Sony Computer Entertainment’s (SCE) Ratchet & Clank franchise has fallen out of favour in recent years. While it was initially birthed with the same intention as Jak and Daxter – and for that matter Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon – the platform genre as wider interest hasn’t been able to maintain its popularity on par with its leading light, Super Mario. As such the last few years have seen Ratchet & Clank in a bit of a muddle, struggling to re-evaluate its position and offer something of worth. 72/100
