    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

    Достойное продолжение серии. Загрузок в этой игре нет вообще, намного больше разнообразия оружия и гаджетов. Всем советую.

    Rift Apart is a really good game, it's fun and very enjoyable. But I think Insomniac played it very safe.

The thing that i dislike more about this game is the amount of glitches and bugs i encounter in my playthrough, i haven't being able to 100% the game because of a glitch is not letting me get the last golden bolt. It's really frustrating. So this game is an 8 imo, not the best R&C, not the best PS5 exclusive but a good game nonetheless Expand

    Very fun to play. Story is very funny. Gameplay is very smooth and it is in fact a nice showcase for most of new PS5 features. Storyline is very short though, I finished it in four days. But this is a game that you would like to play over and over in non story mode.

    I would give it a 9 if it had a better pricing. Very good game, with great graphics and gameplay and an interesting story but it's definitely not worth 70$ at launch. I recommend to buy it and try it out on a sale, you won't regret it.

    ratchet and clank wow it has been so long since i played a solid canon ratchet and clank so what do i have to say about this game ? a short beautiful experience

    ratchet and clank wow it has been so long since i played a solid canon ratchet and clank so what do i have to say about this game ? a short beautiful experience

    pros:

    the game is so beautiful the new engine insomniac developed is just supreme

    i cant get enough of the 60 fps ray traced gameplay and the ps5 ssd holy cow the fact that you can cross dimensions with no loading what so ever is just mind-blowing

    the gameplay loop is so much fun it really brings out the old school ratchet and clank feeling

    the music and sound is very good props the the music creators

    the world building is soooo good you can just stop and look around you and see rifts opening and closing and so much stuff going in the background

    the game is very cinematic for better or worse they took the idea they did with spider man ps4 where you look at a cutscenes most of the time and after it smooths you in to the gameplay in ratchet and clank it is cool and fun at the beginning but later it just becomes tedious

    the weapons have so much verity and are so much fun there are some lazy designs but overall it is a blast to blast those weapons'

    cons:

    although the gameplay does feel like the og ratchet and clank games the writing is just trash the game just felt like a very toned down and predictable Disney movie i just feel like ratchet and clank writing just lost its edge

    rivet is a fun character and even though she's not yelling how woman are the superior being and all that sjw bull she barely gets any back story or any explanation about her out shines ratchet at his own game and felt like a very rushed character for the sake of introducing a female lead

    there are barely any sides quests and when there are some its just go collect 60 orbs or 50 stones i mean really ? no side quests in a ratchet and clank game that's just lazy

    the game is 11 hours long and i went back to collect some stuff and i did every puzzle and just 11 hours really ?!?!?! at the end i felt like they went all tech demo on us and the game was more look how the ps5 is a good console than look at our new cool game

    in conclusion ratchet and clank felt like a beautiful over glorified tech demo it is good in term of gameplay but falls short in so many other areas the game is fun and cool but i will only recommend it if there will be a discount1 at full price its just nah so my final score to ratchet and clank is a 8 out of 10

    Overall, very solid game with great graphics that showcase what the PS5 can do.

    Cons: a bit short for $70 game (~18 hrs if you do everything) with not a lot of reply value. Accessibility for all ages make the game a bit too easy (even on hardest setting) and lacking in depth.

This game truly delivers the promised future of what next gen games are willing to do at their peaks. Thank you insomniac for such a wonderful experience. in this review i am going to talk about the good and the bad and overall experience and why i think it deserves an 8 and not a 10 cuz its the weakest of the franchise and feels more like another PS5 tech demo at some aspects rather than a full fledged game.

    THE GOOD:
    and this section is going to be the longest so stay tuned...
    This game with its visuals is something really earth shaking and the people behind insomniacs animation teams and graphics engine are truly magicians! If there is one thing i need to understand is how insomniac games managed to deliver Spiderman miles morals as cross gen and Spiderman remasterd and ratchet and clank rift apart all within less than a year!? achieving technical aspects in visuals and graphics like never before and taking full advantage of the ps5 hardware, with faster loading times and the whole rifts and dimensions stuff is something unbelievable! and i dont think that even third party games will make anything similar to this game or something that will take advantage of the ps5 hardware like first party games do. And a quick mention to the graphics modes like performance rt and performance mode are great but i preferred fidelity mode for that sharp image and effects and i am ok with that 30 fps that on a screen like mine its hard to notice. i am truly a fan boy of insomniac games!
    Gameplay wise well, i have been playing ratchet and clank since day 1 on the ps2 as a kid who just moved into underwear from diapers. I have played almost every ratchet and clank out there and rift apart is the most ambitious one of the bunch out there delivering things the title hasnt seen before like the shadow dash as well as new weapons, But in big its just like its always been but improved with a much smoother gameplay rather than arcady or clunky and it is just right here.
    Sound design and soundtrack and music is unbelievable! If you have 3D audio headset or the ps5 pulse 3d you are in for a blast of a sound!!! This game really does deliver audio that i dont think even returnal has managed to deliver. Its a joy to listen to this game even if youre just standing somewhere not doing anything it really feels like youre in that universe.
    Presentation wise and world and attention to detail and the rifts are such a game changer! Thank to the ps5's hardware i dont think pc's will get to the level of releasing games in this level anytime soon. The attention to detail and animation and level design is something that makes you really fall in love with this game. World and map are made on point! and so much work has been put into them!
    And characters wise its so hard to talk about cuz i just love every one of those characters and my gosh this game is really something! by the end i clapped my hands with a smile and was so happy for the experience of this game and i cant wait for a sequel! All the characters are well acted and designed and made in such a fashion that even the new characters introduced into the series are characters i fell in love with!

    THE BAD:
    As a vet of the series i gotta admit. There is nothing to do after you finish the game and collect all the collectibles which are easy to find. The worlds are small yet detailed but they get really boring after you finish the missions within them. And the glitch missions are annoying! Like honestly i was so glad i finished with her, It was pointless and short and really didnt feel necessary. Clank puzzles are the worst they have ever been in the series! They are extremely easy and all of them are literally the same!!! I would really want to see in the future, more of secret agent clank missions and other activities like racing or collecting the captain quark cartages and playing the mini games or exploring more of the world and doing more activities rather than just collecting and doing main quests in the world. The universe of this game feels empty compared to other previous titles. And the game had issues like showing objective icons and having a few bugs like where npc's would run away from me but they werent game breaking and easily fixed with a reload.

    OVERALL
    I love this game and if you read the good and bad you know why this game is an 8 for me and with a lot of love! I truly want to see more of the series and sadly we didnt get that big ratchet and clank game just yet. Its a great way to show off the ps5 capabilities but i feel like all the focus of this game was on that rather than the actual game as a whole. After 2 playthroughs (the game is short) i think im done with this game, i have no interest going back into it anymore as much as i did when i played the 3rd game on the ps2. Was a hell of an experience but made me want more.

    Rift Apart doesn't bring a whole lot of new to the table but it does bring a whole lot of fun and that's what most of us are coming to R&C for. This is my first PS5 game so it was a whole new experience for me full of anticipation and scepticism.

    The graphics are a good showcase of a next-gen step, with three options between performance and resolution. This also the drawback, however, as when I played for high-resolution the framerate really suffered and was hard to un-see, so I spent most of the game in the two performance modes. Having said that, seeing up to 60fps is a game-changer for me. Things feel so much smoother and more immersive. Since this is an early PS5 game, it will be interesting to see where things go from here. I was quite impressed with how well the fps held up when action became hectic on-screen.

    The gameplay is very familiar to anyone who has played any R&C game before, for better or worse. What's new is the dimensionator that is quite well advertised. In the game however, I found this a tad gimmicky, as it functions as a glorified grapple-hook most of the time. There are times when you do shift to another dimension and the loading times for this is amazing, but these are also scripted and are still welcome as they provide a refreshing experience as previous R&C games I always felt 'stuck' on a level until I completed it.

    I give the game kudos also for accessibility, especially in terms of difficulty. Even on the easier levels there can be close calls with getting killed so this makes the game very appealing to a mass audience.

    What grinded my gears quite a bit were the 'mini-game' sections where you play against the virus or as Clank navigating three consecutive puzzles. Doing this once is fine because it's a break from the otherwise hectic action, but I ended up skipping Clank's final puzzles (again thank you for accessibility!) as they were very tedious and irritating - basically a 2021 version of Lemmings.

    It wouldn't be R&C without the crazy guns, and here there were more than enough to keep me occupied, and levelling them up is a great mechanic to encourage me to use a variety. The Warmonger was probably my favourite due to its sheer power.

    One very annoying thing I did notice is that when you get hit there is a stun animation which feels like it lasts forever in-game, really disrupting the flow of combat. I found this really irritating but I suppose there needs to be some consequence for getting hit, and the jetpack boots help make traversal more enjoyable.

    The story of R&C finally takes a step outside the box here. While Rivet is almost identical to Ratchet, I still found it refreshing to hear different voice actors. I've always enjoyed the camp humour of R&C and Rift Apart is no exception. The game gives you a coherent story with purpose, motivation and payoff, ticking all the right boxes. Whilst having different versions of the same characters seems repetitive and cheap, it also prevents the game from overloading us with endless forgettable characters, although I was a tad disappointed to miss out on the plumber this time.

    I think the game deserves special credit for not padding itself out with filler content. This wasn't the longest adventure, but it also wasn't one that bored me with grinding or endless fetch-quests.

    Overall, Rift Apart doesn't actually bring much new to the table but what it does right, it does very well. Despite some very familiar game mechanics and cardinal sins of gaming such as colour palette changes, the game actually manages to be engaging and enjoyable. Everything I love about R&C is here, although the price is something I do not like at all.

The artificial intelligence of the enemies is anecdotal (Storm trooper pointers do not hit anything even if they have it in front of them)

    Lo Meh !:
    This game is not a joke, it lasts 4-6 hours, it lasts longer and if you want to get the platinum trophy it will keep you entertained for a while 10-12 hours, after that there is no more. In the promotional trailers it shows moves that cannot be done in the base game. Unlike the previous Ratchet and Clank where they opted for a trans-media experience with an animated film, here they did nothing of that and it is applauded since the character is not at all charismatic.

    Personally, I loved it. I loved how amazing the haptics felt, how every gun felt different and made a different sound through the dualsense. Feels almost like the controller was made specifically for this game! The story was great, loved Rivet and Kit. To top it all off, the platinum trophy is actually attainable for the casual gamer which I feel is a rarity nowadays. The new characters and places were great, as well as the story.

    Only reason I rated it lower than a 9 was the fact that it was so short. I don't know exactly how long, but I got the platinum trophy in about 15-16 hours, and for a game that cost $70, it should've been longer. If you're not wowed by the graphics or a fan of the franchise/platform games, wait for the price to come down or when they eventually release it on PS Plus for free.

    This game is a 10 on beauty and charm, but the gameplay at higher difficulties leaves a lot to be desired. The first issue is sloppy input:
    - The dash cannot be animation cancelled into a melee attack, meaning using dash as an offensive move is all but useless
    - You cannot switch weapons whenever your feet is not touching the ground. This restriction not only makes no sense, but makes it

    - The dash cannot be animation cancelled into a melee attack, meaning using dash as an offensive move is all but useless
    - You cannot switch weapons whenever your feet is not touching the ground. This restriction not only makes no sense, but makes it impossible to fast-weapon-switch to maximize DPS while also jump/juking.
    - Double jump fails if you hold the first jump input too long and trigger the hover
    - Clambering is very sloppy, you'll clamber at the wrong height, not clamber at all. Also you can't rebound from a clamber

    While the main campaign is quite easy, it is the challenge arenas where the combat in this game really shows its cracks. Unlike Doom or Returnal, where skillful movement can make you untouchable for long-stretches of combat, in this game, enemies have a random spray to their fire. So you WILL get nicked by seemingly unavoidable, off-camera damage (the extremely low FOV doesn't help either). In the challenge arenas, you don't get much health recovery, so every hit REALLY matters. So without a way to skillfully avoid damage or recover health, too much is left to chance.

    Really nice opus and great work from Insomniac again. It does not get a higher score because my last opus was the PSP one, and well the mechanic didn't change. Nevertheless is remains a really nice game, on which they could have gone further (portal thing, less weapons but specific weaknesses on ennemies, a more specific gameplay for Rivet etc.).

    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!

Rift Apart could have told its story in 6 hours, but stretches it out to 9-10 with surprise turns in the second half that feel unnecessary and seem like padding. If the game's story weren't so stretched, I would feel inclined to give this game a higher score.

К слову, сетов в игре десяток и дают они самые разные бонусы, которые бывают полезны в разных ситуациях. В игре появился второй ломбакс Ривет, к сожалению, игра за нее никак не отличается от Ретчета, просто другой скин и голос. А ведь можно было придумать ей оригинальные механики и/или оружие, эх. Сюжет, как всегда, сводится к спасению всего мира, злодеем в очередной раз выступает Нифариус(ы), короче, забывается через пару дней :) Головоломки за Кланка несложные. Арена тоже нетрудная, все три лиги пройдены быстро, испытаний немного и они не очень оригинальные. Финальный босс откровенно разочаровал, на среднем уровне практически не доставил проблем, просто поливаешь его огнем со всех орудий и всё, босс из игры 2016 был интересней и сложнее.
    В общем, самый что ни на есть обычнейший Ретчет, без каких либо откровений. 8/10 только за то, что неиспортили, и на том спасибо.

    The PS5 Ratchet and Clank exclusive is crazy fun. It has excellent level design that engages the player in interesting ways with incredible environmental detail. The roller coaster level in particular is an exhilarating experience. The art direction has great thematic design similar to a Pixar movie sporting a Wall-E/Incredibles aesthetic.

    The gameplay has a good flow, and reminded me of Psychonauts when paired with the game's goofy charm. Storyline is a little too saccharine for my taste, and the humor and dialogue are eye-rolling, but that all falls down to personal preference. There's nothing really wrong with it, and it is appropriate to the setting, and target audience, which isn't me. Main complaint is how easy the game is. I like games that are difficult, and there's little of that to be found here.

    Ratchet & Clank

    Время пришло. Я прошёл ретчед и кланка 2.

    Что я могу сказать. Вторая часть ну безумно красивая. В плане сбора предметов более качественно сделана. Очень много сделано для удобства пользователя. Но геймплейно они не придумали новых интересных оружий. Да остались очень крутые с первой части. Но новые все какие-то неинтересные.

    Сидеть остался на уровне пиксаровского мультика не скатываясь полностью в детскость, но и не беря планку вау эффектов.

    В итоге игра стала лучше первой части. Но это всё ещё 8 баллов. Так же как и первая часть. Чисто из-за того что делает олед и то какая тут сочная графика и анимации я бы поставил 10 баллов. За геймплей 9, но из-за повторений и малого количества нововведений ставлю 7. Сюжет, ну он просто хороший, всё свежо, это 8. Итого 10+8+7 и средняя = 8.3 бала. Если играть в эту часть, как в первую то 9 баллов.

    У первой части приятная графика на 9, уникальный геймплей на 9 баллов, хороший сюжет на 8 баллов, но очень щамороченная система бек трекинга для сбора спрятанных предметов и очень много лишнего метроида за что 7. Итого первая часть 8.25. то есть вторая часть лучше на 0.08 баллов суммарно как для человека который играет в сиквел и на 0.75 была лучше, если играешь впервые. Ничего такого уровня качества сделано как мультик и чтобы это был шутер с кучей интересных механик на рынке я не видел. Продукт уникален в своем роде.

    I really loved this game, but it left me wanting more. This is the kind of game i would have loved to rent for a weekend, but unfortunately there are no rental stores left where I live. I might play through one more time in fidelity mode but after that i think I'll be done. Without multi-player this game is just too short to deserve anything over a 8 when it has a $70 price tag.

Aunque yo creo que no se juegan estos juegos por la historia, ya sabes a donde vienes, está dirigido mayoritariamente a un público más infantil. Se juega por la jugabilidad y esta es una gozada, evidentemente explotando todo lo explotable de la ps5, mucho movimiento, muchas partículas y un gameplay muy dinámico y divertido, que logra introducir bien la mecánica de no usar siempre el mismo arma, cosa que se agradece. Sí es verdad que una vez tienes tus combos de armas en combate, y que te funcionan, es muy difícil salir de ahí, y quizás los combates ya se vuelven algo monótonos porque los enemigos suelen ser siempre similares, sin contar la arena esta de retos, que aporta un poco de frescura al tener que obligarte a hacer ciertas mecánicas.
    Lo plataformero podría haber sido más difícil o tener un reto mayor en las brechas de conseguir partes de armadura, por ejemplo, ninguna supuso mucha dificultad.
    En cuanto a la dificultad un poco más de lo mismo, quizás es demasiado fácil la estándar quizás le tuve que poner un puntito más de dificultad para que supusiera un reto mayor y no solo un paseo por cada mapa.

    · Cosas buenas: visualmente es una gozada, la relación aventura acción es redonda, el gran diseño y variedad de armas. El uso del Dualsense y se nota el salto generacional. Cómo no, Rivet.
    · Cosas malas: los niveles con Clank y Glitch no son tan divers, la historia es simplona de más, el plataformeo podría haber sido más difícil, y algunos bosses se repiten de más.
    · Conclusión: cortita y al pie, juego sencillo, con muy buena jugabilidad, con mecánicas chulas y que sin ser una maravilla narrativamente cumple las horas que te da.

    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.

    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

    Narrative: ?/10
    Gameplay: 8/10
    Content: 5/10
    Characters: 7/10
    Music: ?/10
    Graphics/Audio: 10/10

    Final Rating: 8.5/10
    - Really Great -
    Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart feels like a proper next-generation, PS5 exclusive through and through, and it's an absolute blast to play.

    Do I recommend it?:
    Highly recommended for PS5 owners, as it showcases the technology of the PS5 perfectly well.

    This game is fantastic, but it doesn’t earn its $70 price tag in my opinion. This was one of the games that made me really want a PS5, and while I had a lot of fun playing through this game and basking in its gorgeous environments and fun weapons, it doesn’t evolve itself enough from Ratchet and Clank 2016. That game is also fantastic, and can be bought for MUCH cheaper these days. RiftThis game is fantastic, but it doesn’t earn its $70 price tag in my opinion.

    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.

    I had to buy the PS5 with this game included, to avoid having to wait even longer. It was not high on my priority list. I found this game not very difficult and not very long either, but I enjoyed it very much. Also my 7 year old likes it. For him its great that it's translated in Dutch. The options to make it very easy (can't die from bullets f.e.), make it playable for him.

    Ratchet & Clank is a great shooting game, extremely frenetic, with very beautiful visuals and an interesting proposal to say the least

    The story gets a bit of a backdrop, as the focus is entirely on gameplay.

    Furthermore, the game "innovates" with the optimal use of the PS5's SSD power, and the transition of worlds/dimensions is just unbelievable.

    Not to mention the game's graphics, which even with a slight downgrade compared to the trailers, still look extremely beautiful and worthy of high-budget 3D animations.

    However, some of the problems I've seen in the game are a lot of bugs.
    Sometimes the game just crashes and I need to restart it, or the character is stopped and I can't move it anymore.
    Of course there will always be bugs in every game, but the amount I had in Ratchet is rather worrying, and I would say it can spoil the gameplay to some extent.

    Another point of the game is a repetition on enemies, who mostly do the same thing, and it turns out that the whole game is quite repetitive (on the other hand, there are weapons we can use, which are very varied and have different and fun features)

    And for me, one thing that made me extremely upset is the duration of the game, which is quite short.
    I finished the game in less than 20 hours, and it doesn't have much replay factor (at least for me), which made me very upset as it technically didn't make up for much of the high price of the game.

    Overall, I give a grade 8/10
    Ratchet innovates with the PS5's SSD and its world transition, as well as having beautiful graphics and fun gameplay at various points
    However, it has a lot of bugs and at some point the game becomes quite repetitive, taking away the relatively short duration, which doesn't compensate for the high price of the game.

    Don't get me wrong, the game is AWESOME, but it still has a lot to improve, and I hope that in future updates new content and several enemies will be added, which will be really cool because this game so far is one of the most promising PS5 exclusives from next-gen (so far)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Or the more appropriate name here: Rivet & Clank/Kit.

    This game is the Blade Trinity of the Ratchet & Clank series and feels even to a degree like MGS2 did with its character swap. The game is presented as a Ratchet & Clank game yet is anything but. The opening cutscene reveals the new playable character Rivet and out of the 9 planets that are available in the game, Ratchet has 4. The final boss is beaten by Rivet and all of the major story and character development is all about Rivet. Ratchet & Clank take a backseat to what looks like a setup for a main character change in the series (nothing wrong with that if that is the intention).

    Ratchet & Rivet have zero gameplay differences, share weapon levels and gadgets. Rivet has the entire arena all to herself and Ratchet is not even playable.

    Besides what appears like obvious pandering to a new audience, the game is a visual masterpiece. I didn't personally touch the 4k 30fps mode as previous Ratchet & Clanks feel extremely off at 30fps however at 60fps the game flowed and felt like the perfectly refined Rivet & Clank/Kit game that it is.

    The seamless transition from planet to planet is amazing, the load times are non existent, the guns are mostly enjoyable and fun (why are there so many throwable bomb type weapons?) and the only true disappointment is the RYNO. The planet environments look beautiful and are fun if not reasonably linear experiences with VERY easy to find collectibles which is a strange change and almost all of them can be completed 100% on the first visit, without needing any gadgets.

    As for replayability? Well Insomniac dropped the ball with the trophies this time around. There's no requirement for all gold bolts, no requirement for all weapons upgraded and no requirement for challenge mode either. It's probably the simplest platinum in the entire series with little to no effort and an easy mode that literally makes you invincible.
    In saying that, there is challenge mode and omega weapons, but it's up to the player if they want to pursue these things without any trophy rewards. I personally went for all gold bolts and armours out of habit in these games but have no interest in challenge mode.

    What would be cool is if Insomniac did straight up release "Rivet & Kit" and had an entire game featuring Rivet as the sole playable character and made an effort to differentiate her from Ratchet giving her skills/weapons/gadgets that are unique to her. It would also allow for a reimagining of past Ratchet & Clank villains and planets

    However we all know that the next game will be a co-op game where both are playable and there is still zero difference between them.

    Insomniac didn't reinvent the wheel here but it certainly was a fun experience.

    Now the biggest thing that I was impressed was how quickly from you select the game to actually getting into the game, it's only like 20seconds or less. That's impressive. But shouldn't the actual gameplay be the most impressive thing? Rift Apart is good, but there's a lot of things that don't deserve this to be a 10/10. I'll go over the pros first, then the cons.
    Pros:
    Fast load times and seamless transitions between travel to planets and cutscenes. Definitely the best out of the franchise in this regard.
    Graphics are top notch and the colors just pop, I played on the setting that the game recommends, which focuses on visual, and locks fps to 30, but I didn't really notice FPS issues. Recommend fidelity setting first then go to performance rt if you are wanting to do a second playthrough
    The new characters Rivet and Kit are generally well-written, designed well, and likable. This is important since they get a lot of screen time, and Rivet is in the game more than Ratchet from what it felt like when playing the game. Definitely could see a rivet and kit spinoff
    Combat is great, it's expected from this franchise
    Villains are entertaining and tough, dealing with TWO nefariouses is a nice twist.

    Cons
    Ran into quite a few glitches, funny enough even one with the character Glitch haha. Had to close the game and reload. Some with the weapon wheel not working, some with just running into something like a wall made me drop to zero health. Nothing too major, but noticeable enough and some users have had gamebreaking glitches.
    Weapons are not unique enough. I wasn't really impressed and didn't feel like they pushed the PS5 to the limit. There could of been some melee weapons to buy, or something like you summon hazards using rifts that are scattered around.
    Mini boss fights.... this is my biggest issue with the game. It's the same repetitive enemies. same nerfarious enforcer that you fight several times, or a pirate version that you fight several times. it's lazy. overall enemy variety isn't that good. it's either nefarious minions, goons minions, or robot pirates....
    Arena challenges are not as good compared to other entries in this franchise. They could of done a lot more with this.
    Ratchet and Rivet pretty much work exactly the same... I personally was hoping for some more variety, like for example rivet only gets certain weapons for her! That would of made it even more fun, instead it just feels like a ratchet clone.

    Other Thoughts

    The gameplay isn't too bad, i got over 10hrs of gameplay, didn't 100% the game. Not all games need to be 100hrs length. Is it worth full price? If you're a huge fan like me then yes, but if not I would recommend waiting for a sale then due to gameplay length. I do think this is a good entry and there's a lot of promise for the future for this franchise. However, I do want the developers to try to take more risks or be even more creative.

    Overall, it's a 8/10 for me.

The new characters are entertaining and the story builds off pre-established concepts/characters/lore without being intimidating to new players.

Я проходив у режимі "Якість" і спочатку відчував нестачу кадрів, ну, приблизно, 3 хвилини, потім звик і весь інший час я постійно скріншотив красу і записував фрагменти геймплея, який тут досить різноманітний через велику кількість гармат. Кожна з них унікальна і за допомогою адаптивних тригерів дає нові відчуття від геймплей. Трасування променів помічав, але особливо мене не вразила, можливо тому, що я сильно захопився пейзажем загалом і геймплеєм. Атмосфера тут дуже якісного дитячого мультика і це дуже добре.

    Я не чекав крутого сюжету від гри і я його не отримав, хоча кілька цікавих моментів все ж таки було. SSD у цій грі розкривається на повну і щоразу можна кайфувати від того, як все швидко завантажується, що навіть не встигаєш взяти телефон у руки. Механіки досить прикольні і періодично щось нове додається, що не змушує сумувати.

    Гра досить не довга, але я б радив купувати її зі знижкою в 60 відсотків, або ж просто взяти аккаунт в оренду, що набагато вигідніше, тому що якщо все збирати і чистити локації, то платина легко вибивається і після цього гру, швидше за все, ви вже ніколи й не запустіть.

    До конкретних мінусів хочу віднести відсутність різноманітності босів, вони всі під копірку; невелика тривалість, навіть якщо ви захочете зачистити гру на 100 відсотків (Я пройшов за 3 дні, з урахуванням гри 3-5 годин на день); фінал, який досить зім'ятий і прямо натякає на третью частину; один раз застряг у текстурах за Глючку і періодично застрягав у текстурах, але не критично; відсутність української мови в озвученні та субтитрах.

I have played several instalments of r&c being all the ps2 games, size matters and the ps4 remasters. Soon I wanna complete the ps3 games aswell but sadly they aren't on Ps5 other then streaming. Hopefully they can make it backwards compatible. Can we get the trilogy on Ps5 aswell if your reading this which I doubt you are Sony.

    A brief of everything mentioned below.
    Things I didn't like. If I list these 1st then we can finish this on a positive note.
    Collecting raritanium feels a waste of time. I think it would be better if they were extremely rare but done a huge upgrade rather then loads of small ones. Also when you unlock zurkies you can farm them easily.
    Experienced a couple glitches 1 broke my savegame. (See below)
    Another SMG type weapon at the start would be nice.
    The phantom dash looks silly. Would be better with blue tracers. I disabled it in visual settings.
    More zurkies challenges would've been better. On R&C3 we got loads including the 100 round challenge, why didn't we get this in this game?
    Sniper was under powered.
    Freezing bosses shouldn't be possible, it made them a walk in the park. Just freeze then rocket and repeat any boss and you can kill them without taking a hit.
    Stop tying the ryno to collectibles. Just make a a challenge mode gun like before.
    You shouldn't make content that people can skip (puzzles). This should only be a feature in challenge mode.
    Stop telling me how to do things this should only be a feature on the lowest difficulty(s). I like to work things out yet the game basically tells you how to do everything.
    OP cheats not effecting the ability to unlock trophies. i.e invincibility
    Easiest difficulty giving you invincibility.
    Settings that make grind rails slow down during obstacles.
    No trophy for completion on harder difficulty's making the challenge unrewarding.
    The last few on the list I felt made the game dumbed down and made challenges pointless. Why am I going to complete the game on the hardest difficulty and put myself through the challenge if I don't get anything for it. You spent ages creating a difficulty that a huge minority are going to bother playing because there is no reason or reward.

    Things that were amazing.
    I love the new armour style. Collecting peaces of armour then give you passive effects without having to equip them is perfect. I never liked wearing helmets now I don't need to. Im so glad this replaced the cards from the previous instalment.
    The new puzzle were awesome, like glitch and clank dimensions. I hated them hacking/tresspassing in previous titles.
    The mechanics in the game were really well done and it feels solid and responsive. Not once did anything feel clunky.
    The guns worked really well, a couple a weapons that didn't really have a purpose was the ricochet and the shield. You got phantom drift too dodge, what the hell you need a shield for, the Holoshield was better in r&c3 as you could use your gun still.
    I love the story line in this game and I think it was set out really well.
    Loads of shooting aswell which I love. Its annoying when you play a shooting game and its packed with slow boring crap that takes you out of the fight which isn't the case here and I think they got the balance perfect between shooting, exploring and cutscenes.
    Maps don't feel linear and there is loads of hidden areas to explore.
    A way to choose graphic settings, you can choose HQ ray tracing at 30fps, performance ray tracing at 60fps (My personal choice) and No ray tracing for higher resolutions like 4k.
    The map textures look so great and I can understand why they went with the neon effect so they could really show off the ray tracing capability of the Ps5. I have never seen a ratchet and clank game look as nice as this one.
    I think the photo mode is a cool feature. I probably won't use it but I think its a good way to make a desktop wallpaper for your PC or something.
    The way the guns use the new triggers on the controller feels like like certain guns having a half press to lock on then full press to fire etc.
    The enemies in this game were fun competitors its just a shame the bosses were too easy to freeze I would have said they were all round perfect.
    I loved the way things were kind of like opposites in the second dimension like Mrs zorkon was a resistance fighter but she was a boss before, Zorkon was a weapon but now he's peaceful, and a few others things aswell but don't wanna spoil the game.
    1 great thing that should be in all R&C games is the charge boots have returned but have been improved. Please don't make me go without these again. You cant reverse the map extremely fast with these.

    Would I recommend this game?
    Yes if you own a Ps5 I would definitely say to grab this as a part of your collection. And after you complete it then give challenge mode a try for harder enemies but keep your weapons aswell!

    Finally, a true next-generation videogame experience.
    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.

    Final Rating: "Great" ~ 8/10.

    The best ratchet and clank game in a long time. Technically this game is very impressive with graphics better than the animated movie, ray tracing, instant loading times incorporated into the level design, and even perfect 60 fps making this the smoothest playing ratchet game since the ps2.

    The gameplay is the ratchet formula to near perfection with unique weapons that make good use of the dualsense's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers and the return of the hover boots which make movement during combat more fun than ever. The game is also decently long and replayable which is surprising considering insomniac just came out with miles morales less than a year before. The quantity of decent titles they put out is higher than any other studio right now.

    The problems I have are the same as the problems I had with ratchet ps4: the story and soundtrack. The story is an improvement over ps4 but comparing it to the ps2 games you can see how much they dumbed down the characters. Ratchet has no personality, they made him a generic kid's show character with none of the sarcasm or bite he had in the originals. His relationship with clank has no interesting conflict like in previous games, only the dimensionator stuff which leads to no real arguments or tension. The addition of Rivet and Kit makes up for this a little bit as by contrast they have a little more going on. I really like Kit's design and silly mannerisms. Overall there is little for older players to enjoy like in the ps2 games which had more mature jokes and world building.

    The soundtrack is more of the generic strings and horns they've been doing for a while. The older games (especially ratchet 1) had way more unique, memorable, and catchy tunes.

    Overall a solid game that leaves longtime fans like me a little disappointed in some aspects.

    Great come-back for PlayStations most beloved mascots. The graphics go crazy and the wide array of weapons make full use of this. However the dialogue can be cheesy and there isn't much of the cheeky edge that ratchet & clank once was known for. It also suffers from being on the short side.

    da una durata veramente poco elevata, ed essendomi durato 19 ore ovviamente non posso trovarmi d'accordo.
    altro grande punto a sfavore sono i livelli non giganteschi, o con collezionabili molto semplici da ottenere.
    e su questo non si può essere troppo in disaccordo.
    seppur la grandezza dei pianeti non è sempre troppo piccola, ma in generale i segreti sono pochi, e non troppo complessi da ottenere.
    un'altra cosa che ha fatto molto discutere sono i famigerati portali.
    quando il titolo era stato presentato tutti erano impazziti per questa meccanica, ma io avevo sempre detto che con molta probabilità ce ne sarebbero stati un paio in tutto il gioco e per il resto sarebbe stato un ratchet canonico, e così è stato.
    ma il gioco offre anche delle belle idee incentrate su di essi come ad esempio un cristallo da colpire che ci permetterà di cambiare dimensioni, e quindi esplorare un mondo in due versioni differenti.
    però le dichiarazioni fatte rimangono ancora oggi abbastanza ridicole, dato che nonostante il titolo sia davvero impressionante, è abbastanza ovvio che l'architettura di ps5 non sia fondamentale per farlo girare realmente.
    basti appunto vedere la recente versione pc, dove nelle richieste base per far girare il titolo non obbliga l'uso di un ssd.
    bugie di marketing a parte questo non toglie il fatto che il titolo rimane impressionante in tutto quello che fa.
    però una cosa che non ho apprezzato c'è stata.
    io nei platform tendo ad esplorare in modo parecchio creativo, saltando un po su ogni cosa possibile.
    e questo titolo ha dovuto giungere a dei compromessi per riuscire a rendere un mondo tanto bello da vedere ma dove spesso e volentieri ci si imbatte in muri invisibili. o punto dove non c'è assolutamente nulla ma ci schianteremo contro senza motivo, specialmente nelle sezioni dove cavalcheremo le varie creature del titolo. e questa cosa la si soffre molto nel secondo mondo dove è appunto incentrato su questa meccanica.
    si poteva fare qualcosina in più anche sulla diversificazione dei due personaggi, magari dando armi uniche per ognuno di essi, o magari un gameplay leggermente differente.
    invece qui ci ritroveremo a comprare/potenziare un'arma con ratchet , per poi ottenerla in automatico ance con rivet.
    quindi si è voluto puntare su una più semplice via dove non ci saranno differenze tra di essi, e che quindi sono dei semplici personaggi messi li per raccontarti un storia. non è necessariamente un male, ma si poteva indubbiamente fare qualcosina in più.
    per il resto il titolo mi è piaciuto molto in tutto, riuscendo a portare un più che valido titolo per la serie dove faccio davvero fatica a capire come mai a molti non sia piaciuto.

    I enjoyed my playthrough of Ratche & Clank: Rift Apart. Visually, the game is just stunning. The choice of a vibrant color palette coupled with next gen graphic processing really shows what the PS5 is capable of.

    In terms of gameplay, its not all half bad but does leave something to be desired for those of us seeking a more challenging experience. Even at higher difficulty levels, the game doesnt really present us with any real challenges. This could have been easily solved for example by making certain enemies more vulnerable to certain weapons, as was demonstrated masterfully in Doom eternal. Additionally, some of the controls are a bit cumbersome and there isnt much room for vastly customising them to help make switching between dash, etc more smoothly.

    The set pieces and level design are done quiet well, and when i consider the game as a whole I understand it s target audience may not necessarily be interested in razor edge death combat, and thats fine. While it might not wholly be to be liking, I am still happy that this game came out and has something to offer for everyone.

Nothing beats seeing enemies doing a disco dance. What disappointed me is the story and length of the game. It took me about 8 hours to complete which I would not have any issue with normally. But the first 5 hours are ok with the story really ramping up after 6 hours. And then it ends…….

    For some reason I didn’t really engage with the story. It feels like the story was chosen to fit in demonstrating the incredibly quick load times of the ps5 rather than an original idea. Still, it’s a game I would still highly recommend.

Shooting with tactile triggers is poorly implemented, it is very inconvenient to hold the button halfway, well, these are most likely features of a very weak dualsense resistance.

    My score is a bit complicated. I guess you could say "It depends"
    If you are buying it for your kids or you really enjoy children cartoons, this game could be 8/10 for you. If you don't, then it's 6/10 at most. Let me now explain my views in detail.

    The Plot.
    10/10 or 5/10 depending on who you are.
    First let's address this. This game's plot - is basically a Disney cartoon for elementary school aged children. As a cartoon, it strikes all the right notes, so if you like children's movies - this is pretty much as good as they go.
    For me personally - it's just not interesting. I enjoy more adult storytelling, and this type of story is pretty boring for me. It's not cringe or anything, but it's just not very deep, and is not stimulating enough for me. I genuinely couldn't wait until the game was over.
    So this part strongly depends on your personal tastes. There's nothing wrong with liking cartoons even if you're an adult, but I think this point alone makes this game not immediately recommendable to absolutely everyone.

    The Gameplay
    it's 6/10. It's basically a 1-button gameplay, where your entire fighting is about pressing the shoot button and dodging. The enemies generally have 1 melee attack and some of them have 1 shooting attack. You basically press dodge if they get close, and keep shooting, and that's about it for the gameplay.
    The weapons are many, and they are very creative and different, very unique. That's until you realize that they pretty much don't change your gameplay AT ALL, they just kill enemies with different animations.
    The game has a lot of gimmicks that feel good enough for the platformer, so the platforming is on-point, but I can't say that this alone saves the entire game.
    The problems of the game design are many.
    Frequently, you are just left clueless about some things, until you progress far enough. You will find puzzles that you technically can solve right away but you just don't know how. And there are other puzzles that look like they are solvable, when in reality you actually just don't have the right tool yet. These elements waste your time if you are a completionist and want to clear everything as you go.
    Another problem is that the levels are riddled with invisible walls to block you from solving puzzles. Frequently your tools are enough to get to some hidden loot, but an invisible wall blocks you, because the developers want you to get there through a different route. And sometimes it's not at all obvious what is expected from you. Another such mechanic is just insta-death triggers if you get where you aren't supposed to be. This adds unnecessary frustration to the game, especially for attentive players who notice the hidden items in the distance and don't wait to the end game to collect them.
    The last point is difficulty. Because it's basically a 1-button game targeted at kids, the difficulty here is weird. The gameplay is very basic, and you just can't crank the AI to be more challenging. So what they do is they just give you very low health and make attacks hurt a lot, while turning enemies into bullet sponges. I did not find this fun at all, and switched back to medium.

    The Bugs.
    Unfortunately, the game is pretty buggy, although none of that causes crashes or breaks the progress. There are missing textures where you aren't supposed to see, missing geometry so you fall through the ground, etc. The character will often get stuck in the falling animation if you jump on the edge of the platform, and dies if you don't get out of that state fast enough. Some enemies get glitched inside of geometry. For me, the final achievement didn't count initially. Thankfully, I could start with the last checkpoint and just skip the cinematic to get it in a minute, but that's still a bug.
    Generally speaking, the game is very unpolished.

    So is it Next Gen though?
    No.
    One of the marketed features was how well the game uses PS5 SSD to instantly load levels. And that was demonstrated through the use of portals and how they switch dimensions.
    I will disappoint someone here, but frankly - you can do exactly the same seamless transition on PC or an old-style SSD on PS4. There's nothing groundbreaking about that - you just keep both locations loaded when you expect to need them. And those locations are not complex enough to cause any sort of memory concern if you do that.
    The absence of loading times is nice, but that's not next gen.
    Graphically, the game doesn't look anything special. Due to the style, you don't really need high fidelity textures and models. It looks very good, a playable Pixar cartoon, if you will, but don't expect any "WOW!" effect.

    overall, I recommend waiting for a sale to play this one, or even skip it. Unless you have kids or really enjoy these stories, in which case - sure, go for it now!

    After spending 7-8 with the game and almost Platinuming it the game presentation is gorgeous and voice acting is done well but the gameplay and variety is not as innovative as I was expecting where I hold hope for the next one when the ps5 has been out for a few years will truly be something to see would I remember yes but not at the £70 price tag wait for a drop or preowned

In these day and age where RPGs and grinding has ruined video games and become the norm is the reason I bought PS5 for only games Insomniac will be developing in the future. For me Spider-Man 2018 was the game of the generation. I can't believe I have 100hours in a game that takes 20 hours to complete.

    - Enemy verity I think is lacking but still a fun game to play through

    - All the rivet is an great addiction for story telling I just think she should have been part of the story and Play as Ratchet and Clank. When I am playing rivet It just feels like playing as a reskinned Ratchet. If you were to have amazing unique rivet and Kit gameplay, and even then you play way too much time playing rivet(Almost more than half the game). In the and this is a RATCHET AND CLANK GAME! not Rivet and Kit(Just make a new ip with unique gameplay instead).

    - Story was ok with no emotions, no funny dialogue that made the original engaging in that department.

    This why worry about Insomniac Games becoming another generic Sony studio with agendas. Looks like they haven't put thought in like the other games or the older experienced developers have left with millennials in charge. I mean even in miles morels the Line "he's our Spider-Man" was a bit cringe and came out during Black Lives Matter says what's happening to insomniac. Spider-Man was always everyones hero no matter what the skin colour. The line was as if Peter Parker didn't help black people and now we have a superhero that helps black people. The line could've been That's Spider-Man.

    De lo mejor graficamente de ps5 sin duda, lo que pasa es que es muy corto, la jugabilidad muy simple cosa que me aburrio, vendian los portales como algo nuevo y no afecta en nada 0 innovacion, el cambio de skin a rivet me resulto poco trabajado. Se vende como un AAA, 80e precio oficial y ni me resulta AAA ni vale 80e, llama la atencion graficamente pero eso no justifica el precio.

    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]
