William and Sly (and the Everloom) was a huge part of my childhood. It did something to me fundamentally. I played William and Sly 2 when I was like... 7? And beat it over and over, then played the rest of Paakh's games and even read his book (when I was... a bit too young for it. Stopped at a certain scene. It still was a very fun book for me, even though it's definitely a First Novel, and pretty confusing, it was great) Waited like 10 years for the new game! So excited to play it but I have to go back and beat all the other games again first. Looks like he's answered my child self's wishes of being able to go past the boundaries and just explore everything...
