About This Game

Sly 2: Band of Thieves is a remastered PlayStation 2 classic, a stealth-platformer built around the heist: each chapter has the raccoon thief Sly and his crew casing a target, gathering intel and executing a multi-part robbery, switching between characters with different skills to pull it off. It is crime as caper, charming, comic and bloodless, set in a hand-drawn cartoon world.

It remains the most fondly regarded entry in its series, an easy fit for younger players and a nostalgic one for older ones. The honest framing is expectation: this is playful theft, not the gritty underworld of the list's Mature picks, so anyone after realism should look elsewhere. Rated Everyone 10+ and available through PS Plus Premium's classics catalogue, it is the clear family choice here.
