Date played: June 24th
Platform: PS4
My daughter and I have been enjoying our vacation time together, doing a ton of fun activities together. This also means that we were pretty low on energy yesterday, so we stayed home and did some more quiet stuff, including a level of Ratchet & Clank.
Ratchet and the Galactic Rangers assault enemy headquarters on planet Quartu. Visually, this level was a lot less interesting than the previous ones, mainly because it's set on a dark planet filled with machinery and a general industrial look. Thankfully, the action was still great. After a brief platforming section as Ratchet, Clank had his time to shine. There was a rather long section where Clank had to use bots as bridges, jumping platforms and power supplies to progress. The puzzles were interesting and really fun.
Then, Ratchet got into a huge boss battle against Mrs. Zurkon, a giant robot that is responsible for the creation of my favorite character in the whole series, Mr. Zurkon. This battle was challenging! Mrs. Zurkon hovers in the air and shoots out highly dangerous projectiles. She also summons dozens of Mr. Zurkons and can build herself a powerful shield.
Thankfully, I had my jetpack ready to go, so most of this was an aerial battle. I used a combination of the Groovitron dance ball, the Warmonger rocket and Mr. Zurkon to deal most of the damage. The Warmonger is a very satisfying weapon to use. It hits really fucking hard, it's accurate and it creates pretty explosions. I died once, but was successful on the second attempt.
After destroying Mrs. Zurkon, the Galactic Rangers discovered that the bad guys were planning on destroying a planet, then rebuilding it for their own needs with the help of a device called the deplanetizer. Of course, this meant going to the deplanetizer and taking care of business on site. When we got there, there was an aerial ship battle waiting for us. I fought a giant spaceship by firing missiles at it while dodging it's attacks and destroying it's missiles. It was very pretty and lots of fun to play. Next time, we'll try to destroy the device!
