    Просто качественный ремейк. Местами даже сложный. Если не играли, тогда геймпад в руки и вперёд!

    Combat is boring, the music is excruciating and above all, the characters are just obnoxious. The only praise I can give is that it is well produced. A very well produced Pixar turd made for children.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Combat is fun, but characters aren't as interesting as they were in the original. In the 2002 game, Ratchet was a tough guy who shot first and asked questions later in contrast to Clank. Now he's a dorky fanboy who's nice to everyone, like Clank.

    Ratchet and Clank's relationship also takes a hit, with them instantly becoming friends with no visible growth of their relationship. In the original, the two start out as allies out of convenience, and even start to dislike each other briefly in the middle of the game, but eventually Ratchet and Clank become friends. In this game, Ratchet is calling Clank 'Pal' by the third level.

    Also the scenes where the duo talk to other characters just seem stiff and bland.

    An okay game, but not the best Ratchet and Clank game,.    … Expand

    There’s a lot of firsts on my profile here, this game being no different. I never got the chance to play a Ratchet & Clank game before this remake, and for being the first dive into a well established franchise I must say I’m really happy I got into it!

I never got the chance to play a Ratchet & Clank game before this remake, and for being the first dive into a well established franchise I must say I’m really happy I got into it! It’s definitely not perfect by any means, if anything it started out at a solid 9 towards the beginning and slowly lost me more as it went on. What I didn’t like, the story is the most obvious & glaring fault here. It’s not bad, it’s just.. kinda there. Things happen and you move on in record time, it honestly felt like the game has ADHD, and not able to focus on one thing for too long. That sounds mean but I could probably compare the pace of this game to something like the Rise of Skywalker, just extremely fast without taking a second to really breathe even in the “slower” moments. It just doesn’t give you a lot of time to marinate on anything that happens & it feels more like a tie-in game for the movie at times, I saw the movie a while back & I’ve completely forgotten it by now so I’m not 100% on that accusation. Also, the final level of this game introduces some annoying mechanics that weren’t present in the rest of the game up until that point & it grinded the pacing & my enjoyment to a screeching halt. Everything else is really good though! The visuals are stunning to this day, especially with the new PS5 performance update, it never slowed down on me once no matter how many bolts were on screen. The gameplay is so fun too, there’s so many weapons to play with and swapping between them on the fly to decimate big groups of enemies was always a joy, even if the sensitive control scheme made me misclick more than a few times in the heat of battle. The moment to moment gameplay made me feel strangely nostalgic too, like I said I have 0 experience with this franchise so I’m not sure how the geniuses at Insomniac managed that but they did a great job! I miss simple games like these. The humor is also pretty good too, nothing drop dead hilarious, but it doesn’t take itself too seriously and I always enjoy games like that. Played this right before Rift Apart comes out so I have super high hopes for it now! I can’t wait to see where Insomniac takes Ratchet & Clank next.… Expand

    Ratchet & Clank (2016) is a reimagining of Ratchet and Clank (2002) that removes much of the crass humour and content of the original to make way for polish and more family friendly gags.

    Although this game guts much of what there is to love about the original some choice new additions and the strong bones of this series prevent this title from becoming unpleasant.

    Ratch and clank is a remake of the game released in the ps2 era. This game is really fun. Since the ammo of the weapons is always low, it prevents you from getting bored by constantly playing with different weapons (just like in doom). Platform items are a bit short. The graphics are excellent and the story is simple.

    A short little game that I would recommend to everyone who wants about 10 hours of shooting fun. There are a lot of different and creative weapons that fit in every play style. However, there are a few critics: 1. There are a few puzzles that you need to solve to get further in the game. They are skippable, but you don't get any puzzle related trophies when you do that.

I beat him after a few tries, but I had to switch to easy difficulty.… Expand

    One of the worst Ratchet games. The only thing it did better than the first game that it did a remake on was the ability to level up weapons, sraffing and a few other tings. The fact that it was a remake only hold it back. They should have done a all new game insted.

    This game is genuinely pretty garbage if you look past the gunplay, which is unsurprisingly very solid. The story is infinitely worse than any other game in the franchise and the cutscenes are just cut and pasted from the film. The conversations between the two leads and the NPC's are so stilted and poorly animated it is almost unwatchable. Really disappointing overall.

    Another thing I dislike with new Ratchet and clank games is it doesn't count your completion count anymore. On Ps2 every time you completed the game it would add it to your completion count. Everything I didn't like with this game thou (Bar the completion count) has been improved upon in the new Rift apart game which I also highly recommend you should check out!    … Expand

    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.

    Giocato sei volte per il platino, eppure continua a divertire, un breve gioco action con molti elementi platformici mescolati bene tra loro, unico difetto forse u level design non proprio geniale ma dal lato estetico si tratta di una perla, pensando anche che ormai è datato 2016

    I'm not always a fan of the self-aware meta style of a lot of animated movies these days (which this game series clearly channels in its performances and designs), but this game looked and played great. Don't even like 3D platformer/shooters so much, but I had a good time with this one.

    I played Ratchet & Clank on a PS4 slim in 2021.
    The graphics is polished and the game runs smoothly.
    I'm an adult man and wasn't sure I would like a "childish" game but wow, R&C is so fun! The levels are simple but well designed, the enemies are okay, the difficulty level is well-balanced, but what makes this game great and fun are the weapons. The story is okay too, although not so    I played Ratchet & Clank on a PS4 slim in 2021.

    In the whole it's a really fun game, I would recommend it to young and non-young gamers too.

    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]
