In a sea of positive reviews, I feel like I should be brutally honest and say that this game really isn't as good as people make it out to be. Now there are a number of factors that play into this, I will say that on a technical level this is one of the most impressive games I've played this year. That's kinda where the positives end though. This game roughly has the same issues the 2016 reboot had, soulless writing, a predictable plot, and overall a pretty unmemorable experience. The gameplay is... fine, there's nothing inherently wrong with it. If you were to put this game and Ratchet and Clank on PS2 in a room, I'd easily pick the PS2 game. While it isn't as technical as Rift Apart I would still pick it over because the gameplay means something and the plot and characters are enjoyable. I feel like in this game no one ever shuts up and there's constant yelling and screaming to the point where I'm annoyed. The music is very forgettable too I don't remember any tracks at all with this game, they all felt like they fit in with their area too well that it doesn't hold a candle to the original PS2's funky beats.
Is it fair to compare this game and the original PS2 Ratchet and Clank? Yes, cause if anything if I were to compare it to the 2016 Reboot what different does this game do then give us another ratchet and clank except the gender is switched. Really I felt nothing when playing this and I platinum'd it! So I clearly don't hate it but it was just... there. Nothing stood out to me and the RYNO sucks in this one.
