I was so excited when Ratchet and Clank finally came out for PC (still hoping for the older games to join the ranks). Very fun, very lovable characters, cute little story. I really enjoyed this, but for a full price title it's honestly a bit short on content. Full playthrough with all achievements in 22 hours and very little replay value. I recommend buying this on sale.
I had a preorder for Wolverine that I decided to just cancel and finally get around to playing this instead. Honestly probably one of the best decisions I've made in a while.
For being what will likely be the only Ratchet & Clank game ever officially on PC, it could be worse. Looks great with pretty consistent performance, maybe some frame drops here and there but that's nothing too crazy. Starts out promising enough, but I feel like it never really hits the difficulty of the classic PS2 games outside of a handful of encounters. The more satirical elements of the PS2 games are mostly gone too in favor of something more sappy and heroic, which I'm not the biggest fan of, but it's not a deal breaker. There's some decent fan service here, some of the newer weapons are pretty fun to use, collecting stuff wasn't too obnoxious. I wouldn't recommend it over the PS2 games, but it's functional, and it's a decent enough time if you want more Ratchet & Clank.
