The Lombax and his robot buddy are in fine form, delivering a fuss-free and quick-fire romp through the galaxy that rarely lets the pulse rate drop. To my great relief, the team pulled it out of the hat with this one. While I crossed my fingers for Insomniac’s latest effort – its own swansong for this particular generation – I was worried that Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus would continue a chain of disappointment. Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One was a tepid squirt of disappointment, while FUSE came to represent everything wrong with the pre-packaged, focus-tested, cynically regurgitated console market. Sadly, I’ve just not been feeling the same kind of love and craftsmanship from Insomniac lately. It’s a wonderful, wonderful studio – one of those companies that seem to “get” how videogames should be made, a studio that can craft a fascinating – and often adorable – world full of vibrancy and humor.
Insomniac and I have had a rough ride in recent years.
