It's a good game. A lot of people that are now more used to typical fast-action shooters are giving it one star. It's a different experience. It's a platformer hybrid that is really fun as long as you are aware of what you're playing. Graphics are beautiful and gameplay is smooth and classic to what you would expect from a Sly game. My advice? Play it with as little bias as possible. Enjoy it as what it's meant to be. If you're new to the series or don't remember it, play at least Sly 2 or Sly 3 first to see if this is the kind of game for you. This game is basically a more refined version of those games. Maybe the story can use a little work, but it's overall enjoyable.
