    I never played any game of the series before, so i cannot compare this one to original's. But i liked this one very much, game looks like movie that came out same year on big screen and plays really fun.

    Ratchet and Clank is a culmination of everything Insomniac has done with the series over the past 14 years. It takes the characters that we fell in love with long ago, and sets them off on their most gorgeous quest yet. The deep and rewarding weapon system, beautiful and varied worlds, and charming-as-heck story make it an adventure that anyone with a PlayStation 4 should strap in for.

    Buen Juego, con una jugabilidad bastante divertida y con bastantes posibilidades para el combate lo cual lo hace variado. La historia está interesante aunque bastante corta para mi gusto, y un poco simple, pecando con un poco de clichés. Pero bastante recomendado para pasar un buen rato y divertirse.

    A classic game from the Playstation 2 era, Ratchet and Clank clashes into our PS4 hard drive in a moment of need. To be fair, not many games had caught my interest on PS4 until this game released. After a few amazing days hours, I found myself preferring this title to the PS2 counterparts. It's not a easy feat, but Insomniac Games pulled it off.

    Here are a few cons:
    -: Graphics are really simple and it doesn't look like a 2016 game (we can feel it's inspired from a PS2 game). However, it's not necessarly a con for everyone
    - The final boss is quite frustrating and way harder than anything before him (in my opinion). I'm a average skill player and I had to try at least 15 times to finally beat him

    Overall, it is a pretty good game that I recommend ! I also found the campaign length is highly acceptable.    … Expand

    A refreshing burst of nostalgia from my childhood, with great production quality to boot. A fine reboot to the series, with the all fun and quirks you'd expect from a Ratchet and Clank game.

    Game-play is absolutely awesome, but the story doesn't hold up as well as most other games in the series. The characters are mostly bland, and there's very little bonding between Ratchet & Clank. Definitely hope the next game is better.

It doesn't last long, but crashing into a building and dying isn't all too fun. And, Insomniac, don't worry. My PS4 can handle more than one save! Then why can you only have one? Except for these gripes, I think this game is a solid Shooter which rewards the adventurous, and is great all around.… Expand

    I really wonder whether some of the (user) reviews are paid for. The graphics might be good but that's where it ends.

    Ratchet & Clank (2016) was very disappointing. I'm not saying I didn't like the game sure I did, it was fun to play. To bring it to newcomers, it re imagines the story of the first game that was released in 2002. Long term fans overall felt disappointed, the gameplay was good but story-wise, that's where it lacked.

    The Ratchet and Clank reboot is entirely entertaining and worth playing. While the story isn't quite as engaging, it still manages to bring back the spark of the originals as well as innovate enough that it holds up as its own game.

    and it's not just the difficulty itself, this boss fight especially, is just plain dishonest.

    This Ratchet and Clank is a reboot in the purest sense of the word, rather than a remastered version. And it is a very good reboot, indeed.

    Regarding gameplay, there is not much to say: it is addictive and easy to play, as all the games from the franchise. I played the original games on PS2 more than a decade ago, and I now feel that I used to enjoy them more than I do now. Still, I have enjoyed playing this one too, and I hope Insomniac keeps on developing new adventures for these two characters, probably the two most representative of the company.

    Some Ratchet and Clank have been shorter or even worse than others, but in general it is always a worth playing video game.    … Expand

    Es un reboot de la saga bastante bueno, con algunas alteraciones de la historia que hacen que sea nostalgico y nuevo al mismo tiempo para quienes disfrutamos de la obra original de PS2, tanto si eres nuevo en la saga como si no, lo podrás disfrutar.

    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.

    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]
