Ratchet & Clank for PS4 — a Famous Five Paragraph Review

12 April 2016
Ratchet and Clank

You know what sells better than sex? Nothing, really, but do you know what comes close? Nostalgia.

If Marvel is allowed to reboot Spider-Man a third time since Tobey Maguire played him in 2002 then, by Belenos, Insomniac Games should be allowed to remake Ratchet & Clank.

Although we haven’t had a chance to play the new Ratchet & Clank ourselves, the embargo has lifted on the pre-launch reviews and there is plenty of gameplay footage online.

The verdict is clear: don’t expect anything genre-shaking, but you’ll get a gorgeous 3D puzzle platformer with sweet guns, great gameplay, not bad story, and most importantly – sweet guns.

Not convinced? Watch these 80 minutes of gameplay and tell me you don’t feel like kicking robot and/or sand shark ass afterward.
