Ratchet > Sly >>> Jak (mostly because only the second game was good)

>>11796614 (OP)
Best 1 game - Jak

Best 2 game - Sly

Best 3 game - Ratchet

Sly > Ratchet > Jak

>>11796614 (OP)
Sly, because it's the one most faithful to the platform genre. Though Ratchet games are probably a little better overall.

>>11796614 (OP)
Are any of those challenging?

>>11796832
Ratchet & Clank 1 and Jak II for sure. The others aren't necessarily easy but I wouldn't say they're challenging

>>11796832
Jak games are on the harder side. Sly's on the easier side. Ratchet's are balanced.

It doesn't make sense to consider Ratchet and clank a trilogy. While 2 & 3 are very similar, 1 and deadlocked are both notably different than 2 & 3.
>>11796621
personally I really enjoyed Sly 1 but bounced off of sly 2 (so I never bothered with 3)

>>11796834
The glider segments on Ratchet 2 are probably just as hard as the underwater segments in 1

>>11796614 (OP)
Ratchet was the best and most consistent. Sly was good but a bit inconsistent. Jak was pure Naughty Dog trendchasing drek after the first entry which was solid.

Jak and it's not even close. Also Jak 3 was the best entry.

Well I'm not a zoomer so I was already grown up when these games came out. I've played the first of each of them.

Sly 1 > Jak 1 >>>> Ratchet 1

But even Ratchet 1 was not bad

>>11796621
Sly 2 fucking sucks

>>11796832
I still haven't resumed Jak II because of a certain sewer level that they forgot to add an autosave to despite the icon showing up in a cutscene. Sadly the decompile doesn't fix it.
