Ratchet and Clank is the culmination of Insomniac's vast experience in the field of platformers. It's not just the best platformer on the PS4, it's one of the best games on the PS4 full-stop. A game of the year contender in my opinion.

But how can a movie let you control the action, experience the thrill of destroying wave after wave of minions or dance to the music of a disco ball appearing in the middle of a battlefield? Stick with the game and tell your own tales. Then go see the movie. Remember, every hero's origin story gets a reboot and refresh from time to time.

Ratchet & Clank is one of the best games on the PlayStation 4. It is filled with everything one can ask for in a great 3rd person action game that never takes itself too seriously.

The Ratchet and Clank remake hearkens back to a very different time. It wasn't even that long ago and yet, it was indeed very different. But I'm not going to focus on past vs.

It's easy to see why Insomniac is held in such high regard when it consistently delivers experiences as well polished and enjoyable as Ratchet & Clank. Everything, ranging from the gorgeous visuals to the excellent voice acting, the well-paced story, and the immaculate musical score, contribute to a timeless package well worth its surprisingly low entrance fee. Ratchet & Clank pays loving homage to its roots by enjoying the kind of lavish remix that only fourteen years of gaming evolution can bring to the table and, by doing so, has created a universe well worth saving.

All in all, Ratchet and Clank is a reboot done right. It captures the same feel of the original game but is bigger, more polished and offers more content.

In the world of popular entertainment, the ‘reboot/re-imaging/regurgitation’ of licenses is becoming something of an easy fix to an ailing franchise – with mixed results. Ratchet and Clank can consider itself a success on those terms; an invigorating fresh start and an excellent bedrock for the future of the series.

New Ratchet & Clank game is a perfect demonstration of what a modern action platformer should look like. Its developers modernized some outdated mechanics, dressed the game in an excellent audiovisual coat and created a title that every single fan of quality titles should own.

The Ratchet & Clank reboot is one of the best exclusive games I've bought so far. It was worth it for only $39.99 (Php. 1,895.00), it's pretty affordable for a remake on the PS4 unlike other exclusives which usually goes to a full-price of $59.99 (Php. 2,595.00). It offers a better reintroduction to the series for all newcomers. Aside from being almost similar to the old version, the fantastic improvement on its aesthetics, decent level design, great voice actors behind the game, smoother controls, and the cinematic feel makes this game worth adding to your Playstation 4 library without a doubt.

Ratchet & Clank is simply the best exclusive PlayStation has to offer. It’s graphics and charm are unmatched by any game I’ve played in the last couple of years. Insomniac has outdone themselves and brought back one of the most beloved PlayStation icons. This game is a masterpiece and a must play for all PS4 owners.

Ratchet & Clank für PS4 ist mit Abstand einer der gelungensten Reboots einer Spieleserie der letzten Jahre. Der Kern des Spiels bleibt zwar weiterhin erhalten mit seinen kleinen Schwächen, aber alles runderherum wurde gekonnt überarbeitet und mit Unmengen an zusätzlichen Inhalten und einer aktuellen Grafik erweitert. Gerade die neuen Cutscene's vermitteln einen das Gefühl, als würde man schon den Film direkt spielen können und keinen überarbeiteten PS2 Titel. Von uns gibt es eine klare Empfehlung an Fans der Serie und alle die es noch werden wollen.

While Insomniac Games have largely gone the safe route with the rebooted Ratchet and Clank, it's still a fun game that will appeal to both old and new fans alike. The visuals are gorgeous, the gameplay retains the tried and true formula of past entries, the story has been fleshed out and levels have been rebuilt from the ground up. It's a testament to the fine talent at Insomniac Games and is a love letter to the series as a whole.

From the moment you load up Ratchet and Clank you are smacked in the face with absolutely stunning and vibrant graphics. I instantly started smiling and continued to do so for that long I lost count of time. Ratchet and Clank follows on from the original story that we played through back in 2002, however this is not simply a remake/remaster, it's an entirely new experience regardless of if you have played the original or not. Made from the ground up to showcase the power of the PlayStation 4, Ratchet and Clank exceeded all of my expectations which were already set very high based on the trailers I had watched on the lead up to release day.
