download ratchet and clank into the nexus ps5 for free

Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus starts with Ratchet & Clank aboard a prison ship escorting a prisoner to the Polaris guard. I bought the game for $15 years ago, so the short length is even less of an issue at that price, especially considering that I didn’t already own Quest for Booty so I got to play that too. Insomniac is thriving as a studio and was just purchased by Sony. I have the benefit, 8 years later, of knowing that there was another game on PS4 and there’s a PS5 title planned this year. At the time it seemed like Ratchet & Clank might be going out not with a bang but a whisper, especially considering where Insomniac was as a studio at that time.įor me, playing it in 2021, this game gave me a lot of what I wanted from a PS3 Ratchet & Clank title. It feels like a game that had its ambitions scaled back mid development and was patched together into salable state and shoved out the door. Into the Nexus itself seems abbreviated and like it should have had a lot more in it. It’s funny if you understand it!) There is a lot of story here, and a metric ton of fan service for people who like the series, but the main plot is disconnected from the past games and the way some fan favorites are treated probably upset quite a few people who were hoping for a continuation from prior games. Like many games in the Ratchet & Clank series on PS3 it has a frame rate that can tank when action is fast and furious (or fast and furrious…because he’s a Lombax, you see. The length is somewhat ameliorated by the $30 price tag (and it also came with Quest for Booty, a previous downloadable title) but waiting 4 years for a favorite series to return only to get a half-length game with 5 planets and only one substantial minigame (in a series that’s known for them) is a tough pill to swallow. It’s short, disconnected from most of the series, and lacking in some key Ratchet & Clank signatures chiefly exploration and variety. This was the first mainline Ratchet & Clank game in 4 long years after 2 disappointing spinoffs. I understand why fans didn’t love Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus when it came out in 2013.
