A Complete Critique of the ENTIRE Ratchet & Clank Series
The Ratchet & Clank series is one that I hold dearly, but as the series has continued over the decades, it's been difficult to maintain the enthusiasm. With every new entry, the personality, charm, and overall quality of the series has deteriorated, until what remains is a gaudy and overproduced shell with several times the noise but nothing left to say. Today, we're going over every mainline series entry to map this decline - from humble origins to the modern day - and to go into detail about what's been lost to diminishing returns over the years, and what creative choices have left the current state of the series so creatively barren.
This is a compilation of all my previous videos critiquing the Ratchet & Clank series, reedited and including both revised and additional new commentary, for those who prefer taking their content in a single course.
