Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game doesn't do anything new or innovative, but instead, it combines familiar elements perfectly. This is a platformer/3rd person shooter, but the gameplay here is polished so much that I can't name a single flaw in it. Plus, the is one of the most beautiful games of all time, and there is no reason for this game to look so great. Do not just dismiss this as a movie tie-in game, a children's game, or a simple remaster. This is on of the best games on PS4 and it should be played by everyone who owns the system, young or old.

I have the movie but I never really played the game. So I had to try it out so far the gameplay is fun.

As a huge Ratchet & Clank fan I was thoroughly impressed with what they accomplished in this game. Reimagining of original story that felt fresh and just as entertaining as ever. Pixar like visuals that help capture the characters and world of R&C like never before. Voice acting and dialog all on par as well. It was amazing to see Ratchet & Clank reinvigorated in this new light. Writing this review makes me want to play more. Good day to you all.

Bought it purely out of nostalgia. This game delivers exactly what I remember.

Similar to the movie but slightly different story line.

I've been a fan of Ratchet and Clank since I played Size Matters on PSP in 2008. After playing through many of it's PS3 entries, the time has come for it to get it's own film, along with a remake of the original game for PS4. This game works on all levels. The presentation of the game is perfect, and its graphics look like a Pixar movie during gameplay. In fact, there are clips from the film in the game, and the actual game looks better than the movie! The gameplay is very well executed, It's a hybrid 3rd person shooter and platformer, and both are equally fun and satisfying. However, the gameplay loop is what really makes this game addictive. Using weapons levels them up, which unlocks more abilities for them. In addition, killing enemies get's you bolts and raritanium, which is used to purchase those upgrades. And on top of that, you can earn cards by killing enemies, and completing sets of those cards earn you special versions of weapons and increases the rate at which you earn bolts and raritanium. The humor is here as well, and it is just as great as ever, and still just as relatable. The trophies are fair, and I already have it's platinum. It switches the pace from the standard shooting to space battles, laser puzzles, Clank sections, and grind rail sections, which keeps everything fresh. I can not recommend this game enough. It is pure joy. Like a hug from a friend you haven't seen in awhile who smells like strawberries, but in video game form. If you enjoy happiness, then you should get this game.

If you play this game you will know what my title to this review is about. Ratchet and Clank have been around since the first Sony Playstation came out. It is one of Sony's franchises. The games are 1/2 platforming and 1/2 shooter. The weapons you get in the game range from a wrench to a gun that shoots a disco ball that makes all the enemies dance. The platforming is usually easy with some exploration too. The graphics look like a Pixar movie that you can play on your Playstation 4. It is one of the most fun games that Sony has made for their PS4 system. It is also affordable at the 20 dollars price. If you have a PS4 or just bought one and want a new game give this one a try... you might like it.

Ratchet and Clank is what every modern "remake" or "remaster" of a classic game should aspire to be. There are enough differences, in terms of story, characters, and locales to give this game its own identity, separate from the 2002 game it's based on, but there's also a degree of familiarity to it all that makes for a wonderful, almost surreal experience for longtime fans of the series. As someone who grew up with this series, and the aforementioned 2002 PlayStation 2 version of Ratchet and Clank, seeing familiar locations and characters rendered in full 1080p, with a level of detail that could rival some of Pixar's finest animation, is not only an amazing experience, but a testament to just how quickly technology advances in such a short period of time. Simply put: this is one of the most beautiful games currently available for the PlayStation 4. In terms of gameplay, for fans of the original series, Ratchet & Clank reminds us of why it was one of the best action platformers on the market for over a decade, and, for those new to the series, as with everything else in the game, it reinvents the formula of past games with an unparalleled level of precision that, initially, takes some getting used to, but, ultimately, proves particularly rewarding. There are several new gameplay mechanics added, as well, but, most notably, is the ability to level up, upgrade, and customize your weapons. Each weapon has its own skill tree that you can unlock through currency found in the game (in this universe, that takes the form of bolts and an alien mineral called raritanium), and it can be upgraded to fit your play style, with perks for improved accuracy and the ability to carry more ammunition, among others. It's yet another small, but noticeable change that serves to separate this game from its past-gen predecessor. There's a ton of stuff to do here, outside of the main story, as well. In addition to hidden "Gold Bolts" (a staple of this series; collecting these rewards you with bonus content including different costumes, filters for the game, concept art, and gameplay cheats), that provide you with a reason to revisit the game, should you beat it and want something else to do, there is also a new card collecting mechanic in the form of "holocards" that drop from defeated enemies or are hidden in secret locations. These cards allow you to further upgrade your weapons, should you collect them all, and, in one case, unlock the most powerful weapon in the game. Ratchet & Clank is a blast, and it's perfect for the whole family. For fans like myself, who've watched the original series grow into a franchise with a library of over 10 titles available under the brand, this is a perfect exercise in nostalgia, reminding you why you fell in love with the series, while portraying the original classic in a whole new light, and, for those who just think it looks like a great game, this is a perfect opportunity to jump in and start from the beginning. The humor, heart, and unique characters are what allowed this series to endure for as long as it has, and this game does not disappoint, allowing a new generation to enjoy this rousing tale of friendship and heroism in a galaxy far, far away.

This game, first of all, is drop-dead gorgeous. Pixar-animation quality visuals have finally hit video games, and it's amazing. Insomniac hits you with nostalgia with familiar, yet different levels from the original game. Gameplay is fantastic...classic Ratchet & Clank. And the weapons! Weapons are awesome as usual, signature R&C. The game's story is great, but I may need to see the movie, which is what it's based off of as well. It's also really funny! Parents, this is a MUST HAVE for kids, but please select the "casual" difficulty for the little ones, as this game can get a bit frustrating for them. Another Outstanding exclusive from Playstation, excellent job by Insomniac!

I've played every Ratchet & Clank game since 2002, and this re-imagining of the original on the PS4 is a true home run. Beautiful graphics, excellent controls, and smooth gameplay made this feel like a brand new game. Add in the fact that it was only $31.99 with my gamers club unlocked membership just made it even better. I can only hope that Insomniac will give this same makeover to "Going Commando" and "Up Your Arsenal" so we can relive the glory of those games as well. A must buy for any PS4 owner.

Ratchet and Clank is a solid platfomer game for playstation 4. Has a good story and good for families and all ages. There is a Ratchet and Clank game coming out soon for Playstation 5 so I wanted to play this before the Playstation 5 version comes out. The graphics are good and the story and cut scenes flow well like the original Ratchet and Clank on PS2 but with PS4 graphics and improvements. I got this game for $9.99 so it was a great deal.

Great game to just have fun and enjoy your day and it’s loads of fun

Super fun game. It's a remastered version of the first Ratchet and Clank. There is a lot more to the story compared to the original. The graphics are really good, and the controls are slightly different when cycling for weapons.

I got this game and this game is definitely a steal at 19.99 best looking platform tons of weapons classic game and is fun if you own a ps4 and don't own this game you missing out kinda wish they would of added some sort of online multiplayer but it's still a great game also wish they would of added more things for clank they shoulda just called this ratchet

Fun game kids had a great time and it was fun to show them a game I used to play a long time ago. Worked as expected and good price.

I've never played the previous Ratchet and Clank games but I've always been aware of them and I'd sometimes watch my sister play them. This game is based on the movie that released that's based on the remake of the game and does a splendid job of recreating the world with updated visuals. The game looks absolutely gorgeous as the graphics look straight out of a pixar movie and the gameplay is extremely fun. I've still yet to finish this game but the developers did a phenomenal job in recreating Ratchet and Clank and I'd really like to see them do the same with past entries. Its a great game I really recommend it to anyone.

I've always been a huge Ratchet and Clank fan, but the last few games had been a bit of a departure from the normal run-and-gun quirkiness of the earlier ones. Think of this as half reboot, half combination of the other games. Loosely based on the movie, it is absolutely stunning and Pixar-esque in its animation. A little bit short, but the price tag reflects that. This is a great game to play with your kids provided they are old enough because there isn't any blood or anything, but tons and tons of large explosions and alien killing. Nothing is more satisfying than annihilating an entire room of foes and to have thousand of bolts (currency in the game) flying toward Ratchet as you build up your arsenal of amazing guns only this series offers. Buy this game.

I'm not totally sure who Ratchet & Clank (2016) is for. Veterans to the series will find that it offers far less depth and replay-ability than previous entries in the series, which is a bit of a turnoff for those of us who recall with glee pouring hours and hours and hours into upgrading the massive catalog of weapons. On the other hand, if the game is meant to attract newcomers to the series who dont have nostalgia going for them, Ratchet and Clank seems to be slightly forgettable next to more complex modern games. It's a fun romp through old, classic Ratchet and Clank mechanics, and certainly worth the time you put into it. But I think there's a good reason this game is priced at $39. It's really not worth a full price new-game purchase Pros: Gorgeous game, nice sound design, some fun new weapons. Controls are as snappy and rewarding as ever. New Raritanium upgrade system is fun. Cons: Short game, direct translation of the story of Ratchet and Clank 1, but with the weird Hollywood tie ins. Some voice actors leave a lot to be desired. Limited weapon selection. No "Arena" area for pick-up-and-play battles.

This game has everything you could ask for in a R&C game. Aesthetically, this game blows A Crack in Time out of the water (and that game was a beauty on its own). The controls are familiar and responsive as ever; my little nephew who has never played the series quickly adapted within an hour. Good ol' golden bolts are back, along with a plethora of holocards to find for the collectible fans out there. The story is largely similar to the original R&C, only this time it is told through Captain Qwark's perspective. The charming characters and humor are all there. Tl;dr I cannot praise this game enough, if you're into 3rd person platformer with awesome weapons, get it!

Now we are getting what we all want on a console and that is one hit after another, multiple good games a month and tons of great content in the pipeline. Thought I would sneak in this blast from the past before Drake 4 came out. I was not disappointed. A full reboot of the original ps2 game that started it all they did a beautiful job remaking this game. The CGI is just about movie quality and I can barely even remember the original so it might as well be a new game. It amazes me how many time $ony has used this formula on R&C games for now 3 generations plus PSP/Vita and most of them are really good, lighthearted fun for kids or 'big' kids.
