I am gonna try to not write a long review for this one because even though Its a short game, having gone for the platinum it has long overstayed its welcome and Im ready to delete it.
Despite that harsh opening, this game honestly wasnt all that bad. Please dont play this without a friend or friend with benefits or brother or sister or grandma or whatever, because I honestly cant imagine this game being very fun solo. It is fully meant to be a co-op game so maybe skip it if nobody loves you.
So the game is basically ratchet and clank gameplay but in a tower defense format. There is only 5 levels and one of them is a reskin so you're not really getting a lot of content here. There is also a multiplayer but it is beyond dead and Im not convinced would of been worth it to begin with. The game does have some decent replay value through medals and challenges and leveling up weapons, so having to replay the levels for the platinum was more fun then it was a bother. Story is whatever, its mildly funny but just there to string everything together. The game is really quite basic but it still does have all the charm you'd come to expect from a Ratchet and Clank game, so as long as you're playing with the right person you'll find this a fun game to beat in a sitting or two. If not, maybe you're not missing much.
Platinum Thoughts: So for the most part going for this platinum was pretty funny. You got some good miscellaneous ones and in general its just a good small trophy list. The hardest among these is to beat three of the levels with developer times, but as long as you attempt these on a second playthrough after you've upgraded most of your guns its pretty fun to try to beat them as quick as possible. They each took us a couple tries but we always were only short by a couple seconds so its a fair challenge without being too much of a pain. So for the most part its a fun not too demanding platinum. But then theres the one trophy that will long outlast all the others. You have to glide, hoverboot and run for a certain amount of miles that even after having beaten each level 2-3+ times we werent even half close too. This took us a few hours of additional grinding. This trophy is just lame, you'll long since have seen everything the game has to offer by the time you unlock it and leaves the game with an unsatisfying feeling upon completion. Worst part is the skill points you can use to track your progress end before you've met the trophy requirement, so you'll just be wandering around for an additional hour hoping you rack up enough time somehow.
All this being said, trophy annoyances don't equate to quality. You'll find that FFA is a respectable if probably unnecessary little co-op game and its worth the short time you'll spend on it if you've got someone to share it with. I'll always be grateful for series I like getting their own wacky little spinoffs and this is no exception
