the newer ratchet & clank games play better than the old ones but it's weird to me that as they grew more story-heavy their stories got actively more disjointed than a game where the plot was just "a group of dorks form a super hero team to fight an evil mad scientist and help their washed-up old hero regain his self-confidence"

i only really played deadlocked and a crack in time though

Most of the Ratchet and Clank games have better done stories than the remake, but the actual original game was kind of mixed at best. It had some good story bit but Ratchet was kind of an irritating rear end in a top hat and Clank was kind of a boy scout buzzkill. The writing was never the reason to play the games and the series in general has always been wildly uneven in that regard but the original has not aged well and is weird to go back to.

It was aimed at tech companies in general really. WD2 likes rightfully making GBS threads on Silicon Valley. The main villain is even a parody of the out of touch tech millionaires like Zuckerburg or Musk.

If the game didn't come out pre-Trump I'm sure it would have satirized how tech companies love enabling Nazis too.

The very first WD2 mission is 'gently caress Martin Shkreli' which is real good.

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
I didn't even know Sly 4 existed. I didn't like Sly 2 as much as the first one and I never bothered playing the third.

Blume essentially wants to make their own version of Arsenal Gear and both series have spider tanks, definitely checks out.

WD2 made it uncomfortably clear how data gathered online can be used in discriminatory practices, too

i mean this is all public knowledge anyway but the way the game shoved it in my face made it click a little better

It did, but it was way too on the nose to be either good or funny. Brevity and subversion is the soul of a good satire. The Martin Shkreli mission might as well have been a Bill Clinton joke in a Working Designs game. It's why Your Character Regularly Searches For Elfen Leid Porn is a great joke, but that mission is not

The thing about W_D2 is that it tries so hard, so loving hard, it loops all the way back from being embarrassing to actually being enjoyable.
