ratchet and clank's dial ticks just a tad toward their cousins jak and daxter's level of edginess, finding a balance that allows them to remain fully recognizable as ratchet and clank while still having a more serious and realized plot. i LOVED the writing in this one. the gameplay was good too, acting as an obviously halo-inspired take on the annihilation nation challenges from up your arsenal.
confused by the random and not tone-fitting transphobic joke in the post-credits scene, though. what was up with that?
