    Some many flashbacks from my young age, when i played ratchet 3 on ps2, my first console game.
    Amazing colors, effect ? so many weapons and upgrade, levels and RIFT location without loading time its a brain explode thing.

    Dissapointing, overpriced, promotes woke culture, very short duration, one of the same, feels more like a movide and less like a game. No. Just no!

    4,5 hours of game excluding its cutscenes. 6 hours of game including its cutscenes. Same mechanics, gimmick controls, it was very promoted for its ssd abilities, yet in game the game loads way slower than it was advertised. Hit boxes during fight moments do their own things. Bitter feelin once youll beat it cause its not worth of even $20. This game should be rented for a week at max price of $4.

    Encore une pépite d'insomniac! À acheter sans hésiter. Magnifique, stable, histoire dynamique, un côté grandiose. Parfait. Continuez Insomniac!

    Overpriced and overrated interactive movie for kids. Boring and repetitive gameplay, woke story, gimmicky features. Don't waste your time and money on this game.

    For all it's prettiness and technology, as a game it never quite goes beyond 'alright'. If you've never been able to get into the Ratchet & Clank series before then don't expect you ever will.

    My childhood/teens I grew up on Ratchet & Clank. So will always have a special place in my heart
    of a much loved franchise.

    Rift Apart is a stunning telling of story and adventure with crisp graphics and a
    insane level of high dynamic range.

    Must buy!

    Truly an awesome game with amazing visuals and gameplay my only gripe is its quite but shorter than other ratchet adventures and quite often the same mini bosses come up throughout the game probing they didn't have aslong as they liked to make the game.

    Incredible game. Played through it 4 times and trying to sort of speedrun it is super fun as well. The controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers are on point.
    The only reason i'm giving this a 9 is because even with all things considered i dont think its worth a full 70 dollars since its only around 10 hours that it took me for my first playthrough and its not like the story is    Incredible game.

    This is such a fun game! The action is so fun and unique. It also displays the ps5 power better than anything out yet. There is just no way to describe how great it looks and feels. I do wish the game was a bit longer, being that it is so darn fun. Best ps5 game out imo

    Easily the best game in the franchise. The weapon variety is top class. Art direction is great and has so many details in every location. It's obvious that Insomniac focused on making this a fun and entertaining experience. Game is only made even better by the visual options, game looks absolutely stunning on my OLED tv.
    A true must play for anyone who owns or is looking to get a PS5.

    If we're talking about PS5-exclusive games, I would say this would be my favorite out of the small pool of PS5-exclusives out there. To some, that may not be saying much, but I say it as I think it may be a while before another PS5-exclusive comes out that's just as good, if not better.

To some, that may not be saying much, but I say it as I think it may be a while before another PS5-exclusive comes out that's just as good, if not better.

    I have a very soft spot for the classic Ratchet & Clank games, and my opinions on the remake were a bit mixed. I enjoyed it, but I very much the classic PS2 game and its sequels. But as soon as I saw Rift Apart, I knew it was going to be great, and they delivered. They improved just about everything from the 2016 remake and made a top tier game for the series on a brand new, advanced console that works great with it. Rift Apart could probably be reason enough to get a PS5.

    One criticism that people have had with the newer Ratchet games compared to the classic ones was its departure from darker toned story telling and focusing on a more comedic style. I can't say I share the problem, but when viewed in the spirit of the new reboot series, it works incredibly well! There's nothing wrong with a comedic game so long as it's done well and doesn't take away from stakes at hand, and I think Rift Apart has a good balance of that. It doesn't take itself too seriously, but still maintains a fun and goofy adventure throughout.

    The story is not bad, albeit I usually take issue when it comes to multi-dimensional stories, mostly because they're sloppily told, trying to be too big while not tying enough loose ends. Rift Apart keeps the lore about it small and contained, only enough to serve the purpose the game has, therefore less room to screw the overall lore and worldbuilding. Outside of the dimensional travel, the character story telling is quite nice. While staying small and contained, you get to know Rivet and Kit rather well, and some of the new side characters are fun and give the game a lot more life. The way they tie certain aspects of character backstory together is pretty good and is overall a satisfying story to progress in.

    The biggest problem with the game is the length. It's one of the shortest Ratchet games, but what it was able to put into its small playtime is a lot! There's so much to do and explore, so while there may not be as many planets to visit like in previous games, some of the planets have a little bit more to offer and explore. I can understand why it would be hard to justify a $70 price tag for a shorter game in the series, but aside from all that, I don't have any major issues with the game.

    The controls are also rather good, although sometimes swapping between weapons takes a bit too long. The haptic triggers on the PS5 Dualsense controller add a lot to the feel of the game and almost wish the previous games that this kind of control scheme. The combat is fast paced, fun, and fair, definitely more so than some situations in the classic PS2 games.

    I wouldn't say this is my favorite Ratchet & Clank game, but it was great to experience a brand new story with these two rather than just a retelling. I do hope Insomniac continues the series on the PS5 with some new adventures to come! Definitely a must play for any PS5 owner!    … Expand

    As an long time Ratchet and Clank fan this is one the best entries in the series. The visuals and action scenes are truly spectacular. By far the best gameplay the series has ever seen. The only negative thing I have with the game is I wish it was longer!

    Hoping Insomniac continues to make great entries into this beloved series.

    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]
