I’m ngl it’s not even the best crash bandicoot game, although is is 100% a crash bandicoot game. Still a funny post though.
Sly 2 is probably my favorite video game in history though

I explained it in a reply to a different comment here. To put it simply, Sly 1 has almost the exact same gameplay loop as a Crash game.

Sly 1 and 4 have "in my opinion" the best classic platforming gameplay. Sly 2 has a solid mix of modes and a more "stealth" game feel, and 3 goes a bit overboard with mostly mini-game style missions.
So, no, not a hot take. Very common opinion among those of us who prefer the Sly 1 style where you can FEEL yourself getting better and getting through missions faster with practice.

i’d like to hear your thoughts on why.
i’ve replayed sly 1 a lot and i love it but it’s like an 8/10 for me.
the gameplay loop is very repetitive: walk into portal, get key, rinse and repeat until you have all the keys, then proceed to next area.
sly 2 on the other hand feels a lot more intentional with the world/level design. i also didn’t really care for any of the upgrades in sly 1 but they made the upgraded abilities/items in sly 2 more integrated with the gameplay.
the new features added to sly 2 just made the experience all encompassing and superior imo.
the gameplay loop is better/not repetitive
the story is better and ends more emotionally because of bentley and murray.
sly 2 turned sly 1’s linear point a to b platforming into a pseudo open world platformer.
the pickpocketing feature is too iconic for sly
klaww gang > clockwerk gang imo too. those bosses and level designs are something else.

You missed the joke. Op was joking that Sly 1 is the best Crash Bandicoot game, because Sly 1 is almost 1 for 1 a Crash game in its structure.

I've been saying this for years. Sly 1's structure is basically the same as a Crash game but with more diverse forms of platforming and light stealth.
