Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

One of the first real reasons to buy PS5. This intergalactic adventure of famous series is full of great gameplay, inventive game design, gripping story, and great characters. It's a game for everyone who owns PS5. Actually, it’s a game for everyone.

After an iffy PS4 entry, Rift Apart delivers the full-on next generation experience for series fans and newcomers alike. It’s the best showcase game the PS5 has had yet and makes the on-board SSD shine in ways that truly impress when you take a step back to soak in just what’s happening in real-time.

In many ways Rift Apart is the first "next gen" game. It truly feels like playing a Pixar movie, with great details, animations and an impressive weapon catalogue. Traveling through dimensions mechanics never cease to amaze.

Funny, wonderfully lively, sublime and impossible to leave once embarked on the adventure, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart offers exactly what we expected: A delightful space journey through dimensions, suitable for the whole family.

Ratchet And Clank Rift Apart is an excellent game, very fun and sets the bar very high. With a nervous and devilishly effective gameplay and its sublime and bluffing universe of life, it is undoubtedly the one we were waiting for. The breathtaking rhythm between each stunning cinematic. A video game that offers the perfect blend between a Pixar and pure Ratchet. Too bad that Rivet does not come out more in its gameplay because it is a superb character.

It doesn’t reinvent the wheel but it makes sure that the wheel provides the smoothest experience you can get. This is the Ratchet and Clank you’ve grown to love over the years brought into a new generation of gaming. Fans of the original series will love it and fans of platformers will definitely find something they enjoy. It has its flaws but with collectables to find, side quests to complete, a story full of great moments and more it’s a game that will keep you entertained until the very end.

There was a kind of magic in the early Ratchet & Clank games, and then a competence in the later lesser games. The frenetic onscreen chaos of wacky cartoon monsters, smashed crates, imaginative gunplay, and a swarm of bouncing coins was a true joy as we all discovered it twenty years ago. These days, it’s all on offer in a hundred different games. But without the magic or at least the competence, it’s just a flurry of sloppy colors and shapes, a whirlwind of ineffectual nostalgia, absent any innovation, creativity, confidence, or finesse. It took many years, but now that it’s being used to prop up a piece of hardware, Ratchet & Clank finally feels like the soulless corporate property it’s become.

Never really played a bad ratchet and Clank. This one was definitely different, and it did the added difference well. The thing that made this game different is the rift dimensions, while this isn't entirely new in this series, it does the new parallel character well. The mechanics, tools, and gameplay are fun and challenging to some degree as usual and the antagonists are just funny and awesome like the older games. Good way to potentially end the series.

Fun game but feel bad for the devs working under such an awful parent company.

I spent over 50 hours on PS5 to earn the platinum. Technically, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is still one of the most impressive games of this generation. The graphics and PS5 features are outstanding, and the gameplay is extremely smooth and fun. However, the story feels quite average. The relationships between the four main characters are predictable, and Rivet and Kit lack depth. I often progressed just for the gameplay rather than the narrative. Despite that, it remains a fantastic technical showcase for the PS5.

I hate this game. Positives, presentation and graphics 11/10, gameplay is a refinement over the last game and opens up much more fun. Action sequences are amazing fun and very impressive until overused. But wow. I like ratchet and clank. This game.. the end boss is difficult by hiding from you, and you only end up beating it because it gave up and turns into easy mode after a number of attempts. There are no mention at all about relationships in this game until a npc introduces themselves offers to have a bisexual relationship with you or your robot, disappears, and is never heard from again. In a childrens game. The most explored theme in the game is parallels to real world mental problems for children. no kidding. I like alot the character of rivet, but they made her an angry btch right before the end for no idea. Then you beat the boss. The characters go home, and it ends. That's literally it. As a lifelong gamer i feel insulted i wasted my time on this. I wouldn't care about any of the above if there was half the narrative in rift apart as in the ps4 game. But there isn't. Im pretty sure my next console will be an xbox.

I like the Ratchet and Clank series despite me playing the games starting off with Tools of Destruction and i have like the series ever since, but this one is my least favourite in the series.
