After going back to the PS3 games was somewhat disappointing, was really pleased with this. Works well both as a finale to the PS3 games and as a stand-alone game. The bad 2000s video game humor of the previous games is gone and instead the writing feels more like what you'd see in a really good CG animated movie. It's also the first PS5 game to really feel like it showcases what the new hardware can do. It's an incredible looking game with some amazing setpieces.

It's just a very good one of these. I'd be alright with it if this is the final Ratchet game, though not gonna lie I'd love to see another one now that it feels like they've really nailed the tone the writing of these games needed to have.
