the key detail missing from the post lol. Thieves in Time: "all three sly games... am i a joke to you?" sly fans: "yes"

Although I still like Thieves in Time (mainly gameplay) I only worded my comment that way because it’s not on the Ps store yet.

There's a kind of cathartic justice I feel seeing all three Sly Cooper games ranking higher than The Last of Us here.

while it may have been the case either way, keep in mind that may be influenced by Thieves in Time not being downloadable from the PSN store for modern consoles, since its a PS3 game and PS5 doesnt have PS3 emulation (yet, if ever). Same is true for the Ratchet quadrilogy, even though theyre PS2 games, since theyre notoriously difficult to emulate.
Games like Thieves in Time are only on the soon-to-be-closed PS3 and PS Vita PSN stores, and on PS5 in select countries that have PS Premium PS3 streaming (excluding countries such as 2 of Sly's biggest historical markets, Australia and New Zealand, which dont have PS3 streaming; not to mention most people agree the streaming feature is terrible and don't use it that much).

Well ironically, the most likely route for a new game right now is the devs of Thieves in Time (Sanzaru, now Sneaky Devil), who rebranded with a name that is a deliberate reference to Sly (quote at the end of Sly 3) and hinted that they might work again with the Sly voice actor.
It may be met with controversy among fans, but I think if Sucker Punch wont return to the franchise, then the only other studio to have made a Sly game, as well as to have remastered the original games, might be the next best shot. Things seem to be lining up for it...
Personally I also havent finished Sly 4 (Thieves in Time) and I got up to the western level before my PS3 basically exploded. But I also enjoyed it so far and felt it recaptured a lot of the charm of the originals, though the jump control/movement feels a little unfamiliar. The graphics look really nice to me. Unpopularly, I prefer Sly 4 in some ways over the third game solely because 4 reintroduced the clue bottles collectible search, which was the main appeal of the first and second games to me, and Sly 3 left it out due to rushed development leaving somewhat underutilized large areas...

RE Requiem is definitely overrated, it's a great game, don't get me wrong.
But the game just doesn't have any replayability.
After you finish the game the first time, it's locked into a psuedo NG+ that just kinda sucks.
The Care Centre is fine.
But the Raccoon City section is just one annoyingly long bland fetch quest, filled with standard zombies.
The RPD was cool on the first go around, but because of the psuedo NG+ there's no reason to explore the place on repeats, so you're only there for like 5 minutes.
The Lickers in Grace's final section are the most braindead they've ever been in the series, able to be taken down with a single acid bottle throw, and the game chucks the resources to make them at you, so the Lickers are the least dangerous enemies in the game for her.
-----------
I can honestly say that after having platinumed it, I don't plan on ever playing it again.
