A returning player after 11 years I played it again. I didn't remembering much from my first playthrough with the exception of the finale but I had positive feelings I like the game then but I loved it today. Its far from perfect Insomniac Museum has some interesting ideas and the cut content make the game far from the perfect game but still to this day is my favorite game in the series. All the PS2 era until 2011 the team released year after year top quality games. Crack in Time was made and gone gold in 9 months and that is impressive the developers really gave there 100% to make this title after years and years of crunch. This game was the turning point Insomniac really learn their lesson after that and sincerely I think the managed to earn the tile of the Best Playstation Studio after so much. I don't support crunch and it's sad that one of my favorite game franchises has so much unfortunately so far is a necessary evil in the industry I hope in the future all the developers stop that. Crack in Time Up your Arsenal and Rift Apart are the best Ratchet and Clank games and I can't tell which one is the best each one is the best game of the each era.

Story wise, it's really the most touching one in the series. Putting the relation of the duo in the center of the story was clearly a good choice because it made it feel really emotionnal and I for the first time in the serie I felt moved during some of the cutscenes.

But I have a major complain about the game and it is making it half of the playtime in the ship. I'm the kind of player that HATES spaceship and plane missions in videogames because they almost all the time kill the pacing of the game and ACiT is no exception. I think the game would have benefited a LOT of being more story focused than trying to fill in playtime with terrible spaceship gameplay. For the rest, it's juste like TOD so it's really good and they finally made Clank gameplay interesting and enjoyable after all those terrible moments in the previous games.
