These moments of murkiness make the colourful sections even more inviting, with some sequences serving as a reminder of the North American developer’s outstanding ability to render an animated skyline. You’ll also slip through sewers and spend time fighting flying Gargathons on the foggy Planet Thram. One section sees you venturing through an abandoned children’s home, with the gloomy corridors casting some Dead Space-esque shadows against the drawing decorated walls. While the adventure offers a largely light-hearted foray through some new (and old) landscapes, though, there are definitely some darker moments throughout the campaign. There’s still room to return, however, should the developer decide that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. The narrative even finds a moment to ponder upon the Future timeline’s main thread – the fuzzy-haired hero’s desire to locate his Lombax ancestors – and (almost) ties a tight bow around the protagonist’s personal arc. You never really get to see enough of some of the stars, but a leisurely stroll through a museum on Meridian City towards the conclusion of the adventure at least gives you an opportunity to look back on adventures gone by. It’s fun, though, with classic characters popping up all over the place in order to play the fan-service card.

The co-operative action of Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One and tower defence twist of Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault has been replaced by a solo jaunt across five planets, each bursting with collectibles, colourful scenery, and more Thugs-4-Hire groupies than you could ever want to kill.
