Ratchet and Clank is a platform series from Sony Computer Entertainment. The main series games have all been developed by Insomniac Games, while spin-off titles have been developed by a handful of different teams.  The Ratchet and Clank franchise differentiates itself from most other platformers with its emphasis on action; gunfighting is a core mechanic, and there have also been numerous action-packed driving and flying sequences across the games.
