Ratchet & Clank games have evolved throughout the years and have gotten increasingly better. The 2016 version of the game is one of the best iterations of the franchise, and follows the story of the movie.

Sane Trilogy, is due to release at the end of this month, and contains a remastered version of all 3 original Crash games.
