10 Best PlayStation Exclusive Franchises - Ranked

3. Ratchet & Clank

Playstation Franchises
Insomniac

Just try and name a better gaming duo than Ratchet and Clank. If you can, you probably haven't played their fantastic games.

This dynamic pair may have had a more uneven run in later years, but that doesn't remove how recognisable and beloved they were during the PlayStation 2 days. Even with some lesser received titles on the PS3, Ratchet and Clank seem to have returned with a bang with the PS4 remake of the first game.

So what makes Ratchet and Clank one of the best franchises on the system? One of the biggest reasons (and something that Sony in particular seem to do very well) is the characters and worlds. Ratchet, Clank and Quark are all iconic to the PlayStation brand because of how great they are, which is made even better by the wide variety of worlds that they all visit.

The thing that truly makes Ratchet and Clank special though is the arsenal of guns. Oh, the arsenal of guns. From Groovitrons to Lava Guns, every single Ratchet and Clank game delivers on gameplay because of how fun the weapons are.

And that soundtrack for the first game? Perfect.
