There were a lot of things I enjoyed about the game, but some things I felt weren't as good. The areas were massive and they brought back bottles and treasure, which was awesome, but they didn't take advantage of it, the story line was good, but short and the areas it explored tended to be contained in small areas or in seperate maps all together, like inside shops or on running parts that you never see again.

Carmilita was also disappointing, I really don't like her new design and I feel they didn't do well with her character. Sure she's been captured before, but there's been 2 rescues in this one game, both from Toothpick and then from Le Paradox. And when we do see inside her head, she admits Sly backstabbed her, but then forgives most of it cause she "Lied to herself" Despite keeping her brash approach, she seems a lot like a typical damsel, her best time is literally fighting to save Galleth.

Also I find Sanzaru plug themselves too much. I've played 6 Suckerpunch games, other than their title in the opening I never saw their name tossed around the games, even if they did it, I never saw it. Sanzaru on the other hand, 3 times at least, it's the first unlockable to put their logo on the paraglider, it's on the wall in the prehistoric level and it's on the branding iron treasure.

Like I said, I did enjoy it, I liked the ancestors, and it was good, but it wasn't as good as the previous ones I think.
