First time playing Ratchet & Clank and haven't had so much fun on a PS console in years. You can tell this is a Sony experience due to the cinematics and quirky humour. Being the first R&C game, I found the story and lore to be very interesting, kinda has a Star Wars theme but with TMNT vibe and attitude.
The level design is fantastic, with varied worlds and mechanics to be used. With the mechanics, the various guns, platforming and devices, there is always something new. With so many weapons to use, you choose how to play and beat a section.
There is some space combat (although not my fav) which gives variety and adds to the story.
The graphics are not the best the console can offer, it had great art style making it unique for the time.
The issues I had is having random audio stutters on the cut scenes. There was also one time the audio was 2 seconds behind the visuals which is jarring. The final nail was a bug with crates floating when hitting the ones underneath. If you stand below the floating crate you will clip through the game and die. This happened to me twice.
Besides the issues listed above, this would be a 10/10. My 11yo son loves it and being a kid at heart I can see why.
