However, the series’ trademark Challenge Mode makes a much welcomed return here, and upgrading all of your weapons by using them on enemies and applying Raritanium (not to mention unlocking the devastating RYNO VII) will keep you playing long beyond the initial story’s close. All of the fat has been trimmed away here, and every one of those 6 hours is jam-packed with incredible level design and refreshing gameplay. You’ll be able to complete your initial playthrough of the game in about 6 hours or so, and that somehow proves to be the perfect amount of time to get your Ratchet & Clank fix in. It’s true that Into the Nexus is a much shorter game experience than most other main entry Ratchet & Clank games like Tools of Destruction or A Crack in Time, but this length is completely by design, and it more than works in here in this context.
You’ve got a classic battle arena level with multiple tournament cups to power through (the Destructapalooza), and even a mass crystal-collecting level (Gargathorn horns here) that we haven’t really seen since the days of Up Your Arsenal. For instance, you’ve got your world exploration component back once more, with a dozen cleverly-hidden Gold Bolts to find throughout the game’s five main planets. Well let me just say that Into the Nexus is exactly what old-time Ratchet & Clank fans have been waiting for, as the game manages to incorporate nearly every fan-favorite gameplay mechanic from earlier games, with still some room left over to experiment with a few exciting new ideas.
For starters, from the very first day of the game’s reveal, Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus has been billed as a return-to-form for the dynamic gun-toting duo, and taking the series back to its platforming roots for the first time since 2009’s A Crack in Time.
