Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart recently landed on the PlayStation 5 to glowing reviews, introducing a new generation of gamers to the series’ unique brand of weapons-based action platforming. Now, Ratchet & Clank are back in a dimension-hopping adventure that’s bigger and more ambitious than any its anthropomorphic hero duo have been through before. And while both series would go on to have success in the 2000s, Ratchet & Clank was the bigger winner, eventually spawning multiple sequels, a whole series of side stories, and even a full-length animated kids movie. Jak and Daxter targeted teens and young adults with a look that was edgier than most of its peers, but Ratchet & Clank proved that adorable anthropomorphic heroes would never go out of style.

After Sony’s marsupial mascot exchanged Sony exclusivity for multi-platform mediocrity in early 2000, the Japanese console maker turned to two mascot platformers to fill the bandicoot-shaped hole he left behind: Jak and Daxter and Ratchet & Clank.
