For Eighteen Years, Ratchet (A Creature Of The Lombx Animal, Which Is One Of My Beasts In This Series) Has Been Role-Playing In Various Games And Capturing The Hearts Of Gamers, Along With His Witty Friend Clash, Who Is, Of Course, A Small Robot. 

The Best Ratchet And Clank Games, From the first day they appeared until today, they have been able to take one step at a time, and almost none of the games in this franchise are considered weak titles, and they all have a lot to say for themselves.

It can say that 16 games from this series have been released for different platforms and mobile phones so far, and of course, in some games, these two characters have had an honorary presence. Of these 16 games, six are the main games, and the rest are sided games, although some of these side games are a masterpiece for themselves!

Not long ago, the latest version of these games was released exclusively for the PlayStation 5 and was able to meet with great success both from the community of game critics and the gamers themselves and achieved huge sales.

Rift Apart was literally a next-generation game, and with its engaging gameplay and stunning graphics, it was able to look really brilliant.

For this occasion, we will have a brief look at the history of this series, and we will review the best Ratchet and Clank games in their 18-year history; Titles that can still be enjoyed and enjoyed and in no way. Give the color and smell of antiquity! This powerful platformer-style franchise has attracted both casual and professional gamers over the years and appeals to both.

The important point in preparing this list is that we did not necessarily care about the game scores on sites like Metacritic, and we tried to prepare a list that we really think is the best in the series; however, we emphasize again that all of these titles have a special value and proximity to themselves, and being at the bottom of the list does not mean that you are facing a bad game. Still, they are pure jewels in the game world, some shining less and some more.

16. Ratchet & Clank: Before The Nexus

It is the only title in the series to be released for smartphones and is actually a spin-off for the Into The Nexus version. The game looks as good as a mobile game, but it is miles away from the beautiful console versions.

The game is in the style of Mobile Running games, with the difference that the popular characters of Ratchet and Clank are present in it, and a part of the game’s story is revealed here, which will definitely be interesting for fans of Two Fires.

15. Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault

This game is also known as QForce in some markets, and if you experience it with this name, do not be surprised. The game was released on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the series. It was introduced only a few months before the official release by the publisher and developer of the game, which was a kind of surprise for fans. However, I must admit that QForce was not the perfect gift that everyone was expecting for the tenth anniversary of this franchise, and Insomniac Games missed this gift!

The game is made in Tower Defense’s style, which is probably very familiar to mobile gamers, although the genre integrates with the game platformer battles, and a strange mix makes that some gamers did not like. Apart from the PlayStation 3, the game is also available for the PlayStation Vita handheld console. The game, according to some critics, suffers from anonymity. In fairness, this is the best attribute that can give to it because all the games in this series have the personal signature of the franchise, except for this title.

14. Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One

At Gamescom 2010, the game introduces a multiplayer recreation game that could play online and offline for 4 people. This was exciting for the fans, and the gameplay was very focused on the team theme. 4 characters from this series were included in the game, and each of them entered the game world by choosing one of these characters and had his own abilities.

The gameplay is not always engaging and a little simpler than ever. The stage design is not as brilliant as usual and is a bit weak; However, it is still the best option for a multiplayer experience of Ratchet and Clank i.

This title was only released for the PlayStation 3.

13. Secret Agent Clank

It was at the 2007 Tokyo Game Show that the creators introduced a weird game; However, the introduction of the game after the release of Ratchet: Deadlocked was not far from the mind; Especially since the rival of this series (Jack and Dexter franchise) had also made an independent game based on Dexter’s character and had achieved success.

The game focused only on the character of Clank, and this time there was no news about the main and permanent hero of this series, Ratchet, as a playable character. Basically, Ratchet played the least role even in the story section, and around the center of the story was our secret agent, Klenk. The gameplay was fundamentally different from other games in the series, and in some cases, even took on a secret atmosphere and of course, there were more puzzles in the game, and the active load of the game reduces.

Clank standalone game for the PSP handheld console and later for the PlayStation 2.

12. Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus

The Ratchet and Clank “Future” series trilogy was supposed to end with A Crack In Time, but eventually, the game found a final sequel called Into The Nexus.

As expected, the game, considered a custom game by Sony, could not behave like its three older brothers and is the weakest title in the “Future” series. This independent series, which has a story outside the main games, includes 4 games, and Into The Nexus, which is the last of them, has many weaknesses in terms of story, although in terms of the presence of strange weapons (permanent element of this series and its fixed signature) and design. Steps We see a full-fledged masterpiece.

The game also had high graphics, and it goes without saying that this game was the last title in the series released for the PlayStation 3.

11. Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty

Quest for Booty is the second title in the “Future” series, which is also a relatively short game among the titles of this franchise. The game was released for the PlayStation 3 in 2008 and told exactly the previous game’s story, and you were looking for the lost clone in the role of Ratchet Bid.

The game was more like a big add-on pack for the previous game than a full standalone title because it was not much different from its bigger brother, and as I said, it was a short game so that you could play it in as little as 3 hours. Finish!

10. Ratchet & Clank: Going Mobile

This was the first mobile game made from these characters to be released for mobile; And in 2005, when smartphones were not so popular, the game was released for phones with Java operating system.

The game was beautiful for a mobile title that was released more than 15 years ago, and in its time, it was considered a different title that every gamer wished to experience on their mobile phone. Lots and lots of weird weapons and different stages in the game and the good story that this game had; All in all, it made the game look beautiful among gamers.

9. Ratchet: Deadlocked

The risk that the creators of the game took to make this title was very high. They decided to play a game centered on just one hero and not the clown with two lovable characters and always portray them together.

This happened late in the life of these games on the PlayStation 2 console and at the peak of the couple’s popularity, and despite the removal of Clank, the game was highly action-oriented. In fact, the game can be considered as a mere action game in which you are constantly destroying the wave of enemies with attractive and strange weapons, and you move from one area to another, and the sense of adventure of the game greatly reduce; An issue that some fans did not like at all.

In this game, the ability to advance multiplayer in the Ratchet and Clank franchise was also implemented, which was later developed in other games.

The game was released for the PlayStation 2 and, in some areas, is also known as Gladiator.

8. Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters

The game was produced by another studio called High Impact Games and shone on the PSP so much that it is the only reason to buy this Sony handheld console. The publisher easily incorporated a console experience into a handheld console experience and created a powerful story to play that equals its value. The game was so successful that it was finally released for the PlayStation 2 home console so that fans would not miss it.

This was the last title in the series to be released for the PlayStation 2.

7. Ratchet & Clank (2016)

After years of silence and ignorance of the recipe and the famine and the existence of a good action platformer game for the Sony console, it was finally decided to completely recreate and release the first game of this series once again. The game was more than a simple remake, and it was entertaining! Due to the release of the game animation, an attempt was made to consider a richer story and give more dimension to the characters to better communicate with them. After years of blackouts, several new stages and weapons create for the game, and very positive reviews about it shed light on the Ratchet and Clank issue.

The game had stunning graphics and extremely engaging gameplay that attracted all old and new gamers unfamiliar with the series. The fight of the boss fights was beautifully designed, and the game is a completely modern version of a brilliant classic title.

This title was released for the PlayStation 4 console.

6. Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time

The third game in the “Future” series of Ratchet and Klenk was able to cover the weaknesses of the second version of this series and appear as a complete and powerful game. This is the epic ending to the trilogy, and it could have been a good ending for the new series. Although it ended with a weaker title called In The Nexus, I always like to imagine the end of this “future” series. Which was released for the PlayStation 3) in this version, the crack of this time has been calculated.

The game had a compelling story, and the new elements it introduced into the gameplay were enormous, giving the gamer more freedom of action to create action scenes. The game shone a lot and created the memory of the first title of the “Future” series, which really burst at the time of release!

5. Ratchet and Clank

When it’s time, we get to the game’s original version, where all these memories came to fruition for the first time.

The game was released exclusively for the PlayStation 2 in 2002 and was considered a full-fledged platformer title and was the beginning of a path that lasted eighteen years. Insomniac Games had shown its skill in creating successful games by making the Spiro game series, and in 2002 it proved this again with the release of Ratchet and Clank. Funny and lovable characters, beautiful gameplay, and an interesting combination of shooter and platformer games together was considered a new and modern move; Add to all this the existence of numerous mini-games and high graphics to realize that this game highly justify.

4. Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

The first game of the “Future” series, which is actually the first appearance of Ratchet and Clank on the PlayStation 3 console, is a full-fledged masterpiece that is still fascinating and spectacular.

This sub-series, which has nothing to do with the game’s main story, tells a separate story and was able to make the most of the graphic power of the PlayStation 3 console. The gameplay was extremely engaging and exciting, and the arrival of more weapons into the crazy world of the game made it extremely attractive. This work is known as one of the best games on the PlayStation 3 console, and not experiencing it isn’t warm-hearted to yourself!

3. Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando

The second series of this game, which was released for the PlayStation 2, appeared better than the original version and be considered an amazing sequel. The game was released in 2003 and had a unique design, the success of the first part left the game developers free, and they put more creativity into the game and went about their business with a bigger budget. The result was very successful. . It was in this game that, for the first time, the strange weapons of this series of games were equipped with an upgrade system and received new features during the game, which made the repetition value of the game much higher.

2. Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal

The third Ratchet and Clank game for the PS2 console performed better than the two older brothers, taking the sequel to the next level. The creators have officially shown that they have a reputation and sales aspect, and for their new game, they still had things on their sleeves that would take the fans by surprise.

The game was released only a year after the previous one, but it was so complete and different that it lasted for years. The gameplay was not much different from previous games, but the multiplayer feature added to the game made it extremely popular. In fact, this was the first time that this series could play both offline and online in multiplayer, and it was exciting!

Weapons had become much more practical, mini-games had become more attractive, and everything had reached its full potential.

1. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

The latest version of the Ratchet and Clank series is literally the best game of all the games in this series. This work shows very engaging gameplay that I personally have not seen before in any game of the new generation of consoles. Using the capabilities and features of the new PlayStation 5 controller and its unique graphics without loading seconds has made the game really shine from a technical point of view and can not be criticized.

The presence of two completely new characters in the game and the addition of new heroes to this series has given Johnny the franchise again and has made the game more diverse than before. Unique weapons and different enemies, and beautiful stage design are other elements that make Rift Appart the best game in the series and one of the best games in Sony’s new home console today.

The reunion of Ratchet and Klenk in a completely new game with a story that was a continuation of the previous games finally happened after a few years break. The game development team was able to revive this game series as beautifully as possible.
