The only other Ratchet & Clank game I've played was the 2016 remake, but I can say without a doubt this one blows it out of the water. This is one game that truly feels "next-gen" with its extensive use of SSD loading times to pull off the effect of different dimensions ripping open the fabric of space. The story around it is done wonderfully, with Rivet & Kit feeling right at home in the midst of everything. I cannot even imagine what they're planning for the next one now that we know it's coming.
