All 4 one seemed to sacrifice what could have been a far better single player experience into a rather average Co-op experience, riddled with simple puzzles and an unbalanced weapon arsenal. But not all is lost in transition, and the game still provides for an entertaining story and a somewhat long, but enjoyable co-op run.
Low key, I'm kind of sad about this game. I actually think the concept is super neat. It seems very similar to a castle crashers R&C game focused on online multiplayer (but can be played single player). You can even level up each character that you can play as.
But, the game is unfinished and very poorly optimized. Yes it runs sub 15fps at all times, but the game just doesn't work. I had a bug where pausing froze the game for 1-2 minutes before finally unfreezing and loading the pause menu. This caused the music to never start back up. This alone is not enough to make me abandon the game if the gameplay is fun.
However in the first level, I get to a grinding section where all environment models are not loaded, so I can not see where I am grinding which has caused me to die every time. I have restarted the game and level a few times, and this always happens. Unfortunately, I can not even see the whole game.

A fun multiplayer focused game that kinda gets dull if you're playing by yourself. Level design is very formulaic and kinda drags on with some levels not having enough save points. Checkpoints are surprisingly frequent so it's not too much of a pain to get through. It reminds me of old licensed games from 7th gen. The A.I. works most of the time but at certain points you will get frustrated buy how laughably bad the tracking is. Writing is surprisingly good for a Ratchet spinoff and honestly is up there with the humor of most of the future saga. Funny enough from what I've seen from Rift Apart, Nefarious's character arc has its roots from this game. Final boss slaps.
