Just Finished: Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando HD (PS+ Premium)
My first Ratchet & Clank game was Up Your Arsenal back on the PS2. I played the Ratchet & Clank remake/movie tie in on the PS4, so never felt the need to go back to play the PS2 original. That now makes Going Commando the earliest entry in the series I have played. What a surprise to find out that they pretty had much perfected the recipe for R&C games by the 2nd entry. I think Up Your Arsenal added online multiplayer which is really the only way that Going Commando is lacking in comparison. I would put this game on the level of any of the later games, maybe only Up Your Arsenal and Rift Apart are better. The level design is strong and varied. The controls are tight. The humor is captivating (many digs at Jak & Daxter). Clank is given fun stuff to do, including combat and boss fights. The space ship levels kinda suck, which would be my biggest gripe. The game can also be surprisingly challenging. I died more than I anticipated. The UI could have been improved (it got better for later games) and the weapons took a while to uprgrade. This game is aces. There are only a few more traditional R&C games I haven't played. I hope this series continues for a long time. It's truly one of my favorites.
Score: 9/10
