When you look at Ratchet & Clank PS4 six years later, you might just assume it was a bad game, as it's been the subject of more scorn and put under a larger microscope than any other game in the franchise. A game made to tie into 2016's Ratchet & Clank movie and a retelling of the original R&C's story, Ratchet PS4 quickly became the most successful R&C game to date, a game that was well-liked by both critics and fans alike...and it just as quickly soured in the eyes of many other fans due to its struggles adapting the original 2002 game's story. What led to this game's shift in perception - and more importantly, why did Ratchet PS4 turn out the way that it did? With more information about both the Ratchet & Clank game and movie's production history, the hazy picture quickly clears up. This Ratchet & Clank PS4 retrospective will shine a full light on the production behind a game that failed at its chief goals, and was still a massive, breakthrough success. This is gaming's most successful failure: Ratchet & Clank PS4.
