Sly Cooper – Sly Cooper

You may be able to argue that Sly Cooper was quite popular in his time –but that’s exactly it, in his time.
Sly Cooper is a character that was beloved back in the PlayStation 2 era, but it seems as if he’s been completely forgotten about since then. I’m not just talking about being forgotten by his original developer, Sucker Punch Productions –which to be fair, they have been doing just fine without him *cough* Ghost of Tsushima *cough*– but also by the gaming community at large.
While you still hear plenty of love for other legendary 3D platformer protagonists from the era, such as Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Dexter, and Banjo & Kazooie, Sly doesn’t get brought up much at all now. Perhaps he needed a lovable partner to receive the praise he deserves?
Regardless, Sly is an underrated sassy racoon with an attitude and a solid moral compass.
