Just finished the original trilogy for the first time in years and I have thoughs,

I have never liked the first game . I've always found it boring and slow. The weapons sucks and were just unfun. The platforming was needlessly hard and worst of all ratchet was an ahole. I could keep going but this isn't about that I used to think it's about home my revisit went.

The first ratchet and clank game an incredibly fun adventure. Idk why I hated this game as a kid. The weapons are fun except the drone devices and the cost of the ryno. The platforming is fun and really liked the clank sections as the break up the pace nicely. I really enjoyed the exploration and secrets that seemed to be hidden all over every map. The game feels like and adventure and our too heroes aren't friends yet and it's really fun to see the transformation of the 2. Even the derek fight was incredibly. This game somehow makes it feel like your overwhelmed at every level and it's great. One wrong move and you could fail. It's great I love it!

Going commando is pretty much what I remember. Frustrating controls and weapons that are fun but somehow boring at the same time. The upgrade system is cool but my favorite weapon is the lava gun. This game is fine. Like it's needlessly hard at times. It's way too long and i thought it was good as a kid and my opinion has t changed. It's good but like not great.

Up your arsenal was the biggest disappointment. I remember how much I loved this game as a kid and yet going back to it I couldn't find that enjoyment. There's soooo much wrong here and so many weird decisions.

Why is the max weapon level 8 and not 10?

Whis does the slingshot sometimes not work?

How does clank know about things that happened when he wasn't with ratchet?

Why are there 2 shields?

Why do I have to travel to a planet to find slim where there's literally a space they could have had him on the phonix. That would have made it easier to access him and also pretty funny. But nah I gotta travel to that planet just to unlock him.

The assault maps suck. Why do these exist? They feel half backed and do nothing but make me wanna play anything else.

Why is the ship so bad? Why is it so hard to hit anything?

The car thing is even worse and I chose to use my charge boots instead.

Then there's the final boss. I managed to beat him first try. I beat him so quickly that I couldn't believe there wasn't more. It Legit feels like there should be more but no that's really it. It's better than the protopet but it's a far cry from the derek or vox fight. (I know vox was after this game but still)

While I'm glad I played these games again after so long part of me whishes I had stopped after the second one. Up your arsenal has held a special place for me and going back and seeing it again kinda took that away. Idk I just wanted to lay out my thoughts.

Sorry this post is written weird I'm kind just writing my raw thoughts down.
