Game Description
Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando is a bold evolution of one of PlayStation’s most iconic duos, catapulting players into a galaxy-spanning adventure that perfectly blends witty storytelling, fast-paced gunplay, and imaginative platforming. Developed by Insomniac Games, this second entry in the series introduces a refined gameplay formula, setting the stage for what would become one of Sony’s most beloved franchises.
Players reprise the role of Ratchet, the courageous lombax mechanic, and his robotic sidekick Clank, now working for a mega-corporation tasked with saving a mysterious planet. Their mission quickly escalates into a deeper conspiracy involving stolen technology, interstellar warfare, and a powerful new enemy. The duo’s journey is filled with humor, cinematic cutscenes, and explosive battles as they travel across diverse alien worlds in pursuit of justice—and a few bolts.
More than just a sequel, Going Commando reinvents the original’s formula with RPG-inspired progression systems, weapon upgrades, and deeper exploration mechanics. From gliding across molten landscapes to duking it out in galactic arena battles, the game keeps players engaged with a constant stream of new gadgets, environments, and creative challenges.
