    Space warriors, mad scientist, chosen one and saving the planet.

    I might have heard the name, but seems nothing familiar. So it is very much like my first encounter with these game characters. And this is really a good first film, I enjoyed, but did not like, because I'm not the target audience. I know, many grown-ups liked it, but they had reasons like they have known this for some    Space warriors, mad scientist, chosen one and saving the planet.

And this is really a good first film, I enjoyed, but did not like, because I'm not the target audience. I know, many grown-ups liked it, but they had reasons like they have known this for some time. One thing that fascinated me was the production quality. I can't believe, it was not those silly B class animation, it was very much comparable to Disney, Pixar and DreamWorks films. The only thing that did not favour it was the story. If they have got that part right, it would have been one of the best animations of the years.

    So the truth is I tempted to rate it higher for the quality of animation alone. The directors, and all artists must be praised for that. If I were a kid, it would have been my favourite. So what I'm saying it, this film will be loved by children. There's not child film critic, otherwise this film would have been appreciated better. The problem is the critics did not like it, and so the adults, but families with kids might have chance to enjoy it.

    Some of the big names in the voice-over artist list, but that did not help the film to see its success. There's no innovation in it, everything you see in the film was already exploited in other films. All those the space warriors thing, the chosen one, villain, mad scientist, betrayal, you have seen them from 'Star wars' to 'Guardian of the Galaxy'. That is another reason for not having a good time with it. It is still very much a watchable film.

    In fairness I only played this 5 years after release.
    Was expecting a game just for kids but turned out to be decent.
    Decent graphics & the guns are all fun to play around with.

    A fun and exciting return for Ratchet & Clank. Though it doesn't really offer anything too unique in the realm of 3D platformers, it does everything very well.

The story is very self away and is able to make jokes about it's self. You do the regular traveling from planet to planet completing objectives, those objectives do vary from missions focused around aspects of Ratchet's or Clank's ability's. Some levels feel very tight and restricted but once you unlock more items you quickly realize backtracking can lead to hidden places.

    If you love ratchet and clank then this is a must buy. Don't see this as a HD remake, the game is completely new re-imagine of the first Ratchet game. The game is absolutely stunning to look at, looks like a pixar movie.
    The are familiar planets and characters but they all have been tweaked for the better in my opinion. The planets have much more enemies and some

    Wow, I just can't get enough of this game. I mean, I know that it's almost the same as all the R&C games I played and loved on PS3. And I know it's a reboot, just some old-news-made-new, but it's still awesome in so many ways. The visuals are great. Audio is above average. Level design is top notch. Backtracking is fun. And last, but not least - the gameplay is pure destruction.

    I loved the game from beginning to end. The graphics are gorgeous and gameplay is very fluent. frame rate and frame pacing is very stable. the story is funny , pretty straight forward and predictable but great nonetheless The pricing of the game was also fantastic. This is one of those games that every ps4 owner should add to his game collection.

    La verdad es que en aquel entonces yo era fan de Jak & Daxter, empecé a jugar a esta saga porque siempre he sido muy plataformero. terminé por cogerle cariño y ahora con esta reedición asombrosa estoy disfrutando más incluso que antaño. Ver los efectos de las armas y los tornillos volar es una autentica delicia!

    I needed this game so bad, I haven't played a platform game this great since crash bandicoot 3. The way the game looks and feels is just out of this world. There are some puzzles in it, which i always love in games, and had some giggles with those whitty jokes. Every cent of this game was totally worth it. Thanks Insomniac and Sony. It's a pure masterpiece.

    This is the first complete game that I enjoyed on my PS4.

    And I have to say that it will be very difficult to get over this game.

    This game reached my standards on how a Plataformer/action game should be. Only other game gave me this lots of fun, and of course that game was Sunset Overdrive.

    Insomniac did this, they have my sac of money

There are so many different kinds that the game never feels boring, plus there is an extensive upgrade system that allows you to constantly be improving your favorite weapons. There are also lots of variety in the enemies and level design, as nothing is truly the same.

    There are puzzle sections with Clank that are brief but fun along with some secrets hidden around in the world that are a joy to find. The only bad thing about the gameplay is the hacking mini game, which is really boring but thankfully it isn't often.

    The game is also beautiful looking as well. There isn't much about the game that looks bad, it really is an amazing looking game. 60FPS would have been nice, but I never really noticed it being in 30fps.

    The only real downside is some of the story. It's simple which is fine, and some of the humor and characters work, but when the humor misses the mark it REALLY misses the mark. Some of it is the worst I have heard, partly because of the jokes but also because of the delivery. Despite that, Ratchet, Clank and the Captain are all cool characters that I can't wait to see more of.

    There is also a New Game + mode which allows you to further upgrade your weapons, upgrade Ratchet's health and allows you face some new enemies at a higher challenge.

    This is really a must have for any PS4 owner out there. It is a relatively cheap game and there isn't any DLC or Microtransactions. You would be hard pressed to not at least partially enjoy this game.    … Expand

Now the seriesSince the Playstation 2 era, Ratchet and Clank has been one of the strongest brands helping push Sony consoles. Developer Insomniac struck the perfect balance of adventure, action and charm. They maintained an incredible momentum in terms of critical and commercial success for years, though entropy wore away the appeal of the franchise late in the Playstation 3 lifecycle. Now the series returns to its roots in a reimagining of the very first title. Fans rightly expected a return to form, and they mostly got it.

    Ratchet and Clank is an exceptionally solid action and platforming game. A decade of iteration carries over into the camera controls, spacing and reliable character behaviors. Using Ratchet to carve a path of destruction through droves of enemies has never felt so seamless and comfortable. Likewise the level design is more far more accommodating to dynamic open combat than ever before, with smartly applied cover and vertical terrain. There is more opportunity to strategize and use your wits to plan ahead, which alleviates the long-time issue of feeling unfairly funneled into ambushes. The forethought that went into making every encounter feel balanced ensures this is the best moment-to-moment gameplay in a Ratchet and Clank game.

    Unfortunately, the narrative isn’t built on as strong of a foundation. The plot leans far too much on tropes from traditional adventure stories, while adding no unique exposition or character. For example, Ratchet in this rendition has no layers to his identity other than being an unstoppable engine of optimism. In contrast, the original Ratchet was actually quite smug. He could be sarcastic and even vindictive. Ratchet develops a good heart through the hero’s journey, but it was always tempered by interesting human flaws. This is why the new game feels so insubstantial in terms of storytelling, despite having countless beautifully crafted CG cutscenes.

    However, it is worth noting that the visual fidelity does benefit the overall product. Ratchet and Clank is one of the most attractive titles on Playstation 4. The asset detail is remarkable, regardless of its stylized appearance. Sophisticated lighting and reflections are implemented with painstaking precision, adding an unprecedented level of believability to the experience. Plus how the engine handles rendering so many enemies and explosions with minimal throttling is genuinely impressive. The only substantial criticisms to be lobbed at the technology is the annoyingly constant need for disguised loading and sub-optimal frame rate. Ratchet and Clank stays mostly locked at 30 frames per second, but can occasionally drop below 20 when scenes become absurdly busy. It is a shame Insomniac didn’t try for 60 frames per second, but is understandable given the sheer spectacle.

    Really there isn’t much to improve for the inevitable sequel. The writing certainly needs more depth, particularly to keep adults engaged. Similarly, the soundtrack should lean less on Hollywood bombast for its inspiration. Older Ratchet and Clanks had melodic and memorable tracks, some of which are still revered by the fanbase to this day. Insomniac simply needs to embrace more of the inherent weirdness of science fiction. Ratchet and Clank is a jewel to play and behold, yet it could stand to be a more substantial narrative experience like its predecessors.    … Expand

    I'd never played any of the original titles, so I can say that "nostalgia" factor is out of my opinion.

    This game surprised me. it has many of the aspects that most (if not all) the games in this genre have lost. It's been a while that I found an Adventure/Platform game so high in quality, immersing, diverse, funny and fast-based.

    The genre is revived with this one.

    The only real negative I can really think of is the boring chase instances when playing as Clank but I believe there are only two levels which have this feature so it really is not a big issue. Other than that I cannot fault the game in any way, it has to be one of the best, if not the best remake of an old school game. It really is like playing a PS2 game again, but modern, with smoother mechanics, a nice polish and reasonable collision.

    Ratchet and Clank is very well written, funny, and a whole lot of fun. I got it for free from Playstation Plus and was very happy with it. I'm sure it's cheap now too so if you missed the free giveaway it's worth the few bucks that it sells for. It's 10 hours well spent. So it's a little on the short side, but I loved every minute of it.

    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.

    Just a fun game to play. I had never played any games in the series and enjoyed this game throughout.

    Pros:
    - Plenty of weapons that were fun to use and experiment with
    - Clank's puzzles were well done
    - Enjoyable story and made me laugh some

    Cons:
    - While the weapons were cool the combat felt ancient
    - Some of the track racing and other unique parts could be frustrating

    Positives- this game is fun to play with all its crazy weapons and gadgets that you find and upgrade along you journey which has become one of my favorite things in this franchise. For the most part game-play is great throughout the game besides some of the very simple new levels and a few questionable changes to old worlds the game is pleasant sight to go through and explore.

    Negatives- The biggest problem this game suffers from is having to use the Movie's new plot which lacks tremendously compared to the original game. Old characters have changed completely and have lost all the charm they had original (and some characters are gone completely) . Ratchet and Clank for one barely talk to each-other in this version and most of their dialogue has turned very bland and boring conversations. Some worlds are missing or are combined in ways that just feels rushed for the story to just get done faster. There really isn't any character arcs at all in this game as Ratchet and Clank remain the same throughout and follow the normal hero tropes we all know about. The one exception is Captain Quark who does get some but at the cost of making his motivations not making since at all throughout this new story.

    Personal nitpicks- For some reason developers also decided not to use the original soundtrack or a remixed version of it and that is a huge missed opportunity. This also goes for not bringing updated versions of older weapons which would have been nice to have and upgrade which was something that couldn't be done in the original game.

    Overall while this game does not give justice to it source material it is pretty fun to go through and I hope it convince more people to play the original games.    … Expand

    A few words about gameplay - it is simple to imagine what to expect from games like this. Jumps, punches, shots, sort of puzzles - all simple and most common components. But in this game all this simplicity in the sum with world beaty give us such a great combo, that you just cannot not like the game.
    Another great part of game - cards and all other collectables. If you are a person who likes such thing, you will like the collecting of this game too.
    One of the craziest things also - weapon, its diversity and opportunity of leveling up. It made here better than a lot of other (more hardcore) games.

Can't they tell how blatantly obvious it is that a lot of cutscenes are just abruptly cut and your character is somewhere completely different?
    They took scenes from the movie and put them in the game to pad out the play time while also having to do less work themselves. The gameplay is so mindboggingly boring compared to the older ones, while also somehow making most weapons braindead to use. The platforming is basically non-existant and nothing feels like it has substance or meaning.
    The story is honestly an insult to even children, let alone the actual fans of the game, and they are such big hypocrites that they even go against the promise of the original game (marketing, brands and consumerism) by literally creating the most soulless, cashgrab movie tie-in of their own franchise as a video game and charging 60 bucks for it.

    This is the death of the series, and to be honest, it's for the better. I won't have to listen to that hollywood composer wannabe music anymore. They didn't even bother remaking or remastering music from the original game, they just created generic movie orchestra music for all the levels, new and old.

    Dank vieler frischer Einfälle, vor allem einigen neuen lustigen Waffentypen, wirkt das Remake des PS2 Klassiker eigentlich auch fast wie ein komplett neues Spiel. Selten spielt sich Action heute noch so eingängig und kurzweilig, vielleicht hat man entsprechende Titel aber auch nur nicht mehr wirklich auf dem Schirm, weil sich das Action Genre immer mehr Richtung Adventure und RPG verschoben hat. Ratchet & Clank verzichtet hier auf allen unnötigen Cross-Genre Ballast, sieht dabei spitze aus und macht kurzweilig einfach sehr viel Spaß. Allerdings, das muss man einfach ehrlich reflektieren, heute ist man natürlich anderes gewohnt. Der Titel ist schon nicht sehr lang und umfangreich, aber irgendwie ists dann auch gut, wenn man alle Spielgebiete einmal frei geballert hat. Einen wirklichen Wiederspielwert hat der Titel nicht. Letztlich wird einem dann doch zu wenig geboten um langfristiger wirklich motiviert zu bleiben.

Так что те кто помнят оригинал должны быть немало удивлены, ибо и в сюжетную часть, и в состав участников происходящего да и в геймплей разработчики внесли немало изменений. Мы определенно не из этих хранителей традиций будем, поэтому оценим игру 2016 года с чистого листа без каких либо отсылок. Итак, в Ratchet & Clank мы знакомимся с нашими двумя героями космических рэйнджеров — главных блюстителей порядка во вселенной. Мы с вами по сути наблюдаем практически за встречей Рэтчета и Кланка — несостоявшегося бракованного робота армии разрушения доктора Нефариуса, за не самым простым вступлением в ряды элитной космической полиции, за последующими первыми подвигами и многочисленными битвами с армиями бларгов — миньонов злодейских боссов этой части Алонзо Дрека и вышеупомянутого Доктора Нефариуса. По сюжетной части как бы сказать особо нечего итак более-менее всё понятно, немного наивно всё же и по-детски, но подача с легким юморком аля Автостопом по Галактике однозначно приятно порадовала. По исполнению всё сделано без каких-либо претензий — каждый мир по своем прекрасен, хоть и масштабы каждого из них невелики. Играть в Рэтчета сродни непосредственному участию в хорошем современном мультфильме от Pixar. По геймплею есть вопросы, хотя идею сочетания огромного количества пушек и ручного разводного ключа в принципе можно считать удачной - весело, задорно, реактивно. Первый неприятный нюанс заключается в том, что стрельба из большинства этих пушек ощущается совсем нездорово, определенно американцы с этим компонентом особо решили не заморачиваться — платформер же, упор был сделан в их многообразие и опять же шуточную по большей части их составляющую, будь-то Овцинатор — превращающий врагов в овец, Пикселизатор — отправляющий неугодных в 8-битную реальность, Мистер Зуркон — еще один маленький кровожадный помощник Рэтчета, состоящий в оружейном арсенале рэйнджера, постоянные комментарии которого обязательно заставят вас улыбаться. Перестрелки с врагами как бы-то ни было получаются динамичными и увлекательными хотя и несколько хаотичными. В остальном же механики движения, полета и прочих всевозможных рельсовых паркуров оставляют только положительные эмоции. Порадовало также разнообразие геймплейных составляющих в игре: за Ратчета — безбашенного фарширующего врагов бесчисленным количеством стреляющего чем попало оружия и бьющего больно разводным ключом по кумполу; за Кланка — решающего головоломки с помощью подручных мини-роботов; несколько миссий на боевом корабле — с отстрелом воздушных единиц вражеской космической флотилии.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I hate giving this game a 4/10 because I'm such a huge fan of the original Ratchet and Clank trilogy. I have played those 5-10 times each and I have beaten Deadlocked at least 3 times. I love this series.

    The game play is fun. The graphics are amazing. That's what gets this game to a 4/10. But why I cannot give it any better follows. It should have been a great game but the bad story, stupid weapon upgrading system, poor character rewrites, difficulty spikes for bosses that rely on that bad weapon system, and the RNG trading cards just ruin this game for me.

    It had so much potential but this game found a way to make the franchise worse in almost every way.

    Characters and Story:

    In the original Ratchet is a bad-ass who wants to leave his planet. He's not naive and doesn't care much for Qwark, but Clank's naivety draws the pair to Qwark who betrays them. At that point Ratchet is so bent on revenge that he lets some planets get destroyed by the Blarg without realizing that he is being selfish. His transformation comes from regret of his own actions.

    In this game Ratchet is some dumb, naive and starry-eyed lombax. All he wants is to be a Galactic Ranger. Fine. But when he joins the Rangers, he and Clank are clearly better, stronger and more powerful than all of them put together and he single-handedly saves the day. Cool. So why does he want to be a Ranger? They're essentially irrelevant to the plot except to tell Ratchet where to go next.

    When he's betrayed by Qwark in this one, he quits the Rangers and feels sorry for himself. It doesn't make any sense that he blames himself for losing a planet to the Blarg when Qwark clearly betrays him.

    Lastly, Drek has a planet-destroying device and Ratchet isn't "Ranger" enough to stop them so he quits even though he knows the consequences of quitting is that the Rangers cannot succeed without him? He only goes back to it after he finds out more planets are being destroyed... but he already knew the stakes. Why would a reminder make him go back? Why quit? Terrible.

    The Drek and Nefarious re-writes are bizarre. First of all, the game doesn't need two villains. One evil guy with the ability to blow up planets and terrorize other planets. Nefarious should simply not be in the game. You get no background on him at all aside from he wants to blow up all the planets... but Drek was going to do that anyway. Drek... he's still evil, but in a stupid way now. He is duped by Nefarious - that twist makes no sense.

    Lastly, the plot of the originals had Ratchet pick up breadcrumbs from each planet he visited as he solved the puzzle of Drek's master-plan. Here, you don't even know why you go to any planets because the Rangers seem to always know where Drek is going next regardless of Ratchet's actions. Why not just go to Drek's base originally?

    Missing Planets - a minor point, but there are only like 12 planets, missing are: Eudora, Umbris, Drek's Fleet, Gemlik Base, Oltanis, and Veldin II. The game feels weirdly short for it.

    Novalis, the second planet you visit, is blown up halfway through the game, which is a bizarre choice considering there is Gold Bolt on it and now I have to play through AGAIN to go get it. Why not just have Drek blow up some other planet?

    Weapons are fine - but not that exciting - and the upgrade system is nonsensical.

    The weapon upgrades just seem really grindy for no reason. Level up weapons by using them - great idea! Why then do you need to grind for raritanium to upgrade them too? There is no reason to have both systems. The raritanium economy is so tightly tuned that you will NEVER upgrade them all fully in one playthrough.

    The real sin of this system is that you have to pick which weapons to upgrade and it's not obvious which ones you should favour at first. Essentially the only weapons you need to focus on are the ones you need for bosses or big enemies. Little enemies fall to anything, but the real gate-keepers in this game are the bosses.

    Let me make it easy for you, the following weapons are great and need to be upgraded to even survive the boss fights or the big enemy encounters:

    1) Groovitron
    2) Warmonger
    3) Buzz Blades and
    4) Mr. Zyrkon
    and then to a lesser extent
    5) Predator Launcher
    6) Pixelizer and
    7) Proton Bomb.

    These are musts to finish the game. The rest of the weapons are simply not useful.

    Trading cards... ugh. These RNG-based bonuses make no sense. The RYNO is gated behind them. Why? Making the RYNO cost 150,000 (or later 1,000,000) at least meant that it was the reward for a couple of playthroughs of the game. Here it's luck-based and I don't want to grind for it. Which is a cardinal sin in a Ratchet game

    Music: the original had such good music. Here, there is not a single memorable track.    … Expand

    Мне эта игра больше понравилось в плане геймплея, нежели в плане сюжета. Сюжет довольно детский, что впринципе очевидно, смотря на возрастной рейтинг этой игры, но геймплей просто восхитителен! Вокруг тебя всё взрывается, рушится, ломается. - этоочень круто смотрится! Так же порадовал большой арсенал оружия, все пушки разные и имеют свои свойстваМне эта игра больше понравилось в плане геймплея, нежели в плане сюжета.

    Why make the game so difficult? The final boss is generally impassable. 0 out of 10

    This game has good graphic and lots of fun. Although the game may be a bit short in playing hours, the content is pretty good.

    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]
