Not long ago, a PlayStation fan revealed they had successfully unlocked every possible trophy for the Ratchet and Clank series. While gamers are often grinding trophies in all sorts of PlayStation games, this monumental task accomplished by a Ratchet and Clank fan takes dedication to another level.
As a series, Ratchet and Clank has been around for a while. Starting back on the PlayStation 2 in 2002 with the original Ratchet and Clank, the titular Lombax and his robotic sidekick have managed to gain a dedicated fanbase. Since its inception, the series created by Insomniac Games has grown to include quite a few mainline installments, with the latest one being Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart for the PS5. In addition, many of these games include trophies on PlayStation for dedicated fans to unlock.
In a post on Reddit, a user known as sutela1 shared a screenshot of their PSN profile. As the image attests, the Reddit user had unlocked all the trophies available for the Ratchet and Clank series on PlayStation. The image revealed they had achieved the Platinum trophy for 10 different games. On top of this, they had managed to one hundred percent several games like Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando on multiple consoles, both on the PS3 and Vita. Based on the Reddit comments, the whole process of unlocking the trophies appears to have taken over one year and nine months, proving the amount of dedication this gamer possesses.
Beyond sharing an image of the list of achievements on Reddit, sutela1 provided some added context to the accomplishment in the comment section. For instance, they explained why not every game in the series was shown on the list. According to the Reddit user, several games in the Ratchet and Clank series, such as Tools of Destruction and Quest for Booty, were not included because they did not have trophies available to unlock on PlayStation. In addition to explaining this, they said Ratchet and Clank: Deadlocked was the easiest to complete, while the second and third installments were the most challenging, specifically on Vita.
Unsurprisingly, many gamers on the Gaming subreddit were impressed with this trophy accomplishment completed by sutela1. In fact, the post has already gained more than 1.1K upvotes, with this dedicated trophy hunter inspiring other fans to want to go back and check out some of the older games in the series. "I've only played the last two, I really wish I had known about the series back in the ps3 era!" one gamer commented.
While collecting every single trophy in the Ratchet and Clank series was no small task, sutela1 revealed they are not unfamiliar with trophy hunting. Based on comments from the gamer, they noted they had previously collected all the trophies available for the Assassin’s Creed series before Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla launched. It will be interesting to see if sutela1 will continue to unlock trophies whenever a new game in the Ratchet and Clank series is eventually released.
