Just like Spider-Man, I think Insomniac is headed in the right direction and once they figure out how to add combat variety, Insomniac will be unstoppable.
@@Sirmichaeltheblackknight3563 I think because Sony wanted this game to be kidish, maybe, I don't know, but Insomniac are the kings of this shit so they wanted to be the best, which it is imo.
I thought it was just going to be another one of those games that'll just appeal to our nostalgia, but it was more than that. It's one of my better game purchases this year.
We do get one every generation. There are actually a lot of them. No hate though. Some are more memorable than others. And the last two have been GREAT
Yea when your enjoying a game it doesn’t really show on the face to often tbh, I think a face you make while really enjoying a game is with your mouth wide open and not blinking because your just so into it
The fact that he says it’s weighed down a lot by the enemies but is still a really great game with an 85% in the moist meter says a lot. Another banger from Insomniac.
I think that ratchet and clank is the type of game that doesn’t make you think too much and focuses more on having fun and enjoying the fight instead of making you sweat a ton for a fight
If you've ever played the original trilogy you should know that variety is (or atleast WAS) the strenght of R&C. Action and puzzles combined. Seems like Insomniac has gone down the road where they want to cater for all audiences, forgetting the roots of the series.
@@hullzor970 I think R&C still works perfectly fine, although I do think Insomniac has made a major distinction since the PS2 games which is the tone of the series. It has definitely softened its edge, but I think Sunset Overdrive is the main reason for that transition. Both games have very similar gameplay loops, while Overdrive retains the dirty humor and anti-capitalist messages from the PS2 R&C games. I think the soul of the original games lives on in Sunset Overdrive, while current Ratchet and Clank has become PlayStation's go-to for a fun kid friendly series.
@@blue3895 i totally agree with you and i hate the fact that people said, oh it is not same as the original, well then dont play it or play the games that made them famous for. If you have ps2 go back and play them if your have a ps3 play those instead. Like stop telling people they are not the same anymore, they are going to change thats life.
@@buecomet831 so true I think people need to realise that ratchet and clank now appeal to more of a younger generation now rather than people like us but you can go so far to the point where u can ruin character traits or personality and I think insomniac should have learnt that from the reboot since alot of unnecessary things were changed
compare this to the original 3 is it good? absolutely no. ratchet is a insecure vimp and everything in this game is made so childish that i almost couldn't play it at some points.
@@skat3maniac117from a technical standpoint, yes it is better than the PS2 games. Obviously the design varies as I still prefer Going Commando's along with Tools of Destruction
Honestly being one of the biggest fans of the Ratchet and Clank series, i agree with this review. Id say the best example would be the original Ps2 game as that game had enemy variety, strategy to use weapons (not using all of them), nice music, and great aesethics or sightseeing things (when it comes to a ps2 game). Insomniac Games really putting them higher and higher with each game and this takes the best being in a true Ps5 game.
My two problems with the original game are the lack of strafing for obvious reasons and the fact that the final boss felt very restrictive with what you could attack him with, I’ve beaten every ratchet except this one and agent clank at least 10 times each and I just wish this one was a bit longer and for Jim ward to have returned (unfortunately that’s not possible) aside from Charlie’s own complaint of the enemy variety and strategy
@@Xalocin Well not to mention the first game did have the spyro charm of taunting and attacking if u did get close at times, but half the time they were hard from experience
@@Xalocin only exceptions are fliers, shield boyos, and some boss gimmicks like bomb glove and scorcher being almost useless against drek unless you use speedrun exploits
Same. When i was seven me and my brother got lepord gekos for our bithdays. We named them Ratchet and Clank. Love the franshise! I am now 26, and the gekos are still alive and well! They just turned 19!
Honestly don’t mind having less enemies if their AI is good. The OG Halo games has 3 repetitive enemies, but the AI was so good that it didn’t matter. I wish more developers understood this.
Actually having less emeny types while keeping the variety of weapons is good to me. In some games they will claim to have a lot of types of enemies and weapons while the player is only supposed to change to a certain weapon while encountering certain type of enemy and that's what I would consider "fake variety". Instead of that I would rather have a game with enemies that has mostly aesthetic difference, while all of my 16 interesting weapons can be used towards most of them.
@@sunessetham627 The problem (for some people) with that is that there isn't any incentive to use any weapons beyond the one or two that you need. Like Charlie said, he only used two, maybe three weapons for the majority of the story. Not much point to having 16 guns in the game if you don't need them. That's where AI and enemy abilities come into play. If enemies are versatile enough to adapt to a weapon or playstyle, then there is ample cause to switch weapons, and is usually a player's first instinct when their initial plan is thwarted.
@@AbsoluteMongoloid Then I guess it's just personal preference that I'm more into this type of weapon system. In my first playthrough of 13hrs, I managed to maxed out 6 weapons without intentional grinding. (Pea shooter, shotgun, sprinkler, scatter bomb, sniper and rocket launcher. I've played it in another language so I don't know what they are called in English but you know what I mean), as well as a couple other weapons that are in level 3 or 4. I'm not sure if that number is high or low, but what I'm sure is despite the weapons I purchased after the final boss, there were only like two or three guns that I didn't use as much during the playthrough. When I know that the player can upgrade their weapons even further in NG+ I was stunned. Also, like Charlie I played on highest difficulty as well, but I actually found that this game encourages you to use different weapons based on factors like enemy arrangement and position, map layout, player health etc. (rather than solely used against certain enemy types like some other games). Therefore subjectively speaking, I think the variety issue isn't that bad.
@@sunessetham627 The debate of weapons being required vs encouraged is an old one, but there is no arguing that repetition is boring, and that using the same weapon(s) on the same enemy is very repetitive. Besides, why should Ratchet be the only one with an interesting amount of variety? Even in the hotly contested games, such as Deadlocked, there were enemies exclusive to some worlds, such as Leviathans and Pincer Rays. The Devs intentionally not giving worlds that sort of "living personality" via new enemy encounters is pure laziness imo. Think about it. I say Aridia, you think Sandsharks. When I say Catacrom 4, you think of Robot Zombies. Exotic enemies are iconic, engaging, and give you something fresh, even if you are the type to stick to only a few weapons. Removing them made the game lose a good amount of appeal, but I'm sure modders could work around that easily. I might just buy the game anyway, since it seems generally good in other ways. A word to OP: R&C AI isn't nearly on Halo levels.
@@AbsoluteMongoloid this has been the case in every single ratchet game but the first one. In Ratchet 2 you can literally just spam the bouncer the whole game. These games let you decide what you want to use and doesn't make it too difficult. You can't expect ratchet to be like Doom Eternal in which weapon switching is necessary.
It is a good time to be a Ratchet and Clank fan! The pure vindication from having your newest installment be the best looking video game of all time while also being critically acclaimed is a wonderful feeling!
I am absolutely in love with this game. It makes me feel like I'm a little kid again, and it's so much fun to play. I've been obsessed with this franchise ever since the first game and Rift Apart is definitely in my top 5 or even top 3.
@Aedrius 0 I am a Monster Hunter fan, and your comment it was pretty much spot on. In my case i love to repeat the same bosses when they are very well designed and fun, like Gore Magala, Mizutsune, Seregios and Valstrax.
Fucking fantastic game bro, i still have a ps2 and even today i still think it looks stunning, so just imagine a remaster or a jak4, that game was ahead of its time
That's because Ratchet had a different voice actor. I didn't know this at first, but apparently the guy who voiced ratchet in the first game voiced one of the ninja turtles in one of the animated series. Mike kelly or something like that, you can look him up if you want.
That's cause in the ps2 days he was an edgy shirtless chad that eventually learned to give a shit about people exploding, not a cringy insecure nerd. They rebranded to better appeal to their audience
Ive never played ratchet and clank before, nor have I been interested in trying it out, but this game looks absolutely beautiful; i might have to try it out
The lack of enemy variety has been a problem in the saga since the 3rd game which is...a little bit dissapointing but still, this game looks like a ton of fucking fun
The third game did just reskin the most abundant enemies towards the end of it, but in the developer podcast Anthony Garcia said it was a miracle the game was completed as they were running out of time with development. Also the focus on fighting was there due to majority of people just wanting it (his words).
My only gripes is the weapons, enemies and no skill points. Nice to see gold bolts back. Theres only really two types of enemies and the weapons arent as great as the classics, especially upgrading imo.
@@I_THE_ME yeah, pretty funny how the most popular game of the franchise is the one they thought was gonna flop also, adding a new crate for a bottle of beer is my favourite reason to add a game feature, ever.
Demons Souls remake is worth your time If you skipped it for PS3, if you already played I’d say wait for a sale it’s still like seeing a graphical jump from early PS2 - late stage PS4 games
@@PixelPigEntertainment I was not ditching Demon Souls in Specific, but the fact that Only Demon Souls and RE8 are worth the Console. Now this new game makes it more!
@@bronyman9000 sure but cartridge games literally didn’t have load screens or times. Thats why Nintendo was hesitant to switch to CDs until they realized that 3rd parties just didn’t care about that any more.
I’ve waited for this one so badly hehe I’m so excited to see what he says about it! Edit: alright fair criticism, I respect it. I feel like the lack of variety was intentional though so you just have the simple freedom to use whatever you want whenever you want. It’s kind of a cheap cop out but it’s definitely serviceable. Other than that, spectacular game!
Yeah, the game was amazing! Just seeing the characters and voices of Ratchet and Clank after so long just sent me back to when I played Tools of Destruction, too good
@@namelol.mp4561 I’ve never even gotten the chance to play all the original games, but this game just got me so excited and now I’m getting ready to play the whole series to finally get in on what I’ve missed
Ratchet and Clank is my favorite Playstation franchise ever, from the fun chaotic ps2 games to the more serious (story wise) playstation 3 games, I really can't get enough of them. Beside owning every single game in the series physically I also have multiple copies just in case. Im so glad that the series is getting more attention and since sony bought Insomniac its a triple A studio now. Can't wait until 2022 where its Ratchet and Clanks 20 year anniversary, Insomniac should have something in store for us long time fans of the series.
The Design, graphics, levels and cameos of two forgotten characters that we miss. Ratchet and Clank has always been my favorite childhood game along with Sly Cooper and Crash Bandicoot.
Did you notice different enemies react differently to certain weapons? Ice froze certain enemies but the undead could keep going. Robots could be stopped in their track with electricity. Also orange dome head enemies are more susceptible to damage to their glass from explosives and the sniper? The slime also split a bit less when hit with ice. The variety was lacking but i loved those details.
This game blew my mind. Truly feels like the first next gen game to fully take advantage of PS5's hardware. Now I need a sly cooper Trilogy remaster tuned to this caliber for PS5 that would be absolutely incredible to see
Both have really nice graphics but death stranding definitely goes for more of a realistic vibe but I like this more cartoonish vibe more because everything feels more alive
Just started playing this last night and have pretty much the same opinion. It was visually beautiful and apart from the enemy variety probably one of the most fun casual games to come out in a long time
I'm glad that Doom Eternal's lasting effect on the game industry is getting everyone to scrutinize weapon incentivization and enemy variety in other games Too many games just don't really push you out of your comfort weapons and tools and expect you to kill normal man, big man, small man, sneaky man, and shield man for the entire game Not that other games haven't done that as well, Eternal just had that wider market appeal.
@@worldkat1393 Not even to say it hasn’t, but I’m assuming this specific game has enough of an issue that a modern eye sees it immediately. I mostly played the first two games and do remember that even on a planet to planet basis there was a ton of enemy types
@@razordoom1 There were yes. The original trilogy focused on a world by world narrative, this game focuses on a key set of enemies but yes in terms of enemy types this game was lacking. The AI etc was handled pretty well and hopefully will act as a solid basis for more enemy types in the next title as this is main issue raised about the title.
DF did a deep dive with the lead engine head over at Insomniac. Yes they are able to unload and load the entire memory buffer of an entire scene within 1 second. It was so fast they actually had to redo the main engine to actually be able to keep up with all the data coming in lol. It was just too much for the old engine to handle. He also stated that they are excited to jump into the world of real-time GI lighting and ditch the old baked method because it costs so much money and takes so much time to do baked lighting. I'm sure teams across the world are saying the same things. Great video as always. The PS5 is absolutely a monster of a console. And it actually has teams able to take advantage of it's power from launch till it is replaced. The next 6 years is going to be NUTS

@@sunessetham627 The debate of weapons being required vs encouraged is an old one, but there is no arguing that repetition is boring, and that using the same weapon(s) on the same enemy is very repetitive. Besides, why should Ratchet be the only one with an interesting amount of variety? Even in the hotly contested games, such as Deadlocked, there were enemies exclusive to some worlds, such as Leviathans and Pincer Rays.
The Devs intentionally not giving worlds that sort of "living personality" via new enemy encounters is pure laziness imo. Think about it. I say Aridia, you think Sandsharks. When I say Catacrom 4, you think of Robot Zombies. Exotic enemies are iconic, engaging, and give you something fresh, even if you are the type to stick to only a few weapons. Removing them made the game lose a good amount of appeal, but I'm sure modders could work around that easily. I might just buy the game anyway, since it seems generally good in other ways.
A word to OP: R&C AI isn't nearly on Halo levels.
@@AbsoluteMongoloid this has been the case in every single ratchet game but the first one. In Ratchet 2 you can literally just spam the bouncer the whole game. These games let you decide what you want to use and doesn't make it too difficult. You can't expect ratchet to be like Doom Eternal in which weapon switching is necessary.
Not only this game, but the whole series is amazing. way ahead of their time.
My only mistake is not listening to charlie sooner.
What?
I remember being so hyped for this game, and the graphics actually look better than I expected!
Why
Yeah, so cool.

It is a good time to be a Ratchet and Clank fan! The pure vindication from having your newest installment be the best looking video game of all time while also being critically acclaimed is a wonderful feeling!
Currently in the process of playing the 2015 R&C, and this looks like an amazing sequel.
It's from 2016 and i think it's the weakest (in plot at least) but it's pretty enjoyable
It’s actually not a sequel to the ps4 one it’s a sequel to the original series the ps2 trilogy and ps3 future series

@Goromi goreng Not it's story (or characters)
I am absolutely in love with this game. It makes me feel like I'm a little kid again, and it's so much fun to play. I've been obsessed with this franchise ever since the first game and Rift Apart is definitely in my top 5 or even top 3.
It pains me that I don't have a PS5 to play a game which had so much impact on my childhood
same bruv, let's hope we both get our hands on it one day

Same, man
This game made me feel like I was playing ratchet and clank going commando all over again, it really gave the franchise the jump start it needed

Don’t forget about Jak and Daxter not having loading screens waaaaay back in 2001
Fucking fantastic game bro, i still have a ps2 and even today i still think it looks stunning, so just imagine a remaster or a jak4, that game was ahead of its time
Ngl this game's graphics are insane and it's as smooth as a butter.

My friend Laura was a big developer on this game, and I couldn't be more proud
Still stands strong in 2023 I’m loving it.
Spiderman remastered was basically no loading so I guess Insomniac has perfected this even more! So excited to get this soon!
ruclips.net/video/8gwWP9jB0W80/видео.html
I remember in the first game, ratchet sounded like a surfer dude.
That's because Ratchet had a different voice actor.
I didn't know this at first, but apparently the guy who voiced ratchet in the first game voiced one of the ninja turtles in one of the animated series.
Mike kelly or something like that, you can look him up if you want.
@@Justacheese I will never see ratchet the same way unless I more than likely end up forgetting that little trivia.
ruclips.net/video/8gwWP9jB0W8/видео.html
I see you all the times on his channel, get a life
That's cause in the ps2 days he was an edgy shirtless chad that eventually learned to give a shit about people exploding, not a cringy insecure nerd. They rebranded to better appeal to their audience
Charlie talking about his reaction: I was completely stunned at the visuals
Charlie reacting: staring emotionless at the screen
And that’s why he’s legendary. Making him do so much as widen his eyes at what he’s seeing means that you just did something incredible
"Tony Hawk: American Wasteland" was the first game I played with almost 0 loading screens it was an instant classic in its day
THAW was the last good Tony Hawk game IMO.
@@MegaphoneFranke Agreed!
Ive never played ratchet and clank before, nor have I been interested in trying it out, but this game looks absolutely beautiful; i might have to try it out
Would reccomend. It’s a solid 8.5 to 9.3/10 experience
The lack of enemy variety has been a problem in the saga since the 3rd game which is...a little bit dissapointing but still, this game looks like a ton of fucking fun
The third game did just reskin the most abundant enemies towards the end of it, but in the developer podcast Anthony Garcia said it was a miracle the game was completed as they were running out of time with development. Also the focus on fighting was there due to majority of people just wanting it (his words).
My only gripes is the weapons, enemies and no skill points. Nice to see gold bolts back. Theres only really two types of enemies and the weapons arent as great as the classics, especially upgrading imo.
@@I_THE_ME yeah, pretty funny how the most popular game of the franchise is the one they thought was gonna flop
also, adding a new crate for a bottle of beer is my favourite reason to add a game feature, ever.
Twitter had a meltdown on why the plants don't react to the player and why there are no footprints in the sand/mud segments(even though there are)
My brother was a sound designer and haptic designer, and hearing your praise made me even more proud, hell yeah. thanks charlie!

Charlies face in the webcam: 😐
As an OG R&C fan, I’m SO glad it’s finally getting the recognition it deserves. This game is the best gaming experience.
Facts, I own every game in the series, I love these games dearly
As a fan of Ratchet and Clank from my childhood this brings a tear to my eye seeing two worlds collide with R&C and Charlie
Looks like is finally worth to think about getting a PS5
Demons Souls remake is worth your time
If you skipped it for PS3, if you already played I’d say wait for a sale it’s still like seeing a graphical jump from early PS2 - late stage PS4 games
@@PixelPigEntertainment I was not ditching Demon Souls in Specific, but the fact that Only Demon Souls and RE8 are worth the Console. Now this new game makes it more!

Glad this got a good review since Ratchet and Clank was the series that made me fall in love with gaming
"I've never imagined playing a game without a load-screen." Have you really never played a cartridge-based game? hah
ruclips.net/video/8gwWP9jB0W80/видео.html
Well ty the tasmanian tiger 2 had something like that to give an illusion that there was no loading screen
@@bronyman9000 sure but cartridge games literally didn’t have load screens or times. Thats why Nintendo was hesitant to switch to CDs until they realized that 3rd parties just didn’t care about that any more.
I’ve waited for this one so badly hehe I’m so excited to see what he says about it!
Edit: alright fair criticism, I respect it. I feel like the lack of variety was intentional though so you just have the simple freedom to use whatever you want whenever you want. It’s kind of a cheap cop out but it’s definitely serviceable. Other than that, spectacular game!

This was fantastic, I’m only sad it wasn’t longer. I love Rivet and Kit though, and hope to see more of them.
Play the game on one of the harder difficulties, you will HAVE to switch your weapons up, if only because you run out of ammo completely
Hopefully this game’s success will get us a new Jak and Sly already, us fans have been holding out for years
A Crack in Time was like my favourite game when i was younger and this is making me wanna replay it so bad
Ratchet and Clank is my favorite Playstation franchise ever, from the fun chaotic ps2 games to the more serious (story wise) playstation 3 games, I really can't get enough of them. Beside owning every single game in the series physically I also have multiple copies just in case. Im so glad that the series is getting more attention and since sony bought Insomniac its a triple A studio now.
Can't wait until 2022 where its Ratchet and Clanks 20 year anniversary, Insomniac should have something in store for us long time fans of the series.
Really love the footage of Critikal looking at chat and never at the game!
My least favorite part about this game is how short it is
10/10 because nostalgia
Edit: and its just really good and beautiful

@hi friends no
The Design, graphics, levels and cameos of two forgotten characters that we miss.
Ratchet and Clank has always been my favorite childhood game along with Sly Cooper and Crash Bandicoot.
Charlie: “Came here with my eyes wide and jaw on the floor”
Also him in the background clip: Deathstaring everything
- Charlie taking about the colors and graphics technology
- Me watching in 144p because my internet sucks
Did you notice different enemies react differently to certain weapons? Ice froze certain enemies but the undead could keep going. Robots could be stopped in their track with electricity. Also orange dome head enemies are more susceptible to damage to their glass from explosives and the sniper? The slime also split a bit less when hit with ice. The variety was lacking but i loved those details.
They manage to make great games for everyone to enjoy while primarily trying to appeal to a young audience.
Truly a skill
“You’re grinding down a pipe like it’s Sonic except it’s much better than Sonic.”
*Because it’s not Sonic*
This game blew my mind. Truly feels like the first next gen game to fully take advantage of PS5's hardware. Now I need a sly cooper Trilogy remaster tuned to this caliber for PS5 that would be absolutely incredible to see
This is prolly the most respectful review on RUclips for this game respect
Insomniac has been doing a lot of nice stuff lately
Death Stranding is up there with the visuals. No fancy lights, but good detail
Both have really nice graphics but death stranding definitely goes for more of a realistic vibe but I like this more cartoonish vibe more because everything feels more alive
Charlie nonchalantly saying he is the smartest man in the world just shows that he is indeed the smartest man in the world
I miss deadlocked.
Me too....
Same, i still remember buying it randomly at a garage sale down the street and it quickly became one of my favorite games
Those graphics look absolutely incredible
This makes me happy, one of my favorite game series growing up
Nothin will beat going commando, up your arsenal and deadlocked
Deadlocked is not talked enough about imo, fantastic game
The game has orange and purple: best graphics I ever saw.

All time classic and is amazing, they always pump out bangers
Just started playing this last night and have pretty much the same opinion. It was visually beautiful and apart from the enemy variety probably one of the most fun casual games to come out in a long time
I'm glad that Doom Eternal's lasting effect on the game industry is getting everyone to scrutinize weapon incentivization and enemy variety in other games
Too many games just don't really push you out of your comfort weapons and tools and expect you to kill normal man, big man, small man, sneaky man, and shield man for the entire game
Not that other games haven't done that as well, Eternal just had that wider market appeal.
This has also been a strength of this franchise though.
This franchise did it before doom eternal was even a concept bruv
@@worldkat1393 Not even to say it hasn’t, but I’m assuming this specific game has enough of an issue that a modern eye sees it immediately. I mostly played the first two games and do remember that even on a planet to planet basis there was a ton of enemy types
What bro? Plenty of games had weapon incentivization before hand, and some are much more popular than doom. Borderlands is one of them.
@@razordoom1 There were yes. The original trilogy focused on a world by world narrative, this game focuses on a key set of enemies but yes in terms of enemy types this game was lacking. The AI etc was handled pretty well and hopefully will act as a solid basis for more enemy types in the next title as this is main issue raised about the title.
The Sly Cooper and Jak & Daxter Easter egg was the cherry on top of this game 😂 P.S Sony animates Sly better than Sanzaru did 😂
This game is actually making me consider buying a ps5 from a scalper.......
Don't, its not worth it
Don't it's great but not worth buying a 800$ scalped console
"no load screens"
speed runners like that
Ratchet n Clank is my childhood man, I need to play it.
it’s sad that covid is the reason there’s a lack of enemy variety in this game
Nowadays , we're so often scared that great looking games may become another Anthem...
But that is so refreshing.
DF did a deep dive with the lead engine head over at Insomniac. Yes they are able to unload and load the entire memory buffer of an entire scene within 1 second. It was so fast they actually had to redo the main engine to actually be able to keep up with all the data coming in lol. It was just too much for the old engine to handle.
He also stated that they are excited to jump into the world of real-time GI lighting and ditch the old baked method because it costs so much money and takes so much time to do baked lighting. I'm sure teams across the world are saying the same things.
Great video as always. The PS5 is absolutely a monster of a console. And it actually has teams able to take advantage of it's power from launch till it is replaced. The next 6 years is going to be NUTS
Wasn't planning on getting this but now after this review....might be my first full priced ps5 game
Insomniac games bringing bangers. Spiderman was amazing and now Rachet n clank.
