Revisiting Ratchet and Clank
I randomly decided to replay the original Ratchet and Clank and it's still fun. I had forgotten that the first game didn't have weapon leveling which seems like such a fundamental aspect of the games. Although it is interesting to see how much of the series' formula was established in that first one. Ratchet's character feels different too, he's just a nice boy in the newer ones. Insomniac is a pretty different studio nowadays and this game feels a lot less cinematic than their current output. It's kind of a bummer the series isn't as popular as is used to be but maybe it's for the best that they don't release as often as they used to, the games aren't 'that' different from each other.
