Ah, I actually disagree here
There's a big difference between giving someone praise for ticking all of the boxes versus giving them praise for pushing the envelope above and beyond. Insomniac have typically worked comfortably within the bounds of hardware to deliver what you want from new devices but they're rarely delivering things you didn't know were possible (visuall speaking). They're like the Nintendo EPD of sony. Efficient and effective. I'm also not complaining, this is probably why they've been able to produce 4 games in one generation whereas most first-party teams produced only 2.
No offense to the Ratchet games but they've had an easier ride because there are no other AAA action platformers to compare them to.
The polish of the Spyro remakes gives a strong impression that Pixar visuals would actually be pretty common with PS4 spec level hardware if anyone was invested in making more of these stylised games. Not to say its as impressive as a Ratchet of course
