Play the Worst Ratchet & Clank on PS5, PS4 with PS Plus Premium 1

Ratchet & Clank games are rarely bad. There’s obviously incredible ones, like A Crack in Time, and then there’s middling ones, like Quest for Booty – but they’re almost always decent. PSP spin-off Secret Agent Clank, along with tower defence title Full Frontal Assault, is probably the worst entry in the series.

Released in 2008 by High Impact Games, this actually has a fun premise. Most of the gameplay features Clank in a James Bond spoof-style setting, but there are also levels where you’ll play as Ratchet and Captain Qwark. You’ll unlock a variety of gadgets you can use in combat, including cufflink bombs and a electric umbrella.

Your goal is to break Ratchet out of prison, after he’s falsely accused of a crime he didn’t commit. There’s a variety of different levels throughout the five hour campaign, but the majority focus on the traditional mix of third-person shooting and platforming that fans of the franchise will already be familiar with.

While it does hit all the staples you’d expect of a Ratchet & Clank release, it feels small and inconsequential, largely owing to Clank’s limited arsenal. But playing through its short storyline on PS5 and PS4 should bring some entertainment, especially as it’s going to be free to download with PS Plus Premium from 17th September.
