![]() ![]() Still an insanely fun game to play and it’s packed with nostalgia if you grew up on the PS2 as a kid.ġ. The controls are also frustratingly sluggish and Ratchet comes off as a bit of a jerk, which makes him less likable. The platforming is wonderful, but combat is pretty unremarkable in this release. While a lot of fans would say this was the best game in the series, I beg to differ. This PS2 title introduced us to everything we love about the franchise’s setting and gameplay, including rail grinding and the wacky weapons Ratchet’s arsenal is known for. ![]() Put those two in a buddy space-cop dynamic and you’ve got a recipe for success. This gave birth to the Lombax race, its prime specimen Ratchet, and his companion the sentient robot Clank. This simple concept allowed developers and designers to create to their heart’s content, no strings attached other than keeping with a very loose common tone. The original R&C was born from a simple idea: Aliens traveling from planet to planet collecting weapons and gadgets. Worth looking into if you’re a big fan of the series, but there are more fun games to play. Ratchet & Clank: Going Mobile (2005)Įver since I started writing about video games, I’ve been surprised to see just how many of the most influential franchises tried to enter the mobile gaming market back when “mobile” meant “flip phone”.Īnd of course, Ratchet & Clank did it too.ĭespite being pre-historic for the new generations, this game still managed to provide an entertaining experience thanks to a great variety of weapons, satisfying rail grinding, and some very good spritework. So here I’d like to rank and review every Ratchet & Clank game so we can all reminisce about the good times, and maybe I can help some newcomers get straight to the good stuff. Still, even such a successful series has had its ups and downs. The wacky adventures of the Lombax and his robotic friend have a charm that’s hard to ignore. But it brought many people into Sony’s fold back in the days of the PS2 and early PS3.Īnd it’s easy to see why, considering even the worst-rated games in the series are in the top percentile in sites such as Metacritic. This action-platformer/TPS may not be a selling point for any PlayStation product nowadays. Like Nintendo, Sony has made sure to nurture a series of platform-exclusive franchises to keep fans coming back.ĭeveloped by Insomniac Games, Ratchet & Clank is one of the few that have remained relevant in the hearts and minds of their audiences to this day. ![]()
