History YMMV / RatchetAndClankAll4One

* AssPull: Regardless of it being first being brought up in [[ComicBook/RatchetAndClankComic the preceding comic]], the reveal that Lawrence teleported Dr. Nefarious away before his space station exploded at the end of ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureACrackInTime A Crack in Time]]'' is still a huge retcon that didn't sit well even with the fans who were excited to see him return. Not only was it not foreshadowed in the prior game at all, it also [[OutOfCharacterMoment doesn't even make sense]] considering it had been well-established that Lawrence held great disdain for the doctor and only stuck around to collect a paycheck (something that's even brought up in this very game). Series writer T.J. Fixman ''did'' write the previous game's ending with Nefarious' death in mind, but ExecutiveMeddling forced him to undo it regardless.

Unfortunately a JustifiedTrope, however, as series writer T.J. Fixman ''did'' write the previous game's ending with Nefarious' death in mind, but ExecutiveMeddling forced him to undo it regardless.

* FoeYay: There seems to be some between Qwark and Nefarious, and Clank seems awfully eager to work with the good doctor as well.

* CompleteMonster: [[TheDogWasTheMastermind The Loki Master]] is the true mastermind of the Collectors. Hailing from a destroyed planet, the Loki Master arrived on planet Magnus and possessed the body of Mr. Dinkles, the eventual pet of Dr. Frumpus Croid. Betraying Croid, the Master took his colleague Nevo as a hostage, threatening his life to have him work for the Loki Master. Stealing dangerous creatures from throughout the galaxy, the Loki Master dumped them on Magnus, altering various habitats to suit them better, devastating the ecosystem while also having its Collectors terrorize the inhabitants of the planet to keep them in line for over a hundred years. Its master plan is to use Croid's technology to force its own and its fellow Lokis beings into more dangerous creatures with the goal of leaving Magnus and [[OmnicidalManiac ripping the universe apart]] until there is only dust left.

* FridgeBrilliance: When Ratchet asks [[AlmightyJanitor The Plumber]] if he has any CrypticAdvice on how to beat [[spoiler: Nevo]], he say he doesn't have that kind of advice, and then gives a knowing wink. [[spoiler: This is {{Foreshadowing}} of who the [[BaitAndSwitchBoss real villain]] is]].

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The co-op focus and lack of camera controls and proper platforming sections may very well offend long-time fans of the series.

* JumpedTheShark / BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Ratchet and Clank have both [[ChronicHeroSyndrome saved the galaxy something like 6 times]]. And then the game is making a ButtMonkey out of Ratchet with a [[CloudCuckooLander senile doctor]] who claims to be a [[BlatantLies Lombax Whisperer]], despite both speaking perfectly intelligible English or in-universe Common. It's supposed to be funny, but [[FridgeLogic consider the fact that Ratchet doesn't speak Lombax]] on account of being [[ParentalAbandonment sent away from his home planet Fastoon when the Cragmites invaded]].
** This definitely belongs in the YMMV tab, but those are the wrong tropes. KickTheDog doesn't exactly fit since Croid didn't really mean anything by it (and we can respect the fact that he's insane), but the only other thing that comes to mind is TheWoobie, and that's not right either.
