The Best Planet in every Ratchet & Clank Game

[@tristanmereles1485]

Thank you for emphasizing the soundtrack. The early games were just banger after banger after banger.

[@MarioMastar]

I still bop to Novalis, the first stage in the first Ratchet and Clank game (besides Veldin which is more a tutorial and plays a shortened remix of Pokitaru's theme, which still works well), but then you land in Novalis and MAN it's a crime how short that level is cause that song is an ABSOLUTE banger! Also Maktar Resort. Being kind of a remix of the BTS station from the first game with with more going on in the melody. Instant slot in my MP3 player. That was a glow up!

[@totalradicalness]

That was the problem with the movie game. The soundtrack felt like generic whimsical nonsense

[@AlexGaming-mx7sd]

Like the soundtracks, this video is a banger

[@mediokay508]

Savali was also great for bringing us new Lombax lore.

[@MarioMastar]

Yeah, though I can't be the only one who's really upset that there's zero mention of female Lombaxes for like 6 games straight. They made ZERO mention of Ratchet's mother, and it was heart wrenching to find out that it's because one of the main developers was an extreme mysogynist who didn't like the idea of giving a female character prominence..the same reason Angela Cross was so heavily erased from the lore despite having a really cool plot twist of a story and basically being Rivet before Rivet (but WAY more confident and less...... bratty.... yeah, the female hating developer made Rivet whiney because he personally didn't like the idea of a strong female character as was originally planned for her. Explaining the whole "I hate Kit and I don't trust robots despite being a cyborg myself" parts that really annoyed a lot of fans.

R&C: Umbris - Qwark's HQ R&C2: Siberius - Frozen Base R&C3: Zeldrin - Crash Site | In my opinion, the Kerwan revisit in UYA is better than its original counterpart. Deadlocked/Gladiator: Dreadzone Station R&C:SM: Kalidon - Mechanoid Facility I'd have to replay the other games to figure out my favourite planets, as I've really only played them once to get the platinum trophy and that's it.

[@imamradilicu]

i agree with rac2 siberius is so underrated

[@MarioMastar]

@@imamradilicu In a game full of banger planets, yeah. Heck even the worst planets like Snivilek and Oozla are still like 7/10 at worst. and despite him putting Gremlin as his least favorite, I actually like it a lot. But yeah that train section leading to the boss fight in Siberius definitely needs respect.

Thran asteroid field in up your arsenal is good great soundtrack. My most played Ratchet and clank game and the first.

[@Unimaginably_Bingus]

Personally, I think Ardolis really stands for both R&C ToD and R&C rift apart, the banger soundtrack when I went into the cave to get a new gagdet is amazing, I really love how pirate base 2 sounds, it's familiar to pirate of the carabien

[@CasualFehPlayer-rf6sl]

I think Full frontal assault is underrated. It's very short, but the few levels are very well done.

[@Dannydumal]

i love the novalis planet in the oringinal ratchet and clank.

[@MarioMastar]

WAY too short to have arguably the best song in the series...or at least top 5. Novalis stands on it's theme alone!

[@jojogape]

2:30 I agree, but it's also so ironic that the best level in the game is also the buggiest. My goodness, is this level broken but I love it so much.

I’m one of the weirdos who was impatient with the Ratchet levels in Crack in Time because I absolutely LOVED the Clank levels in that game. One of the only games where the Clank levels were actually fun!!

[@MarioMastar]

Nah they COOKED with the Clank puzzles. they were genuinely fun to me as well. I'm really glad they kept that up with Rift apart cause the "Possibilies" puzzles were also pretty fun. I think Clank sections really shine more when they stop trying to be watered down Ratchet sections and focus on puzzle platforming and intellectual puzzles cause it fits Clank's nature more. Though my favorite thing in Crack in Time was honestly flying around in space landing on the mini planets to do the Zoni challenges while listening to that nice space house music. Just...felt nostalgic to me.

[@MinuHex]

Here's a real hot take, my favourite planet in Into the Nexus was the first proper planet you explore. I like the worldbuilding with the orphanage, even if it was a small portion of the map.

I think Dobbo would me my pick for GC. Level is super fun, plentu of different things to do, inspired level an art design, good score, nice difficulty increase from the previous. Actually, DObbo was so good it was considered by Insomniac the ben benchmark on how to create a Ratchet game

[@Nightmare-kn6ee]

Nexus probably would or been more fun if you actually did have to go into the Nexus after Mr. Eye gets defeated that girl gets possessed and instead of surrending, she attacks her brother and escapes forcing Ratchet and Clank to travel into the nexus after her with three or four more planets.

What I love about Sovali in RA is the Lorbs, hearing about the different dimensions that we can confirm exist in the R&C multiverse: Sly Cooper, Jak & Daxter, Knack, IQ Intelligent Qube, and Little Big Planet.

[@MarioMastar]

Reminds me of how they implied Angela Cross is actually from Rivet's dimension as well. In a blink and you miss it dialogue, Rivet mentions her teaming up to escape Zordoon prison and wonders how she's doing. Finally I guess giving closure to at least the fan base's favorite female lombax (cause the developers apparently hated her..... and the story about how they felt about her is quite disgusting.... "one of the lead developers didn't like the idea of a strong female character cause he believed females should be submissive and lost in an action packed game. Not the main driving force of the mission"

[@gumerzambrano]

Excellent video man. Really need to go back and play Ratchet 2 and 3

[@zeroman0460]

Ok how about "The Worst Planet in every Ratchet & Clank Game"? I only properly played Ratchet 2 and Ratchet 3. Ratchet 2 is honestly the Prison Planet; The Clank Section and *look* another Wrench! Section was just enjoyable especially when the plumber pulls out the Qwark Figure from the Pipes. Ratchet 3 has to be Thran Asteroid Belt. Qwark's Hideout is a really fun challenge and I am very used to the Ice Physics, personally beating the living heck out of Qwark's Robots is awesome. Oh and the Clank Section there is by far my most favorite out of them all.

[@nergalshagrath6667]

Good video. The original soundtracks were incredibly made. Feels like they lose the soul later on tho. I remember pokitaru resort a lot from rac 1, that mf weapons facility was hilarious with the robot tour, … uya actually doesnt stand out for me anymore. In Rac Dl lol, obv its the dread station, but the third tier boss and that entire section leading up to them was mega fun. I also frikkin love swarmer soccer. If i could even remember actual stages other than the two demo stages for tod/ acit, id provide an answer but i really don’t remember much of those games cause i played them for the story unlike when i was a kid and play rac 1-4 just to play them

[@MarioMastar]

Naughty dog moving on really was the nail. Not sure what it was from there but Insomniac just kind of lost touch of what Ratchet and Clank is supposed to be about....at least lore wise, the gameplay still always slaps.

It really depends on if you like combat or exploration more honestly. Tools and GC had more focus on exploration and platforming, while Crack in time and Up your Arsenel focused more on combat and short platforming missions. Crack in Time is the only game in the series besides the first that doesn't have a planet where you just travel around collecting stuff to turn into bolts, and Up your Arsenel has the absolute WORST one with the sewer. (I never played the short ones or the PSP ones though sadly.... but even Deadlock's mission focused gameplay had lots of exploration elements).
