    This game is too short. The developers are charging $70 for what is basically a PS5 tech demo that lasts under 6 hours. That is extremely expensive. The last Ratchet & Clank game had a $40 price tag. The greedy developers had the audacity to charge $30 more for this game and they didn't even bother to make the campaign much longer.

The greedy developers had the audacity to charge $30 more for this game and they didn't even bother to make the campaign much longer.

    The gameplay is so boring and repetitive. There is hardly any enemy variety. The missions are lazily designed and boring. The physics are beyond horrible. The running animations are cringeworthy. The characters are cringeworthy as well. The story is garbage. The AI in this game is incredibly stupid. When I kill an enemy, I can make the protagonists magically go through their bodies. That just goes to show how lazy the developers were when making this game. The soundtrack is generic trash. Boss fights are awful.

    There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, this game will go back to the shelf and collect dust. Charging $70 for a 6 hour game with no replay value is a cashgrab. The developers heavily advertised the power of the console's SSD with those portal level rings which is nothing more than a gimmick that gets old fast. How about they spend time actually improving the gameplay, instead of coming up with gimmicks. I recommend you pick this game up until it's like $5 or wait until it is free on PS Plus.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. - Ugly, semi-realistic art style
    - Plot is just a rehash of ACIT, but with less-engaging characters and multiverse **** thrown in
    - Teases Lombax Dimension but never go through with it (again?)
    - Ratchet and Clank now even bigger soyboys than they were in PS4 game/movie
    - **** Lombax OC created by Sam Maggs
    - All NPCS you meet are friendly and "quirky"
    - Humour is virtually non-existent
    - Crappy motion capture in cutscenes
    - Literally no one shuts the **** up during gameplay
    - Ratchet and Rivet have exact same moveset instead of giving Rivet her own unique moveset
    - Rift Tether too gimmicky and adds nothing to overall gameplay
    - Trudi and Speedle move like ****
    - **** puzzles, and **** herself, annoying AF
    - Clank puzzles exist
    - Arena challenges lacking and too easy
    - ****-tier voice acting (sucks that Jim Ward got Alzheimer's and Covid but I'm glad he didn't star in this ****fest)
    - Generic Marvel-esque OST
    - Next game will most likely be Rivet and Kit spinoff that still won't take them to Lombax Dimension

    **** this game. And nu-Insomniac. I hope their new Marvel games suck    … Expand

    Pretty boring and childish game, easily one of the weakest Sony exclusives, thank god Xbox was there to deliver in 2021, because Sony had basically no games at all that were worth playing.

    Honestly I don't see what the big deal is. Pretty graphics does not equate to a good game.

    Rift Apart is basically a 12 to 13 hour graphics fireworks show, its pretty to look at but fleeting when you realize everything it does has been done before(and better) in the previous Ratchet and Clank titles.

I will admit its the best looking R&C game but looks are only skin deep, gameplay is what counts in the end and I fail to see what is so "next gen" about a game that retreads the same territory for the 15th time.

    Take a look at most of the reviews for this game, funny how the only thing positive people can say about this "next gen masterpiece" is that the graphics look good, you'd think they'd have more to say lol.    … Expand

    I will start off by saying the reviews were correct in one way only and that is the graphics. This is a game that is impressive to look at and the performance ray tracing mode was beautiful. As for the rest of the game, I didn’t enjoy much of it. There is not really much exploration as most collectibles seemed too easy to find and the level design is so simple.

There is not really much exploration as most collectibles seemed too easy to find and the level design is so simple. The gameplay is overall subpar, which is something critics I follow were raving about. In the first hour, I thought the shooting was good but then I realized it was just gimmicky and relies on the trigger feedback. It felt like I wasn’t really in control of the weapons, which is also the case of the platforming. It’s not challenging at all and a lot of the platforming is impossible to fail. It just feels like a cutscene at some points to load in a new level. Finally, the game is way too short for the price of entry. $70 for a 7-hour campaign is a borderline rip-off. I think at the maximum, this should have been charged at the same rate as Spider-Man Miles Morales, a game which has a similar length campaign and roughly 20 hours of total content (charged at $50). I feel ripped off and this game is definitely not worth the money at full price.… Expand

    Most of the people here are rating the game on it’s graphic’s and not it’s gameplay or game value, the game can be beaten in less than 5 hours and that’s looking at all the cut scenes, with no replay value at all, so this is what we have to look forward to in the $75.00 game era, shorter games that look great with no replay value, the game is repetitive and boring after you get overMost of the people here are rating the game on it’s graphic’s and not it’s gameplay or game value, the game can be beaten in less than 5 hours and that’s looking at all the cut scenes, with no replay value at all, so this is what we have to look forward to in the $75.00 game era, shorter games that look great with no replay value, the game is repetitive and boring after you get over looking at the graphics, Resident Evil Village which looks just as good is $59.99 and a lot longer and has great replay value.… Expand

    This game is too short and too expensive. Considering the price, it is too short.
    Little has changed compared to its predecessor.

    Juego sobrevalorado por pertenecer a la compañía que todos sabemos. Un doble A disfrazado de triple A por una prensa corrupta. Juego mediocre, fácil, corto e infantiloide. Un juego que si se fuera justo no hubiera estado ni entre los 20 mejores juegos del año.

    Stunning graphics but a really disappointing story as well as lackluster mechanics and repetitive enemies. The game was also extremely short with no replay value, which is inexcusable given the price. A huge letdown.

    70 $ for a 5 hours game... and half the 5 hour was a cutscene. I fell rob.
    "Most beautiful" game my ass, foliage don't even react when I pass through it, I just no clip through them, same with dying enemies. Ghost of Tsushima is prettier, have more physics, more interesting gameplay and bosses, and didn't cost 70$. Oh, and also, ghost run on ps4.

    Generic Buggy, short..If all you need is pretty graphics then this game has you covered. If younlike variety , inovation or origonality look elseware. Dont mind sequels not inovating , but this is like the 8th game with nothing new. Also got heap of crashes , invisible walls , cliping and popin..

В боях порталы расставлены в определенных точках и работают как обычная крюк кошка. Зачем это нужно, когда можно было добавить ту же крюк кошку, что бы была возможность притягиваться в то место, которое я хочу, а не игра.
    Второй персонаж - позор! Никаких различий между ними от слова совсем. Худшая реализация.

    Positives:

    -Beautiful graphics

    Negatives:

    -Bland, repetitive gameplay
    -Bland characters
    -Bland, forgettable music
    -Bland plot and story

    I wish that I had not paid $70 for this game. It was a massive disappointment, but had I gone in with lower expectations I would have had a pleasant enough time with it. I will never play it again.

    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.

    What’s so good about this installment of Ratchet and Clank is that it is a true labor of love. There is no other way a game can feel so good, play so well, and take you on an impressive adventure all without that special ingredient to keep it going. The definition of a next-gen title, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is a must-play that will leave you super satisfied and hungry for another big game like this one.

    The experience is so captivating, you’ll probably want to blast through the entire 10-15 hour story in one go. But the final is really disappointing: basically, the entire game is just a warm-up, while the important events will happen in the next one. [Issue#254, p.36]
