These portions are a lot more fun than you’d think, thanks to borrowing the gravity mechanic from VVVVVV in all the right ways.
The “Nether” theme goes a bit further, as Ratchet’s robot pal Clank is outfitted with the ability to go spelunking in the Netherverse, which are straight 2D platforming distractions.
Not only do they look formidable, but they feel that way too in-game, making them worthy and interesting adversaries to fight particularly on higher difficulties. These aren’t just cosmetic neon purple skins slopped onto regular enemies either - the nether aspect lends itself to a wide variety of enemies, most of which teleport around and keep you guessing constantly.
These beings from another dimension start leaking out into the galaxy at large, and the game shifts gears to entirely focus on the Nether situation. What starts off as a typical space romp gets real Lovecraftian partway into the game, and that’s when the “Nether” aspect really takes off.
