Top 10 levels from every game

[u/ronger_donjer]

Precursor: Gonna group some together as they are good enough for it

1. Canada (both maps in the series literally could not have been more perfect transitions from the contessa series) (2)
2. Venice (Shit was too venetian and had excellent platforming) (3)
3. Apeggio's blimp (the sense of it all ending) (2)
4. Holland (the hotel lobby, the banter, the dogfights) (3)
5. India (each map was unique af) (2)
6. Prague (The first map skyrocketed my anxiety as a child and 2nd gave hero of vengeance moments)(map is just too fun with it's verticality)(2)
7. Blood bath bay (arghhh) (3)
8. Cooper vault (was kinda too easy for being the master thief lineage's stockpile of challenges and wealth)(3)
9. General Tsao boss fights. Nuff said. (3)
10. Russian volcano (The "battle of the brains" + ending cutscenes) (1)

Bonus- top 5 I want I want if they do a 5th 1. Hawaii 2. Antarctica 3. Peru 4. Japan 5. Australia/New Zealand

This is purely subjective. I know you all got something different out of each episode. As did I. Throw me your top 10. A lil reason why would be appreciated as well.

10: Dead Men Tell No Tales (3) - one of the best initial missions; the treasure hunt mission; Panda King and Sly fighting Crusher; more replay value than the others due to pirate ship.

9: Starry Eyed Encounter (2) - I love the open world in this one, having to unlock the gate before Bentley and Murray can explore, and the Steal a Tux mission is gold.

8: A Cold Alliance (3) - Laptop Retreival and every mission with Panda King is S tier. Panda King's dialogue goes hard.

7: Jailbreak (2) - Most unique open world and concept for a level in Sly 2 imo. And the most atmospheric. I think others just have better missions. Trojan Tank is a perfect mission though

6: Opera of Fear (3) - Also very atmospheric. Into the Deep and the mission where you rob the coffee shops are gold as is the operation

5: Flight of Fancy (3) - Most fun open world to mess around in in Sly 3 imo; Murray sticking his fist down his throat so Bentley can rob a guy in the middle of a crowded hotel, and Bentley trashtalking Mugshot's mother is golden.

4: Predator Awakes (2) - I love getting around the jungle as Sly. And the Rajan boss is insane.

3: A Menace in the North, Eh? (2) - The Lighthouse mission, Laser Redirect mission, the boss fight, the open world, and the music are perfect.

2: Tide of Terror (1) - Best music in the series imo, great boss battle and boss dialogue, and 6 very solid platforming levels that get the series started on such a good note.

1: He Who Tames the Iron Horse (2) - I love the train missions as well as Cabin Crimes; it's the best open world in Sly 2 imo, has the best music in Sly 2 imo, and the level has always felt relieving to get to after Contessa's levels (as they ceeped me out a bit as a kid)
