Definitely the best a Ratchet and Clank game has felt to play. It's a whole lot better balanced than Tools of Destruction was, and the hover boots are a great addition. The ship exploration is fun and simple, and while it's not a sharp looking game it's got a great art style.

The only place where it still really falls short is the writing, which is again filled with badly aged 2000s video game humor. The melodrama is more enjoyable though, even if its plot blatantly contradicts itself.
