    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.

    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

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

    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.

    Demasiado corto , muy muy fácil, tiene dos personajes principales jugables, pero son exactamente iguales en todo, gráficos muy bonitos eso sí , decepción.

    A game which has a good story, but once the game is complete it feels like there's no more reason to play, and it becomes empty. The sidequests are boring, and usually they feel boring and meaningless.

    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

    Fine third person shooter platformer


    Not to the tech highs of crack in time at all. Story fine. Gunplay fun. Platforming ok. Blizar highlight.

    Not an improvement over the 2009 PS3 game's ideas and execution.

    Story is boring, gameplay is very conventionnal and the game is very short for a AAA.

    Certainly way better than i expected! Wih its all music, atmosphere, scenario it felt like i am in an animation movie which is about adventure. As a animation movie lover, playing Rift Apart opened my horizon about movie-like games. I hope we never stop to make classic arcade games ^^

    Feels like a PS4 game with minor additions. Game is very short with low replay value. More of a rental.

    Jogo é igual e mesma coisa de antes, não que isso seja ruim, porém acho que dava para fazer algo melhor. Gráficos é nítido que recebeu um belo downgrade. Espero que essa série ganhe nova vida

    저는 라쳇시리즈의 팬입니다. 하지만 내 플스5로 게임 중에 튕김현상과 버그가 자주 발생했습니다. 소프트 가격 또한 비싸기 때문에 추천드리지 않습니다.

    If I wanted a kids game, I would have bought a Nintendo. The positives! Great graphics, and really show what the ps5 can do, but the game itself is so repetitive and boring. Thank God it's only 7 hours long!

    Decent game but just your typical bad story good graphics. Too many young fan boys hyped this up yet the in game interactions are laughble as the environment doesn’t move as an example you go through grass and trees and they don’t move. The reality of the game doesn’t draw you in with little things like that.

    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..

    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

    Ratchet and Clank's return for the PlayStation 5 falls flat across the board for it's filler story, repetitive gameplay, and bland characters. Rift Apart sees the iconic duo at their blandest yet, with all character traits that made them what they are stripped away.

Rift Apart sees the iconic duo at their blandest yet, with all character traits that made them what they are stripped away. These characters are hardly recognizable from their earlier works, finding themselves more reminiscent of their 2016 movie counterparts. The Gameplay this time around has some new bells and whistles, but isn't enough to save itself from it's own laziness and mediocrity. While this game marks a first time in the main-series that Ratchet has to share the spotlight with another gun-toting hero, Insomniac takes the easy/lazy road by having both Ratchet and new character, Rivet, play identically. Both share the same weapons, gadgets, upgrades, and even ammo count, with very little rhyme or reason. However, despite the fact that they play identically at all times, the game does not allow Ratchet and Rivet to explore areas the other character traversed during the story, even though their is no reason for that either. Many planets and almost all the enemies are ripped straight from previous entries, and while this game boasts the most new weapons a game in the series has had in over a decade, many of weapons are reskins of each other. 3 blaster type weapons and 3 shotgun type weapons, in addition to several weapons that just act on their own with no input required from the player, and you have an arsenal that appears plentiful on the surface, but is shallow in actuality. It surprises me that this game has received the praise it has, which may be due to the low amount of new titles available on next generation consoles. This game may need to be reevaluated after more interesting titles have made their way to the PlayStation 5. For now, while their may not be many options for new PlayStation 5 owners, for $70 Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is not worth it's next generation price tag, and should be avoided for those over the age of 12.… Expand

    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.

    Muy bonitas graficas pero saliendo de eso, todo lo demás es mucho peor que el de playstation 4, demasiado fácil y corto para los 80 dolares, como la gran mayoría de los juegos de playstation , mucha cinemática y narrativa pobre y poco gameplay innovador, lo siento. Mejor vean una película de Pixar.

    Este juego la verdad me pone triste lo peresozos que fueron los desarrolladores al hacerlo, historia aburrida, jugabilidad extraña, enemigos aburridos y genericos, es mil veces mejor la entrega anterior de esta saga de ratchet, me han decepcionado mucho

    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]
