the first game was serviceable fun
the second game improved the gameplay and is the best of the series

up your arsenal is probably the worst game of the series. any fans of it are delusional morons clouded by a bizarre nostalgia im glad i never have to experience or care to understand.
i hate the broken shooting focused gameplay, nothing works and none of it was fun. i hate that its like overly military themed, hate that they got rid of angela, hate that they kept qwark and worse they dont villainizing him.
the series always had a problem of having way more complicated plot than it needed but the more it happens the worse it gets. such an utterly forgettable game. i kept remembering levels from this and then realizing they were actually levels from the second game lmao
dr nefarious is the only good thing about this game.

tools of destruction had serviceable gameplay (except the motion control hacking minigame) but i hate that fish villain and the zoni and i hate that it has a cliffhanger so its not a stand alone game like the others. the main characters are cool but why do the aliens and robots in this series have to be so ugly? i wish these characters had better games.

quest for booty shouldve been 2 levels in another game idk why tf its on its own. i like pirate aesthetics but it shouldnt be a solo product.

crack in time has fun rocket boots but i hate the overly easy platforming and insufferable shooty gameplay. HATE the storyline easily the worst of the series and thats mostly because it has one in the first place when it didnt need to. the story rots the gameplay by splitting up the titular characters for 75% of the game. i hate time travel/manipulation in storytelling. i hate the retcon of clanks origin. i hated ratchets dads friend even before he was a twist villain and he takes time away from ratchet&clank being together, his story doesnt need to be remotely this deep. its just a cartoon game it doesnt need to be a movie. i hate the idea of a lombax genocide. ratchet doesnt need dead parents he can just be a cool loner mechanic with a robot friend its not that deep i promise.
i still love nefarious&lawrence but i hate that all the games theyre in suck ass.
all the bad games have ass puns in the titles… interesting.
i hate that they kept getting new ships every game. its like the series has no direction or identity beyond the title characters. which would be fine if each game had a very unique art style/theme or something but it all becomes a messy blur of forgettable nonsense.
it only needed to be a trilogy. all the games after the 3rd should be combined into one.
i guess its fanfic time for me :p

All 4 One is good and bad at the same time so i have frustrating feelings toward it. its annoying that its better than most of the mainline games :/ this series has potential but never progresses past the first two games. they couldve had a brand overhaul on the ps3 to fix the mediocre aspects of the series and make it cooler but it was just more of the same. i hate that this game has qwark in it. its great to have nefarious as a playable character tho.
