Christmas came a little early for all the mascot-loving PlayStation Plus subscribers, because this week’s update brought us three classic platformers. That’s right, fans of Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch have a lot to celebrate this month, as PlayStation 5 owners finally have access to Jak & Daxter, as well as both Sly 2: Band of Thieves and Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves. That’s genuinely exciting news, but are any of these games worth playing? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, GamePro, Edge and more classic magazines to see what the critics said back when these games first came out. Get ready for some cartoon shenanigans and double-jump your way into a new episode of PlayStation Plus Review Crew!
