I started today my second playthrough of this, a Challenge Mode that would be similar to a New Game+ I don't use to replay games in those modes, but when I finished this game not so long ago, I wanted to keep playing, so I'll do it this time.

I love the original R&C game and I have played it dozens of times... But heck, they did it great with this reboot.

This game just confirmed what Spyro made me fear: for some reason I freaking suck at "sliding on rails" sections.

This game has what I before thought impossible: a skateboarding minigame that is actually Fun.

Muy buen juego, muy divertido y carismático. Las armas todas muy chulas y originales. Se echa en falta algún modo arena u horda para poner a prueba las armas al límite, pero genial.

Aww. Wish I'd kept the jetpack for future levels, playing around with it was awesome. Hope it comes back!

First time playing this series! Having a blast with this game, just absolute, addicting fun!! The story and characters are pretty silly - and I find neither of the main characters particularly captivating (though this seems to be more of an issue in this game specifically from what I've read) - but the gameplay is just amazing fun.

First time playing this series! Having a blast with this game, just absolute, addicting fun!! The story and characters are pretty silly - and I find neither of the main characters particularly captivating (though this seems to be more of an issue in this game specifically from what I've read) - but the gameplay is just amazing fun. The weapons are awesome, levelling them up is awesome, exploring the worlds for secrets is fun. This is just the kind of game I loved when I was a kid and just haven't been playing enough of.

Replaying this five years later, and I still really kind of hate the hoverboard racing. Easily the worst part of the game. I’m still only two trophies away from Platinum for this game because I couldn’t bother with the racing trophies back then, and I care to complete them even less now.

It's probably about time I replay this, especially since Insomniac patched it to run at 60fps on PS5. Good way to warm up for Rift Apart.

Whaaaaat?

Ratchet & Clank, free on PS4 and PS5, gets 60 fps update

I didn't think we'd see this one patched but I guess with the fact that it is part of both the Play at Home Initiative and the PS5 Instant Collection, not to mention a sequel just around the corner, this makes sense.

I don't need reasons to …

I don't need reasons to re-play Ratchet & Clank games, but I'll take this one.

My recent enjoyment of the Jak & Daxter and Sly Cooper series is making me think I should give this another try at some point.

My recent enjoyment of the Jak & Daxter and Sly Cooper series is making me think I should give this another try at some point.

What always trips me up is that I am just terrible at aiming and shooting. I will just die over and over at an embarrassingly early point. That's not really unique to this game, but I usually find a workaround... I get through Metroid Prime using motion controls and lock-on, Jak II by spamming the spinny move while shooting. Is there a similar strategy, option or cheese I've been missing that would help me play Ratchet & Clank as a platformer more than a shooter, or is that missing the whole point of this series?

This is my first Ratchet and Clank, and I actually ended up really liking it! I've heard this one is a bit simpler than others in the series, but I think it was a good entry point. I was going to platinum it, but decided against it as I felt I was gonna take one or two more after my initial play through to get the platinum. No thanks. I didn't love it that much.

Just got the platinum trophy for this fun little game. Never played any of the old games and felt like this was a great introduction into the series. Creative levels and gunplay. Was great to play when I needed a break from The Last of US Part II.
