Unlike the original game, no objectives require the player to pay bolts to proceed. Also, not all planets from the original release return. What also has been changed is the order in which objectives are completed and gadgets are obtained. Many of the planets visited follow a near-identical level layout to the original game, with a few minor scenario and layout changes (such as Novalis, Aridia, and Rilgar), while other levels have been changed more significantly while keeping most elements and enemies of the original (such as Veldin, Kerwan, and Quartu). Objectives normally require the player to progress through a linear section using gadgets to traverse obstacles and puzzles, or using weapons to defeat enemies. However, some objectives, on some planets, may require use of a gadget that must be obtained on another planet. On these planets, they must complete a set of objectives that lead to finding infobots containing coordinates to new planets, allowing them to advance the story. Using their ship, Ratchet and Clank travel to various planets, which can be revisited at any time. Once depleted, the game returns them to the nearest checkpoint. The player has an upgradeable nanotech stat that represents their health. Having Clank on his back allows Ratchet to make use of the Heli-Pack and the Thruster-Pack to reach new heights once these items have been obtained. Plus, he wields his OmniWrench and an arsenal of returning and new upgradeable weapons. Ratchet has a core moveset retained from previous entries, with an entirely new control scheme. The player controls Ratchet, a lombax mechanic from Veldin, who carries his friend Clank as a backpack. Ratchet & Clank is a third-person three-dimensional action-adventure game with elements of platforming, shooting, and puzzle solving in the vein of the original, updated with gameplay elements returning from previous games in the franchise.
Holocards earned throughout the game contain many references to the story and lore of past entries in the series' history. Many planets are updated versions of the original entry, with planets, in some cases, being altered in level structure, merged with a planet that did not appear, or an entirely new addition.
Most gadgets and minigames remain intact from the original, albeit updated slightly.
