I'm playing Stardew Valley right now. It's really addictive, and just so much fun to play. It's kind of like Harvest Moon, but it's own thing at the same time. One of my friends said it consumed his free time. :P
Yeah, it definitely introduced some good mechanics, but it took out some of the ones that made the series to interesting in the first place. It dumbed down a lot of things, which Super Pokémon Mystery Dungeon seemed to fix.
Playing Broforce with four people is utter madness, but it's the good kind of madness. I get really excitable and it's just so much fun, but then you'll see a sawblade decimate your whole team and there'll be an annoyed grunt followed by an eruption of laughter. :D
It's a reboot type of thing that changes the main story massively (Ratchet's nice to Clank from the beginning, Qwark doesn't seem to be much of a badguy, and the Galactic Rangers and Doctor Nefarious seem to be around before they were in the original trilogy), but they're mixing things up as well; Gaspar has a new collection segment where you collect brains, and Batalia/Hoven are apparently being mixed into one planet to make space for new planets. I'm assuming one of the new planets will be an arena area.
I'd highly recommend giving them a shot again; I only had the original, 3 and Tools of Destruction when I was a kid, but I bought all of the main ones and played them in order. That was a fun couple of months. :D
I've heard only good things about Jak and Daxter (apart from some difficulty regarding checkpoints), but the main thing that turns me off is the wholesome original game becoming a dark, gritty game for no reason. It just depressed me. Funnily enough though, I do have Jak X and I really enjoy it, and I can play as Ratchet because I have a Gladiator save. I always thought it was weird how both of those franchises did a spin-off after their original trilogies that focused one one elements of their core gameplay (driving in Jak's case and combat in Ratchet's case). But yeah, apart from Jak X I haven't played any of them, but very recently I played through the Sly Trilogy and enjoyed it immensely. :)
As for the PSP games, I've heard that they play exactly how you'd expect portable Ratchet & Clank games to play, with the main complaint being that the PS2 ports didn't change the graphics to be of a PS2 standard and various other things like that.
That's basically what it is; a reboot/remake of the original to tie in with the movie. My one criticism of the game is that the Blaster and Bomb Glove are out in favour of the ones from the newer games. The saddest part is that Helga seems to be missing, considering I saw the training section and it was a robot Qwark at the end. :(
