10 Best PlayStation Exclusive Franchises - Ranked

7. Sly Cooper

Playstation Franchises
Sucker Punch

Considering Sly Cooper was once considered to be long gone, it's pretty incredible to see him having returned in style over the last generation.

Although it was often considered the commercial underdog of the PlayStation 2 platformers, Sly Cooper was also consistently well received because of it's fantastic gameplay and brilliant characters. Sly Cooper: Band of Thieves stands out in particular because of how it managed to reinvent the gameplay of the first game and make it even more special.

Sucker Punch's evolution from the first Sly Cooper game to the last one is a sight to behold. You can truly see them actually get better and better with each game, in a way that's arguably more noticeable than in most other sequels.

Even without Sucker Punch's involvement, the latest Sly Cooper managed to have the best gameplay in the whole series. It just goes to show the true potential of the Sly Cooper franchise, which is hopefully something that Sony will realise if a fifth entry ever comes along.
