RatchetHit a glitch where I got a piece of armor from a pocket dimension and then died before leaving the dimension, when it reloaded me at the checkpoint it acted like I hadn't acquired the armor but the armor was gone. So it totally fucked my 100% and it was also the XP+20% buff piece, so I was stuck with XP+10%.
Otherwise, it's a good popcorn entertainment game that looks incredible. I thought the best part was the middle section. The beginning of the game is kind of weak with a short tutorial world, a terrible swamp, a boring paced desert, a battle arena. But then the middle planets are all pretty good stuff. Towards the end the revisiting planets and nothing but non-stop combat is kind of zzz, but the prison planet is good so I wouldn't say the end is weak, just the middle is the strongest.
I think my biggest issue with the game and why it's nothing but popcorn entertainment is this has to be the easiest Ratchet & Clank game ever made by a good amount. The weapons are pretty good with a lot of damage over time units you can set and between the speed shoes and the
insanely huge i-frame dash that is like wtf way too much you have so much firepower and mobility combat is a joke.
The game even gives you infinite health & ammo options in the cheat menu
before you finish the game wtf, not that I used those but still lol
Same with the platforming. Between the speed shoes and dash you have really good distance mobility but the platforming never requires any of it. It's all really simple platforming as if you didn't have these really good platforming abilities to do more complex and challenging platforming. It's fun but kind of boring in the platforming.
Also I turned on the damage numbers cheat and never went back. I think seeing how much damage stuff does is never a bad thing, helps you play more efficient.
And story-wise it was fine, but uh shouldn't the finally battle have been

Nefarious starting his dimension conquest by going to the Lombax home planet to take it over and Ratchet & Rivet have to stop it and save the Lombaxes? I mean it felt like the story set that up for the whole thing and then it didn't happen. I guess they just are afraid of showing that dimension yet and are saving it for more sequels.
Also some of the weapons take forever to lvl up. Ricochet is colorful and has its uses but holy hell is it slow and takes forever to level. Some with the bombadier bomb.
Solid 3/4 star game
*edit* just finished the credits and my save says 100% wtf
