8 Reasons Ratchet And Clank Is The Best PS4 Exclusive So Far
7. A Supremely Confident Developer
From the second you fire up the first cutscene to the last when you're watching the credits roll, one word encapsulates everything Insomniac were going for across all of Ratchet & Clank; 'confidence'.
Free from the focus-tested shackles of trying to design a new IP from the ground up (R.I.P. Fuse), they can revisit what made them such a household name in the first place.
You can tell from the hearty dialogue and fourth-wall breaking commentary offered by Captain Qwark (the game is based on the movie of the original game, just for kicks), that the scriptwriters are having a blast revisiting the material that continued the studio's post-Spyro success.
The tone is lighthearted and nuanced, producing the perfect love letter to all the old school fans, whilst also appealing effortlessly to a whole generation of new ones.
