He said he disliked recycled content and generic dungeons right in that write-up and you think it's a good idea to recommend him a game whose "dungeons" entirely consist of randomized areas?

There's one of the two medicore-ish games I was wondering about down, though. The praise to dungeon design probably explains why the other game is even higher, because I'm playing through it at the moment and it sure doesn't have much else going for it!


Berseria? if that's what you're talking about, then yeah, it has some boring dungeons.

Remember that even though I universally dislike some things, this list encompasses 10 years! I'm 30 now, and I turned 20 in 2008. My tastes in gaming change, and this list merely ranks the games based on my current opinion of them. Who knows, that can change next year! There's also the potential of replaying some of these, and liking them more than the first time. This isn't directed at you specifically, just a statement.

55. Ratchet and Clank
Original Release: 2016
Developer: SCEA
Platform: PS4

The first three Ratchet and Clank games on the PS2 are some of my favorites. From what I've played afterwards, everything was sorta meh. Sony decided to go back to the roots and attempt a full on remake of the original, rather than creating a completely new game. Why is that, you ask?

Yeah someone's brainy idea was to wide release a movie so they had to tie a game in along with it. Both are based on the original game, with some significant story changes and the addition of Paul Giamatti, John Goodman, and Sylvester Stallone. The movie did about as well as you'd expect of any video game movie, but the game was a whole lot better. Maybe Sony needs to realize that a big part of what makes R&C fun is the gameplay, not the story?!

As a remake, Ratchet and Clank PS4 disappoints. Plenty of content that I remember from the original was completely cut and some planets were changed. That, or I simply grew out of it. Fortunately, the devs took a few lessons from the shoot-ier games of the franchise and applied them here. R&C has less platforming than the original but more running and gunning, and the combat is FUN. Sometimes you're completely surrounding by endless mooks and it's a whole lot of fun when you get to play around with weapons and switch them on the fly to get rid of them all. One stage allows you to use a jetpack to float around a giant arena and chase around a boss while mooks attack you from all directions; I know it doesn't sound fun, but the game makes it so! Everything else about the remake, gameplay wise, works to its advantage: the controls are smooth, the graphics are incredible, and I believe there were a few more Clank sections. I just wish Sony took the time to turn this into a completely new R&C instead of a remake.
