    This sim is a quality and fun ratchet, graphics are perfect, gameplay is perfect up and the sound design is so good that I went crazy.
    This game simply has no downsides.

    This game is one of the best gun games for me. It is full of ideas. I enjoyed it and it has a rating of 9.2 out of 10 and I want to finish it again on a hard level.

    Best game of the franchise. It's better than Rift Apart, because the weapons are better designed, and the gunplay and gunfield feels pretty inmersive. The kinesthetic is perfect, and the enemies put a lot of pressure on you every time on the most difficult settings. There's a lot of variety of planets. It's like something between Ratchet and Clank 1 and Ratchet and Clank Up your Arsenal.

    It's so funny and I enjoyed playing this game. However, I would modify some things. I didn't like tha camera when Ratchet was flying with the jetpack, it's seems you couldn't manage. Despite this small problem, graphics and dubbing is perfect. In conclusion, it's a nice remake. GOOD JOB!!

    Muito bom o jogo, dinâmico, bons gráficos, sem loading. Também é um jogo de platina bem fácil e pouco trabalhosa, sem aquelas tarefas que você precisa ficar horas só pra pegar itens.

    I finally get to do a review after all these years. Just for context, I have never played a Ratchet and Clank Game, not on the PS2, or PS3, this was my first Ratchet and Clank game and I gotta say, just amazing, across the board.

    Recently I started playing the older games after this one which I played a few years ago, which immediately brings me to the music. I know this review is wonky, so I'll get to the point.

    I like this game it's a 10/10 in every aspect, graphics gameplay, character visuals, story, and even the music, but that's why I'm doing this. I did some very expert research and it turns out the PS2 soundtrack is better than the new one for this game, so I was gonna give this game 10 but some elements of the PS2 game, very small elements make this game Incomplete, and close to perfect.

    Oh and also on the performance side Ratchet and Clank did break my PS4 on 2 occasions, so I'll factor that in as well in the rating.

    9/10, a Superb game for any new or existing player to get into the Ratchet and Clank universe.

    This review is late and most probably won't help anyone, but it's just for History's sake, to Gratify Insomniac for their Efforts on games recently, and In the past.    … Expand

    As my first Ratchet and Clank title, I was consistently impressed and engaged by the colorful visuals, vast array of fun weapons, and scale of each planet with their collectibles and simple puzzles. This game maintains satisfying pacing without much filler while never overstaying its welcome.

This game maintains satisfying pacing without much filler while never overstaying its welcome. There are also few boss battles, yet what is here is of great quality, especially the final boss. But as far as the story, writing, and characters, I was also consistently let down by the lack of heart and inspired narrative content. A great time, just don't expect to be emotionally invested in any part of it.… Expand

    Good 3D action-platformer. Incredible visuals. Nice cartoonish style and cutscenes. Interesting fights. Challenging enough. And entertaining enough. I don’t know how Sony makes such graphics possible on past gen. Already bought rift apart to play on ps5.

    Ratchet and Clank exudes quality in every way - its voice acting, narrative, mechanics and overall levels of mechanical performance are all excellent. This makes the experience of playing through the game highly succinct - as mentioned before, it's a fantastic 40 hours, after which you set the game down and probably never touch it again.

    If you are looking for an excellent, succinct adventure, I cannot recommend Ratchet and Clank enough. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a game that encourages multiple playthroughs, however. It is an excellent re-imagining of the first game, and will likely satisfy most people who pick it up.    … Expand

    Fantastic video game! Super fun as exciting and, above all, fascinating.
    Kudos to the developers for hunting this pearl in an increasingly barren market. Well done!

    P.S. it works great

    The game was great to even pass it 3 times and acquired the platinum in the process. In addition, I liked the bosses, weapons, and the storyline. therefore, those playstation fans who have never played a ratchet and clank game before, really recommend this for a start.

    A remake of the first installment of Ratchet & Clank on PlayStation 2, it has new things than the original, I already finished it 2 times and I never get tired, honestly I never play the entire Ratchet & Clank series but I give it a chance to play the rest.

    Вполне себе добротная адвенчура, с широким ассортиментом оружия и возможностью его прокачать. Игра конечно очень детская, но на один раз сойдет.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very good example of a great action-adventure game.

    I really like adventure games in which you collect stuff, find hidden collectibles and buy upgrades. Combine this with some decent combat mechanics and some platforming and I am hooked up for hours. Ratchet and Clank is a game that does just that.

    I was always fan of the Ratchet and Clank series, so when this remaster for the PS4 came out, I immediately bought it.

    The story of the game is a little blend and cliché but not terrible. It gives clear directions on where to go next and you can backtrack and go on sideway paths whenever you like. The open world levels, that you can visit in every order you want, makes the game fun to play. You are not bound to a specific path and if you are like me, you complete all the side quests first and then continue with the main story.

    The graphics are fairly decent and a good upgrade from the original game. The framerate is good and keeps stable throughout the game, even with a lot of action on the screen.

    The sounds and music are quite nice and when playing in the background gives a calming feeling while you are exploring.

    The ton of collectible items like bolts, gold nuts and trading cards made me search every inch of the game. Combine this with some PlayStation trophies you can earn for collecting everything and there is nothing in the game that I haven’t seen or experienced.

    The upgrade mechanics are really cool and although Ratchet and Clank is not an RPG, it feels this way when you upgrade your weapons with specific upgrades that let you earn more bolts, cards or Raritanium.

    The combat mechanics and weapon selection are well done and switching to one of your other ridiculous weapons is made easy to understand. Combat feels fluent and fair, except for some homing attacks some enemies have, but this adds to the challenge. The weapons are all over the place like the “Groovitron” and the “Pixelator”. Ever want to see an enemy in 8 bits in a fully 3D environment or see a tank dance? In this game you can.

    The New Game + feature let’s you collect and upgrade everything you didn’t get around to the first time so you can complete the game anytime.

    There are some minor complaints from my end about the game like the unskippable cutscenes when interacting with some NPC’s and the Clank levels which I found really boring, but this is my personal experience.

    Overall, I really liked this game and would complete it again anytime. Definitely worthy for giving it a try.    … Expand

    Ratchet & Clank looks and plays as well as it ever has. Fans will enjoy the nostalgic journey through familiar planets, while newcomers will appreciate the chaotic and creative weaponry. But for the ninth game in a franchise that built its name on unique weapons, it’s a shame that the arsenal just coasts on fan-favorites. Insomniac played it safe.

    The only non-Nintendo 3D platformer to feel fresh in 2016, and the right way to remake. [June 2016, p.77]

    Insomniac Games did not just remake this classic platformer. They boldly bombarded it with ideas and then rebuilt it pixel by pixel using methods unknown 13 years ago. The result is magnificent. [06/2016, p.50]
