I really enjoyed the PS4 remake.

I really enjoyed the PS4 remake. I remember very little of the old games, I loved playing them when I was a kid, and I got a few little flashbacks while playing this (I wasn't sure if I ever played the first part specifically). I must say, the story of course isn't a masterpiece in itself, but delivered in a fun, family-friendly way; not too childish, adults can totally enjoy it.

I didn't think about it at all while playing, but I read after playing that Ratchet & Clank's relationship was dumbed-down in the remake, and I guess I have to agree, there's very little interaction going on between the two. But it didn't bother me at all while playing; what's fun is the very quick gameplay, moving from one world to another smoothly, so no planet ever feels boring since you won't spend too much time on it.

But the core of the fun are obviously the weapons. And rail-grinding.

Wanted to give this a whirl before I lose my PS+ membership for the year. It's as good as I thought it would be. I originally thought the combat was clunkier than it should have been but as I got used to it, it smoothed out for me.

Earned the platinum trophy after five playthroughs. I think it's finally time I moved to another game.

Wow, what a game, what an experience, it was fun from the very beginning up to the very end. I just wish it was a bit longer. Might go for the Challenge Mode.

I've played for an hour or so. Damn, isn't this game fun! Fun and varied gameplay mechanics, witty and at times hilarious lines, likable characters, plus perhaps the most cutest coolest stupidest bad-assest robot ever in a video game (yeah, I'm talking about Clank, what?) make this game a joy to play.

Well, Sony didn't disappoint. Not at all. It is definitely the best lineup yet. While Bloodborne might not be my cup of tea, it is indeed a highly valuable game to become free. And I'm eagerly waiting to play Ratchet & Clank.

Just before the final boss fight, I completed the RYNO holocards. Man, that weapon is a cheat! I've had a hard time battling the previous bosses (hard mode) but I managed to beat the final bosses easily with the RYNO weapon. Lol. But anyways, great fun game overall! Time to clear this one off my Playing shelf and progress on …

Encountered the Blargian Snagglebeast and boy that was such an intense battle (playing in hard mode btw). I must say, Groovitron saves the day!!! Nice moves tho. Haha

I thought Ratchet & Clank was for kids. It's really a PS4 exclusive title worth playing! Never thought I'd enjoy the game this much. :D Love the weapons and the upgrades and how acrobatic you can get battling the Blargs! Haha

With one standard run, one OmniWrench run and half of a challenge run down it is safe to say I am having a ball with Ratchet & Clank. It is a fantastic update of the original PS2 game. I mixes the nostalgia of the original game with a great many of the updates brought to the series over time. …

With one standard run, one OmniWrench run and half of a challenge run down it is safe to say I am having a ball with Ratchet & Clank. It is a fantastic update of the original PS2 game. I mixes the nostalgia of the original game with a great many of the updates brought to the series over time. Insomniac has done a lot of good here. I will save additional thoughts for my review once I am done this challenge run, but this is definitely a solid game (even if it has more in common with the last series entry Into the Nexus rather than something like A Crack in Time). A great deal of fun and well worth anyone's time.
