Released in 2002 for PlayStation 2 and later adapted for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, Ratchet & Clank introduced us to a galactic third-person adventure to save the home planet of these two characters. Throughout the different planets the player visits, the characters obtain a wide range of weapons and equipment to defeat numerous enemies and solve puzzles. The game was received positively, standing out in graphics and gameplay along with the comic and funny style of the characters, which endured throughout the multiple installments of Ratchet & Clank that have come out so far.
