Every Major PS4 Exclusive - Ranked From Worst To Best

4. Ratchet & Clank

Ratchet and clank
Insomniac

For as much as Nioh gets everything right about mature action and timing-based duels, Ratchet & Clank prove it's not just Nintendo who can release genuinely perfect platformers.

Ratchet & Clank perhaps suffered thanks to its coinciding movie being a bit naff, but for all those saying Vicarious Visions showed the world how to remaster an old classic, Insomniac got there first.

Told in flashback by Captain Qwark, you still play through the events of the first game but with plenty of new content, a revamped control scheme that turns the action into a shooter if you hold the left trigger, and a few moments of, "Hey, that's not how that happened!", resulting in the level changing right in front of you.

Gadgets are all present and correct, this looks genuinely jaw-dropping in motion, and the feel of control is the sort of deftness we tend to associate with Nintendo - all landmark positives for quite the hidden gem, and all things that make this a phenomenal video game.
