The locales of Into the Nexus' five planets From a flooded city to a murky swampland, the planets featured in the latest Ratchet & Clank contain a lot of variety. Into the Nexus has you exploring planets, each featuring exotic locales of some sort that the heroic duo visit. The scenes are enjoyable to watch, and if you're not digging the story, they can simply be skipped.Īfter deviations in the series' formula, the iconic Ratchet & Clank gameplay of titles predating All 4 One and Full Frontal Assault returns after a long absence, albeit in a much more bite-size form. Into the Nexus' story contains the trademark humor the series is known for.

Now with a mission of revenge, Ratchet and Clank must track down both Vendra and her brother before their plan destroys the entire universe. In the turmoil of all of this, longtime friends of Ratchet and Clank, Cronk and Zephyr lose their robotic lives. No, the ship's systems malfunction and Vendra's brother stages a jailbreak with the help of some hired goons. Of course, if this went well, we wouldn't really have a game on our hands. Our tale starts off with Ratchet and Clank aboard a prison ship, armed with the task of safely delivering a wily criminal, Vendra Prog, to a detention center. Does Ratchet's latest tread too much familiar ground, or does this lombax know some new tricks? With Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus, Insomniac Games gives fans of the franchise the type of gameplay the series is known for- and with a smaller price to boot. While these alterations to the structure of the series were admirable for taking big chances, they weren't really what fans wanted. The duo has also done their share of disappointing players, notably with titles like Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One and Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault. For over ten years now Ratchet the lombax and his robotic buddy Clank have enamored PlayStation gamers with top shelf platforming action.
