Havnt played a ratchet and clank game since PS2 trilogy? how is this game?

[Tyrant]

Any thoughts, I get this series is alot different now but is it fun and is the story enjoyable?

I have played all the games excluding the ps4 and 5 releases, at this point i don't even care if this is different. I'm pretty sure this has same core like every other game, cool guns and nice lvls.

As a person who has completed all mainline R&C games I can tell you that you probably will enjoy the game whether you've played the previous ones or not (especially the ps2 games). It is loosely connected with the other ps3 games. Very loosely.

I bought a used copy of Rift Apart a few weeks ago but I haven't started yet.

Only PS5 game that really had my attention since the console launched. I'll get it here when it's on sale (and I can evaluate the mod landscape).

Got the Platinum trophy for this game on PS5 its really great, and can replay the game with new game plus to level weapons and stuff even further.

can't believe it's been over 20 years since i last played ratchet and clank, this game makes me feel old :(

They've got better over time. (Even that PS4 game was enjoyable though not the strongest in the lineup I admit.)

It'll feel more fluid but if you played Ratchet & Clank 2 and 3, then it'll feel the same in controls. Just better graphics, new weapons, same sort of secrets to find, upgrading weapons which can take more than one play through.

For previous chapters if you want to catch up on the story plot though, best to play Tools of Destruction, Quest for Booty and A Crack in Time and Nexus on the PS3 (Still available to play on Playstation Now streaming service) But hoping Sony will port/remaster those four games to PC as those would sell highly as well.

So don't think it'll take you long to get back into it at all.

I actually never got around to playing ratchet 3 on the ps2 though wierdly the games I did play were Ratchet and clank 1 - 2 and deadlocked. Heard 3 was good though and I should probably play it some time.

Might end up getting this at some point though. Would be cool if the other games got ported to steam.

Gonna hijack this post to ask about 2 points from previous games

Something in the 2nd game I really lreally loved was the huge levels where there were crystals scattered about and tons of enemies would constantly attack you as you roam around and try and bust the crystals. I loved the feel of grinding my way through, fighting for my life as I try to clear the whole area

And in Deadlocked(I think it was Deadlocked), with the weapon upgrades, in NG+ or maybe it was even further than that, your weapons just leveled up so fast and transformed and kept growing and getting slightly more powerful and having new effects and more projectiles and simply way more chaos

Does this game have these kinds of things? Does any of the newer R&C games have these kinds of things?

I wonder about lvls, the first Ratchet was great if not the best
but the Ratchet:Gladiator/Deadlocked had super fun and rewarding grind of weapon upgrades for which I really crave for.
The Golden weapons, endless leveling, skill points and hidden rooms I really miss those in today's games.

A shame most stuff like that in recent game releases is locked behind paywalls. Deadlocked had near perfect progression.
