Now I see they give 6.5/10 to Sly Cooper... biased... I hate this site.

Anyway the Rising resume of the PSLS's review.

Pros

+ Zandatsu is cool and satisfying.
+ There are a few badass action sequences.
+ The misery, I mean game, ends in five hours.

Cons

- Where do I begin?
- Awful parry system.
- Constantly obstructed camera and narrow rooms blocking view.
- Enemies are overly difficult, and circle out of vision.
- Bosses cannot be hit at times, adding to the ample frustration.
- Bosses, grunts, even supporting characters are bland and forgettable.
- Stealth and exploration are only partially done, and useless.
- Story? What story? Oh, that mess.
- VR Missions aren't worth playing. Offer no training opportunity.
- Upgrades have little effect.
- Did I mention how bad the parry and camera system are?
- This game should have remained cancelled.
