9. Ratchet & Clank Collection – Score: 89.6
Ratchet & Clank (PS2) – 88
Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando (PS2) – 90
Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal (PS2) – 91
At the time of their release, the Ratchet & Clank games were well regarded action platformers. The original Ratchet & Clank introduced us to what became one of the most recognizable duos, appearing in our Top 10 Best Dynamic Duos in Gaming list.
In Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, the emphasis on having a multitude of weapons was improved upon by allowing you to level each one up. Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal ended up as the best of the three with its introduction of series villain Dr. Nefarious, and the ability to briefly play as Captain Quark. Each new entry improved in small ways to improve the Ratchet & Clank formula; the quality of the games definitely increased as the games were released. The average review scores for each game were incredibly close, showing a consistent level of quality across all three, but the score for the remaster doesn’t quite reach 90.
