✓ Same family of open-world action games: adventure storytelling, strong narrative focus and open world exploration

≠ Stands apart with third-person shooting, shooter and deep simulation, while skipping Metroidvania exploration

The one that established the template: a 3D open city with radio stations, missions on call and free roaming between them. Historically it matters enormously. It has aged the hardest of the era — no mission checkpoints, no map markers for much of it, a silent protagonist, and shooting that amounts to auto-aim and hoping.

Where it drifts furthest from William and Sly: tone and visuals.

It predates William and Sly by 23 years, with what that implies technically.

Tighter and more focused than the open worlds that followed it, with a compact city you learn by heart rather than by map marker. Driving carries most of the game. The shooting has aged badly — no proper cover, stiff aiming — and missions restart from the beginning, which turns a late failure into a long redo.
