    Ratchet & Clank is a fantastic game and a strong return of both the franchise and developer Insomniac, who have done an outstanding job. It doesn't concern itself with being a movie tie-in and, as such, it ends up being a true Ratchet & Clank game, one that any fan will have already played and an excellent introduction to make new fans.

    Both productions are concentrated on being genuine Ratchet & Clank experiences, preserving the pandemonium, dynamism, and humor (for better or worse) that earned this series its fanbase. In short, you’re getting a damn good game for your money, even if it is the official game of the official movie of the official game.

    This game is a remake that improves upon the original in every way. It doesn’t take itself very seriously and its focus is on crafting a solid platforming experience around the series’ tried-and-true formula really works. This game being a re-imagining of the first Ratchet and Clank makes it not only a great entry point for the series, but more importantly a truly great game.

    This reimagining of Ratchet & Clank is successful on every front. If you have kids that were just introduced to these characters thanks to the movie, this serves as one of the most effective movie tie-in games out there. If you’re a longtime fan of the series, this entry will bring back fond memories of the original while introducing new elements and featuring all of the solid visuals and controls you’d expect from an action game in 2016.

    Ratchet and Clank is a prime example of a genre of game we don’t get too often anymore. Top that off with the fact that it is immaculately constructed and this game is a must own for every PlayStation 4 owner. Insomniac Games continues to prove why their games are always highly anticipated, and I cannot wait to see what they do next.

    Ratchet & Clank

    Overall this is a decent Ratchet and Clank game that continues in a way typical for the serie. Combat is super fun, graphics decent even nowadays. The story is little bit blunt, but the gameplay makes it up. Variable locations and enemies, constellation of weapons and very cute main protagonist deserve solid 7/10. Playing Ratchet and Clank is extremely satisfying as you can destroy and disintegrate almost everything in a number of ways. Great successor for the serie. Time in the game: 16h Gameplay: 9/10 Story: 6/10 Graphics: 8/10

    Very good platformer. I never got super hyped, maybe because I didn't play it on PS2 so the "nostalgia factor" don't apply for me this time. Anyways, is fun and searching for the bolts and cards wasn't tedious. Some weapons are trash so I never used them, but is an interesting mechanic to have a lot at your disposal. A solid 8.

    Improved graphics and fun weaponry. A very nostalgia fueled game. Compared to the original, there are a lot less weapons. Story is a lot shorter than I remember but there are areas that you can explore after the end of the story. You can continue leveling up your weaponry before starting a new game+. In new game+ your weaponry can upgrade further into omega weapons which deal additional damage to enemies.
