    Absolutely loved the game. Insomniac's games have sometimes been a bit hit or miss for me but Rift Apart is fantastic in almost every way. Excellent characters with a good storyline and gameplay.

    The only slight miss were those puzzle levels with Clank. I get that they wanted to break up the gameplay a bit but I wasn't feeling it.

    Fun af, high energy, beautiful graphic and art style, Rift Apart brings something a lot of Devs, and Publishers cant do anymore, and that release a quality game. There are some faults I have with it, but overall this game is simple, and fun.

    Ratchet and clank rift apart is another excellent game by insomniac. the variety of weapons and environments is really good and it's graphics and lightning is so incredible that it looks like a pixar movie. however I enjoyed ratchet and clank 2016's story more and sometimes rift apart enemies and it's gameplay feels repetitive and the game is too short

    Просто лучшая аркадная игра на данный момент. Проходил на PS5, затем на ПК. Бояре не очень довольны, жалуются на плохую оптимизацию и баги. С патчами немного профиксили, теперь на более-менее приличном железе выдаёт стабильные 60 фепесов в 4к и высокими настройками графики.Просто лучшая аркадная игра на данный момент.

    Never played a ratchet and clank til the 2016 one like a month before this came out. Thought it was alright. Thought it was good enough to eye this one and was starved for new PS5 games. I was stunned. Story was fun and exciting, visuals were amazing. Gameplay was great. It’s a true set piece for what the PS5 could do. Thoroughly enjoyed my time with it.

    A fun, but most important, beautiful experience and full of color, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart brings new characters that are very welcomed to the beloved series as well as refining the classic aspects. Also the use of the "multiverse" is well done.

    After that disappointing "Remake" of 2016 I was honestly worried about the future of the series, I mean, I was excited for this game but I couldn't help but be sceptical about it.

    Having played the game now I'm actually happy with how it turned out to be, the humor is decent, some jokes do land well even thought here are still many of them that are... childish, the gameplay is actually very enjoyable, the movement is improved from the previous games with some great additional mechanics that make it very smooth and fun to play, and the characters are actually likeable!

    There's way more exploration this time around, every planet has some secrets to find, and even pieces of gear to unlock which you can wear to change the way the character looks, which is a really cool feature! There are also mini games as well which I tried out but they're just okay, nothing special.

    Although the main story is not really memorable, it's just another adventure where you have to save the world, I did like how the rifts played a role in it, and the mechanic of how you can traverse the rifts is impressive, the way all various worlds load instantly and they also look gorgeous really shows the high quality of the game, and the effort that was put into making it.

    The puzzles are alright but damn they really slow down the pacing, and there are actually many of them, not too many but more than enough.

    And even with all the improvements on the movement, the additional quality of life mechanics and the brand new protagonist, at the end of the day it's still a Ratchet & Clank game and it plays very similarly to the previous games, the shooting doesn't feel fresh, and I honestly think this could've been fixed if Rivet had different weapons and play-style, it would make the game less repetitive and more rewarding.

    This game is honestly a blast, it's not anything new but it does feel like a next-generation game in many ways, the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers enhance the gameplay, and the instant teleportation helps with the fast paced action and beautiful cinematic set-pieces.

    It might be quite short but it's still very much worth trying out, it's just a fun little adventure, and most importantly, as of right now it's one of the very few games that actually showcases the technology of the PlayStation 5.

    It`s not as good as the ps2 games.
    It is way better than the ps4 games.
    And about the same as the ps3 games.

    Good story and characters
    Amazing visuals
    Great combat gameplay
    Good level design, and variety

    Music could be better (like in ps2 games)
    Humor could be more edgy and adult (like in ps2 games)
    Too much family friendly

    Not gonna lie, after playing the 2016 reboot of the series, I was a bit unsure if I wanted to play Rift Apart because I didn't enjoy playing that game at all.

    To my surprise, however, I can safely say Rift Apart is genuinely a fun game to play; in fact, I had a blast, like, I enjoyed it much more than I expected.
    The gameplay has a lot of similarities to the older games and it can feel somewhat mindless when you're facing a wave of trash mobs, but it's not only refined in every single way possible; the haptic feedback made everything so much better, making the game all the more enjoyable to play.
    The weapon variety is impressive once again, not surprising.
    The story, while not exactly good or anything like that, is still enjoyable to play through, and the characters are pretty good.
    The best part of the game though, is without a single doubt in my mind, the visuals; they're just incredible! The game truly looks and feels exactly how a next-generation game should, running at stable 60 FPS, no loading times, no technical issues, ray tracing and haptic feedback technology, gorgeous graphics... you just can't ask for more.
    Also, most of the set-pieces are fantastic as well.
    The game is definitely not perfect though, for example, the enemy and boss variety is seriously lacking, unfortunately.
    The puzzles are all repetitive and they slow down the pacing most of the time.
    Lastly, not exactly a serious flaw, more of a personal gripe, but I thought the humor felt a bit... immature and childlike for the most part; it was hit or miss.

    Pros:
    + Very fun gameplay
    + Haptic feedback
    + Amazing weapon variety
    + Breathtaking visuals
    + Awesome set-pieces

    Cons:
    - Poor enemy and boss variety
    - Tedious puzzles
    - Inconsistent humor

    The OST is great and the little extras are insane, some moments created an ultra funny moment for me with the musical references.
    In short, we find the very essence of a Ratchet and Clank but reboost to 1000%
    Only downside, too simple even in legendary difficulty. Afterwards I understand that it is designed to reach all audiences but a little difficulty for the challenge it would have been cool, I'm not asking to have a dark soul like either.

    Awesome game! Grew up playing Ratchet and Clank, this one checked off all the boxes and then some. Gameplay and controls are top notch, a highly underrated 3rd person shooter. Graphics and animation look like a Pixar film, just an overall great game. Might be a little short on content, but replaying the game after unlocking all the weapon abilities gives it more replay value than expected.

    Ну, честно говоря, имеем 100% сиквел. И, опять таки как в случае с Deathloop, непонятно почему это изначально эксклюзив PS5? Я думаю PS4 нормально потянула бы такой графон. А так, большая часть аудитории просто отсечена от игры на выходе. Конечно это вероятно сделано для продвижения PS5, но Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart к сожалению как и Knack, не те игры которые продают платформу.

Конечно это вероятно сделано для продвижения PS5, но Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart к сожалению как и Knack, не те игры которые продают платформу.
    И так, игра очень похожа на игру 2016 года и я думаю если скрыть интерфейс то вряд ли с первого раза удастся их отличить.
    Геймплей не сильно изменился, даже оружие улучшается абсолютно так же.
    Имеем новую историю и новых персонажей. Хотя прохождение за Рэтчета и Кланка не отличается от прохождения за их альтр эго из параллельной вселенной, Ривет и Кит (KT-7461) от слова совсем. Даже вся прокачка и оружие у героев идентичная, качается один, прокачивается и другой.
    А в целом, как я писал выше, это те же щи, только ещё гуще. Героев стало больше, оружия то же. Картинка стала сочней, что не удивительно, паркур стал удобней.
    Ещё, мне больше понравился геймплей за Кланка/Кит, исчезли эти жопораздирающие забеги от монстров. Теперь это больше задачки на сообразительность.
    Так же в игре появился геймплей за некую виртуальную программку-паучка по имени Глючка.
    Ещё появились сеты различной брони, которые дают какие то небольшие бонусы одетому в неё персонажу, а так же меняющие его внешний вид. Мелочь, а приятно.
    Так вот, хоть игра не сильно прям отличается от предшественницы, в ней всего стало больше. И если вам понравилось играть в Ratchet & Clank в 2016 году, то понравится играть и в эту.
    Тем более, что игра лежит в PS Plus за подписку.
    Так что советую!    … Expand

    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.
