- The Ratchet & Clank games might have exceeded the number of entries than one might have predicted back in the day, but you can’t accuse them of being unoriginal. In fact, only a few other games evoke the same sense of platforming quality and quirky humor that this series is known for.
- Considered as the best adventure/action game on PS2 by the end of 2002, Ratchet & Clank offers a new breath to the plateforming gendra, as did Jak & Daxter in 2001.
Ratchet & Clank (2016) - PS4. So this is a game based on a movie that is based on the original 2002 game. It's 'I am my own grandpa' the game:). A 3D action platformer made by Insomniac games sees you play as Ratchet, a Furry cat like creature called a Lombax and Clank a small failed war robot.

Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. (SCEI)Ratchet & Clank is a platform/adventure game in a similar vein to the 3D versions of the Rayman, Sonic, Mario, or other games. It involves the two protagonists Ratchet, a furry alien creature, and Clank, a nerdy little robot, going on a quest to find Captain Qwark and ultimately to help save the galaxy. Ratchet & Clank includes many of the best features of previous similar games, but makes itself unique in a number of ways. Firstly each of the game's levels are huge sweeping vistas with extremely detailed buildings which are visible at all times (i.e. there is no distance fog). This means that a building on the horizon is not just a 'backdrop'; in all likelihood Ratchet will be exploring it in a few moments time. Secondly, the game includes a number of sub-games, such as a space fight sequence and a number of turret shoot-outs which are akin to Missile Command in the first person. The game has over twenty levels (planets) and includes as many real-time cut-scenes which tell the story. Also of note is that the story is non-linear, requiring the player to return to previous levels to complete objectives and to choose between multiple paths forward. There is also a respectable array of weapons, gadgets, and accessories to find or buy as the game progresses, which offer some unique gameplay features.

The first entry doesn't do anything particularly groundbreaking but it handles most of it's mechanics pretty well. A good arsenal of weaponry, decent platforming, and a simple but easy to follow story. However its clunky camera control and terrible checkpoint system tainted my experience a bit.
I completely missed the boat when it came to mascot platformers in the early 2000’s. I only owned a Gamecube and I never bought Mario Sunshine, instead spending all my time in 007 Nightfire and Custom Robo. So, I had no Crash, no Banjo, no Spyro, no Mario, no Jak, no Ratchet. My assumption going into Ratchet & Clank was that it gets recommended due to its nostalgia factor, given that it seemed like a fairly standard 3D platformer with an outdated sense of violent edginess. This just proves how idiotic assumptions and first impressions can be, because this game rips. Even with zero nostalgia for the series and the genre as a whole, Ratchet & Clank is incredibly charming. The writing is witty and concise, the worn-out mechanical aesthetic feels original even ~20 years later, the soundtrack is now one of my favorites, and the weapon selection is surprisingly interesting. It starts out pretty simply, but the difficulty hits a sweet spot halfway through where you start needing to have all your tools at the ready if you don’t want to get beat up ten times in a row. The last boss in particular was a perfect crescendo of difficulty and narrative stakes that I wasn’t expecting a mascot platformer could pull off. Don’t miss out on it, I’m definitely going to slowly work my way through the sequels until I get tired of it.

Overall I definitely enjoyed the game. I think it is best if you play it pretty close to itself so you remember mechanics and of course remember to fix as much of the inverted stuff as possible. The best part of this game IMO is the interactions between characters. If you are looking for a ~12-14 hour game from the PS2 era to enjoy your time with I would 100% recommend this game. I died 166 times in this game.

I'll have to replay this one sometime, I remember going into it being told it was the worst of the trilogy by far. There were a LOT of parts I hated and the gunplay's really rough, but i remember decently liking it otherwise.
