It's fine if you didn't enjoy TLOU2 it's probably one of the most divisive games ever. I liked Uncharted 4 and Lost legacy and would say they are more engaging than any game Insomniac has put out in recent years.
Spider-Man's story was fine but some of the gameplay sections were such a bore. Like those boring puzzles in the lab that thankfully could be skipped (guess they though they were bad too) and the forced stealth sections where you play as Mary Jane or Miles really bogged down the game. Spider-Man Miles Morales at least was made more fun by getting rid of those sections all together. Although I had issues with some of the writing in that game mostly pertaining to the main antagonist. I played a bit of Spider-Man 2 and it feels mostly like retreading old ground haven't gone back to it yet
Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart is certainly an improvement from Ratchet and Clank 2016. But the writing still feels watered down and the great humor that was such a staple of the old games is pretty much non-existent. The story feels completely pointless and does little to advance the main plotline. Ratchet and clanks personalities feel nerfed and the dialogue is cringe worthy at times "if you're broken then so am I". It feels like a modern Disney movie at times. The gameplay might seem fine at first but then you realize it's hardly different to the last 12 or so games in the series you've played. The only real addition to this game is a dodge function which honestly does little to shake up the tired formula.
So yeah I don't see Insomniac in the same light you do. They are good but no way are they the best developer Sony has.
As for Aloy I personally don't really care about how her face looks. This has never been a issue for me. Her design fits the setting and her role in the game. The comparison seems silly anyways as her actress is wearing makeup and lives a different kind of lifestyle to this character.

Uncharted 4 released in 2016. Lost Legacy in 2017. I liked both games. If that were the Naughty Dog we were talking about, they'd be Sony's best dev hands down but that was 7 plus years ago. The only new game they've released since then is TLOU2. meanwhile Insomniac has released 3 Spiderman and 2 Ratchet & Clank games.

Ok, but i'm not really talking about output here. I'm talking overall quality and i'm not all that impressed with the Spider-man games or Ratchet this gen. Don't get me wrong i still like insomniac they were probably my favorite developer growing up but they have been just "good" in recent years.
Also it's 1 Ratchet and Clank game they released this gen not 2, and 2 Spider-Man unless we're counting remasters now
