About this episode
The episode discusses the game Saros as a spiritual successor to Ratchet & Clank and contrasts it with Akimbot.
DISCLOSURE: Kevin (The Golden Bolt) received an advance copy of Saros from PlayStation There are many spiritual successors to video games. Some are intentional homages, such as Akimbot, and others unintentionally capture specific essences and remind us of something we love. Saros reminds us why we love Ratchet & Clank. Akimbot...does not.
