Core gameplay mechanic is fun and going through the campaign (parts 1 to 4) was quite enjoyable however the gameplay loop gets repetitive really quickly post campaign and maxing out the characters is really a grind, doesn't help that the game requires a constant Internet connection to function properly and requires a ps plus membership for you to play online. The game is sold at a full price but still has microtransactions this entails character challenge cards to unlock their cosmetics and takedowns this doesn't help you progress faster so thank God for that. Moreso I purchased this game in November of 2021 and I'd expect the crinkles in the game to be ironed out however it's still full of bugs and freezes constantly, even though I'm playing on a ps5.The lock on system sucks, the camera goes haywire whenever I try it, the game freezes after long missions which erases around 40 to 60 minutes of progress. Parts of the audio cut off randomly, one scene you can't hear the dialogue and in the other the music or sfx cuts off. The mission system can be confusing at times for beginners. You repeat the same missions, face the same enemies and bosses then your missions will refresh and rinse and repeat. - 3.5 stars it's a decent game that's brought down by its technical issues, hopefully it's fixed in future updates so I can bump it to a 4.5.

One of those games that you regret finishing, I'd love to go back and play this game again not only because of the nostalgia factor, which exists but also because the game is simply amazing everything is executed brilliantly, the game sticks to its roots not deviating much which is not a bad thing since the original ratchet and clank is a classic, it does everything the original game did and more, the new gen visuals are brilliant and gameplay is fast paced and fun, there are a multitude of weapons around 20 if I'm not wrong and each of them feel unique. The story is fun and lighthearted nothing too deep if you're here for the story i wont say you'd be disappointed but it's not the selling point. At the end of the day the game is pure fun, definitely one going into the ps exclusives hall of fame among the likes of uncharted and GoW
