An astoundingly good debut on the PS4: because Insomniac knows what makes these games work, and they realized that they didn't need to overhaul them from the ground up to make them work on a new system, too.
Ratchet and Clank makes the rest of the current-gen remasters looks lazy, by rebuilding the original game from the ground up and delivering a hilarious adventure full of enormous guns.

Modern Ratchet & Clank, its about time. It still feels as good as it ever has and now looks fantastic to boot. Same great combat and action as you would expect from the series.

+ Better than the movie in everyway possible+ Improves on the original in everyway+ Actually has notable music score unlike original+ Weapons are better than original~ Change in story omits certain characters from series / makes new ones~ Ratchet is not consist with the original PS2 counterpart~ A lot to upgrade and level up- Blocking cutscenes because it was literally in the movie- Shouldn't have had a movie

Ratchet & Clank boisterously raises the bar for all the remakes to come: a lot of new planets to explore, new weapons, and a wonderful and uber-polished porting. A genuinely fun experience from start to finish, one we definitely recommend to all PS4 owners.
Insomniac Games did not just remake this classic platformer. They boldly bombarded it with ideas and then rebuilt it pixel by pixel using methods unknown 13 years ago. The result is magnificent. [06/2016, p.50]
Ratchet & Clank are back with a great example of what a remake should be. Fun, engaging and visually stunning, this new episode is a great experience for everyone.
Ratchet & Clank on PS4 is a beautifully remaking of the first episode of the series, adding some features from the other episodes and some sequences from the new movie, and the result is just excellent.
It's not taxing or provocative, it will leave you neither upset nor elated; it simply wants to give you a good time. Sometimes that's enough. [June 2016, p.114]
This sim is a quality and fun ratchet, graphics are perfect, gameplay is perfect up and the sound design is so good that I went crazy.
This game simply has no downsides.

Great remastered from the first original Ratchet and Clank game despite the cutscene being a mixed bag of CGI and stiff animation.

It’s a solid remaster of a true classic. There’s some rough edges, but it’s certainly worth playing.

Complete character assassination of Ratchet and most of the supporting characters. Cheapens charming aspects of the original in a multitude of ways and is generally inferior in every single way except graphically.

What a disappointment, this game is nothing more than an underwhelming "Remake" of the original game, that feels very lazy and rushed.
It honestly plays like an outdated PlayStation 3 game, the visuals are beautiful, but the controls and core gameplay are bland. Even though it does get better as you unlock more weapons, something feels off, the movement is kind of clunky and doesn't match well with how fast paced the action is.
The story is incredibly boring, it's the most basic and uninteresting story that tries to be something bigger but ultimately falls flat by the very choppy pacing, and what the hell is wrong with these cutscenes that were taken from the movie, they are so out of place and very abrupt, it's like they don't even belong in the game.
The planets look great but there's not much to do in them, there are some mini games and I did enjoy few of them but I never felt motivated to genuinely explore and get lost, it's a very linear experience.
The best thing about the game is the environment and the graphics, the game looks really good for most of the time like an animated movie for children, but that's the only thing that truly impressed me.
As for the puzzles... uhhh well, nope, I didn't really enjoy them, fortunately there aren't many of them, it's just that they could've been shorter because they slow down the action.
Also I just wanna point out that I didn't even laugh a single time throughout the entirety of the game, in fact I forgot I was supposed to laugh, the jokes don't land at all, they're embarrassing and very cringe.
It's barely a mediocre game in my opinion, it's right below average with few redeeming qualities, but it could have been significantly better. It's just not fun for me, and I can't help but feel unsatisfied, granted I do think that some people might enjoy it more than I did, because I was left severely disappointed.
Final Rating: "Weak" ~ 4/10.
