each having something new to stand out. I much prefer twists on Sly's gameplay as I think Sanzaru acknowledged that Sly segments were the best part to work off of to create new mechanics for the ancestors. It makes sense as Sly's learned his techniques from them and would work in a similar way so didn't feel I was missing out on something, rather there was more Sly gameplay with a twist. Like you said some of them worked in elements of Carmelita and Murray's gameplay as they already had that to work with when designing how to functionally make them unique but not having an entirely new gameplay style to design for a few missions. I do agree that giving a few actual missions for Carmelita, particularly in the final area or even a phase during the final boss with Sly would have given her third person shooting sections a bit more attention. Murray and Bentley are about right but there are minigames attached to them that do take focus away from the core gameplay. Most like the hacking games were fun but obviously more reasons to play as the characters and use the upgrades/unique abilities to sneak around would have been nice. Maybe there was too much variety but I think it was all mostly effective, maybe slightly more so than 3. The biggest gripes honestly were the final boss being nothing but QTEs but most gameplay segments were just as well designed and nicely paced as I would expect from the previous entries. I didn't feel the game was much shorter than 3 at least with the extra collectibles to find and variety on offer but perhaps there could have been a few more missions or making the final Paris level actually a full map to explore with a heist to set up with all the ancestors. Wanting more of what was on offer is a good problem to have. Story wise, I get that there's plenty more they could have done but there's only so much they could do within one game without getting out of hand. Without an item to go back to his dad and avoid directly messing with his own time period leading up to Sly taking over for him, teaming up with his dad might have been too conclusive of an arc and not feel as pressing to stopping the main gang who were directly overtaking ancestor's time periods and wiping away the lineage. Penelope's betrayal is a little out of the blue but if she wants Bentley to use his talents rather than helping his friends then it helps Bentley grow more having to overcome this with the help of the gang and have some personal stakes. It felt like she was always using her intellect to show off her own talents than aid her allies and actually care about them so while it was a tough twist to take, I felt more compelled to help out Bentley with his troubles especially after what he did to bail out the gang over the years. Two bright minds going against one another made more sense than Penelope being pushed to the side as Bentley 2. Maybe fans felt it wasn't earned to cut her off but she didn't really fit into the team and was already cunning enough to use her talent for nefarious means. Was she really going to be there to support the gang on the sidelines and gameplay wise wouldn't offer anything Bentley already was capable of. Nevermind the idea of her being a damsel to save not being her style. Going rouge fit IMO but everyone probably wanted the happy ending. I think the music, presentation and control is all very solid, with the same core voice cast and light hearted tone/writing with a few more serious moments, maybe leaning less on the serious side but still fine with the fact the team have to work around traveling through time and teaming up with the eccentric Sly ancestors to get the job done. Overall, I think people have fair criticism of what this game could have delivered more on or set itself more apart but as a new team, I think people were very harsh on them. I feel they delivered a new Sly game that captured the same feel of the originals but added some fun twists on new hardware that met what I wanted to see more of from the series during a time where little platformers were being made and like with other franchises could have easily not happened at all. Travelling to these distinct locations, playing as the famous thieves of old and rejoining the original gang just worked well for me and despite a few shortcomings, I'd say I like it more than 3 and feel they genuinely put a lot of time and care into it.
