Utilizing these mods can be the difference between scraping by in a boss battle and really blowing them to tiny little pieces in a blaze of glory. Each gun has a handful of tweaks in areas like spread, speed or detonation.
Weapon quick select is in fine form, and a small portion of your arsenal is made up of Constructo weapons, which can in turn be modified by collecting Constructo mods. For the rest of us that feel the puzzles never really get quite hard enough, there are some challenges to be hand by revisiting Sigmund in the Great Clock.Ĭontrol wise, you are offered three different schemes, and Ratchet aficionados will want to tweak this right out of the gate because the default control system is not classic Ratchet. If you’re an embarrassment to puzzle solvers everywhere, you can skip the puzzle, forfeit the prize, and move on. It sounds daunting in print, but by starting small the game will have you slowing time and solving complex puzzles with seconds to spare. By replaying them simultaneously and building upon each recording you solve the puzzle to open a door. Using time pads you record Clank’s movements recording up to four actions at a time (depending on the complexity of the puzzle). In addition to some platforming and combat, the shining star of Clank gameplay (and A Crack in Time as a whole) is the temporal puzzles, which practically warrant a game of their own. In A Crack in Time you play as Clank the Powerful: you are in your element, you have a weapon, you have powers. I was once on the “anti-Clank” team, which I attribute to the simple fact that in the past playing as Clank meant playing as the weak link. Two, most of the gameplay is still spent on the Ratchet side of things. For one, what Clank time there is, is great and serves the story. Those wary of all that Clank time need not fear. Admittedly, if you’re new to the franchise you will still miss out on some of the goofy nuance, and you probably won’t have tears in your eyes like I did in the final chapter, but then you probably never cared to begin with. Picking up where the downloadable Quest for Booty left off, Captain Quark catches new players up on what they may have missed. From the RYNO V to the scenes of Ratchet and Clank past in Clank’s memory banks, there is plenty of comfort food to be gobbled up. That’s what A Crack in Time is about really, challenging your perceptions of Clank, and what that means for “Ratchet and Clank”.Īllgeier called A Crack in Time “a love letter to the franchise”, a sentiment evident throughout. A Crack in Time effectively does everything Ratchet fans demand from an action platformer, and more, with a dash of open world and whole lot of revolutionary notions of “sidekick”. Ratchet and Clank adheres to certain rules like a wacky universe, goofy monsters, and weapons that are equal parts doom harbinger and harlequin. There are few things better than an indie game, and I delight in forays into the unexpected, yet here I am loving every inch of Ratchet and Clank which is, well, expected. Everything you already like about Ratchet and Clank, upgraded.
