Three fantastic PlayStation 2 games have been revived for PlayStation 5, bringing a whole host of new features with them, and fans couldn’t be happier.
I include myself there as I adore the Sly Cooper series, and bothSly 2: Band of ThievesandSly 3: Honor Among Thieveshave been added to thePS5roster.
I don’t know how many times I need to write aboutSly Cooperbefore everyone plays them.
This is part of PlayStation’s recent attempts to rerelease older games for the most recent hardware, featuring trophies and remastered visuals.

A third game is also available, as I mentioned, and it’s another 3D platforming banger in the form ofJak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy.
“Thanks for the news bro, I’m downloadingSLY2/3right now,”said one PlayStation fanover on Reddit.
Another chimed in excitedly,saying, “Aw yea time to platSly 2and3for a third time. Those were my childhood.”
You can buy any of the three games, or they’re available as part ofPlayStation PlusPremium.

I’ve sung the praises of Sly Cooper so many times it’s ridiculous.
Those games weren’t as popular as other 3D platformers in the UK, yet they managed to become my favourites because of the characters and the stealthy heists.
Plus, even if you’ve played before, you’ll be unlocking new trophies according to this Redditorwho says, “The trophies are different from the previous release, two new sets of trophies (PS4 & PS5).”

This Reddit userknows what’s up, “I really liked Sly even though I am not a platformer guy.” You get a gold star today.
There’s not as much love on the old message board for Jak and Daxter, but that’s a proper gem too.
Gosh, the whole PS2 era of platformers just hit different. Maybe that’s whyAstro Botwas so good, it really evoked those feelings.
