There's a clear line in the sand marking the different eras of Ratchet & Clank: There's the PS2 Saga, the PS3's Future Saga, and then after 2010 things get...weird. The "bad batch" era of Ratchet & Clank only makes up two of the worst-received games in the R&C series, All 4 One and Full Frontal Assault, but these two games are sometimes considered the first steps in the downfall of the franchise. Looking back a decade later with more insight into their development, was the Spinoff Era as bad as many fans say, or are they hated more for being different than truly "bad?" These are the Blunder Years of Ratchet & Clank...or are they?
