It's the most basic Ratchet and Clank game out there, which makes it a good game, just nothing much more than that. The story is... there ? Is it ? I don't know. I like Captain Qwark but he is carrying the load here.
The games visuals are insanely good, Ratchet and Clank games have always looked good (Rift Apart is no exception), the game looks like a pixar movie you can play.
As for gameplay, it's Ratchet and Clank, so crazy weapons, a few minigames... The weapons are fun, the combat in general is. It's not awful hard, but you do have to pay attention to what you're doing, definitely. The Clank sections aren't all too hot though.
It's kinda hard for me to not compare this to Rift Apart, which just feels like a better version of this game, with a better story, better visuals (which is insane), better gameplay (the Clank sections are pretty good in Rift Apart). Maybe my comparisons with Rift Apart are unfair and should'nt impact my rating of this game, but I have to say, if you want a Ratchet and Clank game and have a PS5, go directly to Rift Apart, it's better than this in every way, even though this game isn't bad, far from it, just seems a bit dull by comparison to its illustrious successor.
