Ratchet & Clank

I always thought these games were platformers but I guess they’re action-adventure third-person shooters wearing the skin of platformers??? Anyway once I got over that I liked it but there’s just so much I would change. It was also funny to see how some of my least favourite things were also things I didn’t like about Spider-Man. I guess Insomniac just aren’t my faves.

Really fun game with great visuals. I wasn't too familiar with the series before this game, but I went to see the movie, and then played the game. The game itself feels like a Pixar animated production. There's a lot of fun weapons and enemy types, fun humor, etc. Nothing major, but it's a fun game that I'll have fond memories of.

A marked improvement as a reboot, the definitive version to play now

Throw a cute lil sassy robot in your game and I'll trek through so much garbage

While being fun to play, this remake completely botches the memorable story and humour of the original and that's insulting to me, so f*** off, Ratchet and Clank two thousand and sixteen.

Ratchet & Clank (2016) is a pale imitation of a once great game franchise. It only exists as a tie-in for the movie which is even worse. The gameplay is fine; another very slight improvement over the Future series but it doesn't make any real strides. Exploration is now boring, the story is terrible, and the humor is bad. Whatever soul this series once had is now completely gone. I'm now thinking it should have ended with the PS2 like all the other great franchises of that era.
