I liked this one but didn't love it. You pretty much hit all the right points, good and bad. The only thing I have to add was how bizarre the story was about those two characters dying and Ratchet's guilt where we never saw them much in the last two games. Like they can't kill Qwark off, but his death would have had meaning and weight since we spent so much time with him. Here you only feel a little bad because it makes Ratchet sad.

As for your backlog, if you have any Bioware game made before Dragon Age 2 or Pokémon game I recommend those. 

I actually loved the time pad puzzles haha

Haha, I love this game so much. I also am not a huge fan of how they're split most of the game but everything else is basically my perfect R&C game. 
I've also had issues with ants. Especially when I have a drill weekend, get back, and see where they all wanted to crawl to this time 

Stage Select:

3. Halo- This game didn't just put the Xbox on the map, it defined the FPS genre for two console generations. And unlike most launch games, its still fun to play today.

2. Super Mario World- Best Mario game. Suck it Justin

1. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild- I couldn't put this down for over 80 hours. One of my favorite games ever.

Stat Wars Kotor no question. It's my favorite game ever and everything the new trilogy should have been. I can't count how many times I've played this game. Also much more culturally significant. Put BioWare on the map and made every game put in moral choices. 

Like most Ratchet and games, I loved ToD but prefer A Crack in Time. That's my favorite 

Stage Select:

3. Every company having a mascot- It was fun having someone representing what a video game company was about. Mario, Sonic, Crash, and Mega Man all had their own style and were good indicators of how their company made games. Then Microsoft made Master Chief, a mascot with no face, and everyone stopped caring. Who's EA's mascot? A loot box?

2. Every big publisher trying every genre- It was neat seeing every company have their own take on a genre. Square and Enix didn't just make RPGs, Capcom gave us Breath of Fire, Nintendo made Earthbound, Sega had Phantasy Star, and Konami had Suikoden. When Resident Evil came out we got to see Silent Hill and Parasite Eve 2. Now it feels like they don't care about giving their own spin on a genre or idea but just chasing a trend to make money off of it. 

1. Sega consoles- When Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo design a piece of hardware, they base it on what they think will make money. When Sega made one, they based it on what they thought was cool. It's obvious why Sega doesn't make consoles with that mentality, but I miss ahead of their time ideas like the Sega Channel, Sega CD, and VMU.

Cage Match:

I haven't played either but Downpour is the newer game and is made by Konami so Homecoming gets my vote. Because once HD consoles hit, the newer the Konami game, the more likely it is to be awful.

I've been wanting to replay a Ratchet game but may just wait for the new one announced for PS5.

I wouldn't call it bad but it wasn't good. It also came out when the series reinvented itself with SotN and a year before the Gameboy got its second wind with Pokémon, neither of which helped its reputation 

Yeah that's because Konami wants everyone to forget about it. But it's the only one to Star a female Belmont which I thought was really cool.

Stage Select: 

3. Church of the Atom (Fallout 3)- I love how no matter what you tell them, they refuse to believe the nuclear bomb they worship is dangerous. You can even blow them all up with it!

2. The Enkindlers (Mass Effect)- Its fun seeing the ancient alien religion theory taken to this extreme. Even more hilarious in Mass Effect 3 when they actually get to meet Javik. 

1. Pokémon Gods- I've been a Pokemon fan since day one so it's been fun seeing the religion get created as the series went on. Legendary Pokémon initially felt like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster, then myths like how a Pokémon resurrected others or three created land, sea and air and are in eternal conflict. Then Diamond and Pearl just threw out Arceus, the god of everything and now doesn't try to be subtle about religion. My favorite part of the game's story now is seeing how the new legendary ones tie into the region's own myths and religion.

Cage Match:

Super Mario World was the first video game I ever played and still my favorite Mario. It wins.
