Honesty,since Sly 1 i don't think Sucker Punch has made a single bad game

TheGamingNewsGuy · Wednesday at 4:20 AM

While Naughty Dog and Insomniac have made more games,I would make an argument that Sucker Punch are just as consistent (and a little more so then compared to Insomaic).I honestly think that ever since Sly 1,all turned games that they have made have bene great with some all time greats such as Sly 2 and Infamous 2 but what do you think?

Xando · Wednesday at 4:22 AM

Second Son was kinda mid but i agree with the rest.

Euler · Wednesday at 4:23 AM

I thought Sly 3 was pretty bad. it was all "Sly and his shitty friends" when I just wanted to play as Sly for some neat platforming.

Strings · Wednesday at 4:25 AM

They've honestly never made a bad game. Even Rocket: Robot on Wheels is cool.

Adding the fact that Sucker Punch is a way smaller studio than Naughty Dog and Insomniac, I think that SP is a studio that should be held just as high or even higher than the two named.
And even adding Rocket: Robot on Wheels as their first game, they (SP) have not made a bad game ever!

1999	Rocket: Robot on Wheels	Nintendo 64
2002	Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus	PlayStation 2
2004	Sly 2: Band of Thieves
2005	Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves
2009	Infamous	PlayStation 3
2011	Infamous 2
Infamous: Festival of Blood
2014	Infamous Second Son	PlayStation 4
Infamous First Light
2020	Ghost of Tsushima	PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows
2021	Ghost of Tsushima: Legends
2025	Ghost of Yōtei	PlayStation 5

Only ones I haven't played are Rocket and Festival of Blood. I'd agree, think Second Son was slightly underrated for how much fun it was to mess around in the open world. I liked Sly 1 too, just hasn't aged as well.

Kingy · Wednesday at 4:31 AM

Are Second Son and First Light worth playing without the context of the PS3 games?

Jawbreaker · Wednesday at 4:32 AM

They've made mid, but not outright bad.

Only bad Sucker Punch I know of was a film by Zach Snyder

Second Son is a bit meh, but First Light is great. Don't need to have played the first two for them either.

Yep! Very fun games, no need to know anything about the previous ones.

They have a new character so yeah, there barely is any context of the PS3 games in them

Bede-x · Wednesday at 4:35 AM

I'm the other way around. I think they started out with their absolute best and most creative title in Rocket: Robot on Wheels and then got progressively worse ever since. Not that the games after couldn't be good, but it was never the same and I'd rather they weren't doing open world titles now.

StrappingYoungLance · Wednesday at 4:36 AM

I'd almost say they're underrated, they have a really great, consistent track record and while people do love a bunch of their games I don't feel like you really see the studio talked about that much. When Second Son is considered your worst game I think you must be doing something pretty damn right.

SnakeEater · Wednesday at 4:38 AM

I find Sly 2-3 pretty boring games

Bony Manifesto · Wednesday at 4:42 AM

I don't think I've ever actively disliked a Sucker Punch game, but I've never loved any of them either. I always think their latest game will be the one that hooks me, but it never quite does.

Bishop89 · Wednesday at 4:49 AM

No complaints from me.

They make really fun games.

I do miss infamous though.

GTOAkira · Wednesday at 4:50 AM

They made Infamous. That pretty much make them one of the best studio in my mind.

Nintendo · Wednesday at 4:51 AM

I agree. GoT is their weakest game by far but still not bad

Gavalanche · Wednesday at 4:52 AM

Second Son Wasn't great, but yeah it wasn't bad. I had fun, in a dumb entertaining sort of way.

Antoo · Wednesday at 4:54 AM

i've only played the first sly, but i was not a big fan. the game felt pretty directionless as you are constantly forced through a bunch of random mini games. you spend more time riding vehicles than platforming by the end.

cursed beef · Wednesday at 4:54 AM

not true, they made ghost of tsushima!

This is what needs to be remastered

Apollo · Wednesday at 5:18 AM

I haven't played Ghost of Tsushima yet. But every other game they've made is at least good. Take Second Son out of the list and every game they've made is at least excellent.

Sanctuary · Wednesday at 5:19 AM

They haven't made a bad game, and I still don't care for any of them after their Sly series. They sort of started something unique with Infamous (Prototype was out a few months after), but then just decided to remake the same game again and again.

Odinsmana · Wednesday at 5:26 AM

Second Son wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. Other than that their games have pretty much all been great.

Nah, it was pretty cool and a nice showcase of PS4 power. Enjoyed it quite a bit.

The Bear · Wednesday at 6:39 AM

They haven't made any bad games, but no amazing ones either. I like them quite a lot.

Second Son is probably their weakest effort, if only because the game felt more like a sterile PS4 tech demo rather than anything else.

Tortahegesztő · Wednesday at 6:45 AM

Infamous (at least the 1st one for sure) would be awesome even as an Xbox style boosted back compat title, since it runs with an uncapped framerate (or at least it can go up to 60 even on PS3 when there's not much on screen) and I guess a double buffered vsync.

Khanimus · Wednesday at 6:46 AM

I certainly don't think they've made a real bad game, but there are definitely some that just landed kinda flat for me.

LordHuffnPuff · Wednesday at 6:48 AM

I've just started the original inFamous for the first time and... I dunno. I bet this was awesome when it was new as a showcase of the console's power but have you played it recently?

Vic20 · Wednesday at 6:51 AM

A bad game will probably have something memorable about it, an average one just comes and go, which is where their games stand for me and i doubt that will change.

Tiny Chihuahueño · Wednesday at 6:52 AM

their games have great production values... but I can't say I have had a lot of fun with them. they've been doing this ubi style open world games for almost two decades now and I just find them very boring.

I played it during COVID through PS Now.

Hell I think other than the graphics it has aged better than I expected. I remember linking the game less when it released.

And 2 is an enormous step up.

Do you KILL the CIVILIANS and TAKE THEIR FOOD
or
Let the people HAVE FOOD
This choice will have consequences

This kind of thing had me rolling my eyes so hard they nearly popped out of my head. Coupled with like 300+ identical collectables, combat where you're nonstop getting shot at as you try and walk down the street but sightlines regularly block you from seeing where the enemies are... like it's not a bad game but it is so rough, and that's not even getting to the things that Zeke says.

Shan · Wednesday at 7:00 AM

I haven't played all of their titles but man, Rocket was their first title? Rocket is fantastic and often slept on, people who like collectathon should give it a shot.

i second that Rocket Robot on Wheel should be part of the win streak.

Sucker Punch is to PlayStation games what Naughty Dog is to PlayStation games

Was thinking the same. I think it was still good though, just felt short.

dreamlongdead · Wednesday at 7:25 AM

The same also applies to Sony Santa Monica, Polyphony, and Naughty Dog. Ghost of Tsushima is the game that finally has them hanging with the big boys.

SSM and Polyphony are basically IP factories, but it seems like SSM will have their first new IP in ages. I'm incredibly excited for it.

We all know that Naughty Dog is legendary at this point, so enough said about them.

Since Sly 1? Rocket Robot on Wheels that came before is one of the best N64 games.

Kresnik · Wednesday at 7:57 AM

I haven't played Rocket: Robot on Wheels, but I've enjoyed pretty much everything else they've made. Sly 2 could drag at points but I love 1 & 3, all four of the InFAMOUS games and Ghost.

Rosenkrantz · Wednesday at 8:16 AM

Not gonna say that it's bad, but Infamous series is consistently a 6/10 experience imo.

doops. · Wednesday at 8:18 AM

Big agree. Infamous 1 is by far my least favorite, but I'd say it's definitely at worst 'mid' and not bad by any stretch.

Stone Ocean · Wednesday at 8:19 AM

Second Son was offensively boring.

They aren't putting forward moral quandries to mull over, they are giving you opportunities to be nice or be an asshole and you get rewarded for both. Also I don't think you're supposed to walk down the street lol

Bjomesphat · Wednesday at 8:44 AM

Reading the title I thought it was going to say they haven't made a great game since Sly 1. And I would have agreed with that.

Fevaweva · Wednesday at 8:46 AM

But Sly 2 and 3 suck ass?.
