I need to gush, I was excited for this game from day 1 and it exceeded my expectations. It has an incredibly fun combat system, the job system brings something new to this style of game, every mechanic works great and when things click, you're a chaos killing machine.
The thing people will be surprised by is that the story is actually really good. Forget all the articles coming out saying "it's cringe and that's a good thing", no, this is actually, genuinely good. It's your standard Final Fantasy story, but Jack is such a weird wrench thrown into the mix for how absolutely dead set he is on killing Chaos that it manages to work perfectly. The party members bounce off him really well too, this feels like a group of people who are friends for this journey and have each others back.
And then the story kicks into high gear and hoooo boy, it gets good. I won't spoil anything, but I loved every moment of the last few missions of the game.
Definitely worth checking out, but at the same time, I realise this is a game that specifically hits me in what I love about games.

Surprisingly well written, has an endearing story, the characters are all well done and the use of licensed music is phenomenal.
Gameplay however is kind of middle of the road, it's fine but nothing special, stiff animations for dialogue moments is rough and the odd glitch here and there are downers. Nothing game breaking, but oddities like characters getting stuck or subtitles not loading in.
Would still recommend, was very enjoyable.

A shorter game that I wish more AAA developers got to do where they're very clearly making a short, focused experience.
The story is pretty good, albeit one character starts going downhill in the final act of the game. Gameplay I feel is a big upgrade over the original, the venom powers add a lot to the combat and the adjustments made to swinging are very fun.
The face model change for Peter Parker is a war crime though. The original PS4 face was so much better.

A very fun rhythm game that hugely benefits from the amazing tracks throughout the KH franchise. There's a few little nagging issues I have, like the lack of a story throughout the game, or how the final boss fight plays out. Would have easily been a 4.5 star review if they had included a Team Destiny (Sora, Riku, Kairi)
Almost perfect, but I feel that the game is a little too short and a bit too buggy to give a 5 star review.
Aside from those small hiccups, this is such a fun Ratchet and Clank game. I'd rank it in the top 3 games in the series, and it perfectly showcases what the PS5 can do for games right now. It honestly makes me wish more games moved to the current generation.
