    Really good game, in my opinion this is so far the best Ratchet and Clank game. The story are very good and graphics on PS5 is outstanding, ray tracing is amazing. Overall this is a very good game, highly recommend it to any PS5 users.

    Awesome looking game with a great combat system. Can be played quickly or slowly with many choices during fights, due to a big amount of upgradeable guns and other gameplay mechanics. With around 15 to 20 hours for some people maybe a bit too short, but i extremly enjoyed this wonderfull game.

    Ich bin wirklich kein übergroßer Ratchet & Clank Spiel und das obwohl ich bis jetzt jedes Spiel gespielt habe, egal ob auf Heimonsolen, oder auf den Handhelds, aber dieses Spiel hat mich wirklich überrascht, abgesehen von der unfassbar schönen und spektakulären Grafik, hat dieses Spiel auch noch so viel mehr zu bieten.

Die Geschichte ist sehr spannend und an manchen Punkten extrem spektakulär inszeniert (Ich sage nur die Flucht vor der Krake), zudem gefallen mir die neuen Protagonisten Rivet und Kid auch extrem, sie sind lustig, liebenswert und haben zudem jeweils eine sehr gute Hintergrund Geschichte, das einzige was man dem Spiel vorwerfen kann ist die extrem kurze Spielzeit von etwa 6 Stunden, denn sogar das für die kurze Spielzeit von Fans gehasste (aber von mir trotzdem geliebte) The Order 1868 hat immerhin eine Story die etwa 10 Stunden umfasst. Auch wenn diese kurze Spielzeit durchaus schade ist und man für 70€ eigentlich mehr bekommen sollte muss ich dem Spiel einfach 10 Punkte geben.
    Ich kann jedem einzelnen, egal ob groß, oder klein nur empfehlen dieses Spiel zu spielen.

To start with the graphics, this game (which is obviously not meant to be realistic) works with Ray Tracing and resolution like a blacksmith with a swotd. It is one of the best-looking games the console has to offer, among Demon's Souls, Spiderman Miles Morales and Returnal. You will feel astonished by the lighting, and the palette of colors, and the details put into EVERY character. Even in the ones who don't play a crucial role in the story.
    The gameplay is also worth mentioning. Every R and C game shines in a unique way because of the gameplay, and this is no difference. I won't spoil you so I cannot specify more, but I will say that you will have a great time and a feeling of pure joy. Of course this is not a perfect game as such thing is impossible, in fact it still has to polish a bit more removing some bugs... However this game really is worth of the price and I absolutely believe everyone who gives it a try will fall in love with the story and the evolution of the characters.    … Expand

    Truly a next gen game! Also as a mild ratchet fan this is an instant classic that is easily one of the best in the series. Nothing to complain about. Ratchet improves so much visually with each installment, I can’t even fathom how good the next one will look!

    Cons:
    - no replayablitity because at least half of screentime is cinematics
    - poor planet count - basically no challenge mode (bronze cup on first playthrough is harder than this mode) - expensive (75$+500$ console) - only like 3 different boss models - boss designs were either non existent or almost fully scripted - some weapon combinations stronger and others are simply weak    Cons:

    - expensive (75$+500$ console)
    - only like 3 different boss models
    - boss designs were either non existent or almost fully scripted
    - some weapon combinations stronger and others are simply weak themself and barely replace melee (razor blades, knockback shield,..)
    - lot of missed opportunities like oldschool "disguise" passages on the decorateur or prison scene. Another opportunity to add would be a hoverboot tourney/obstacle course
    - minigame/puzzles felt irrelevant and weak for the r&c series
    - no sandbox
    - no vehicles / no well known spaceship customization
    - no co-op
    - smaller issues with clipping/falling
    - no online
    - no real secondary questing / planet exploring
    - no custom lobbies
    - difficulties to chose: easy - easy - easy or easy
    - weapons too strong, too easy to level and too much ammo (easy addition could be to make certain enemies more vulnerable to certain weapons)
    - no actual challenge runs (specfic weapons, no raritarium,...)
    Pros:
    + astonishing story and cinematics
    + almost as perfect use of dual sense as astrobot
    + graphics/performance balanced perfectly
    + good audio with alot of humor and gimmicky lines
    + cool hoverboot concept as the only real extension to a not existent sandbox - also broke all maps/made them rather irrelevant in design appeal
    + good characters, kit and rivet fit the unverse really well
    + nice controls
    + really well made UI/UX
    + really lovable photo mode
    + cinematic presentation and interesting settings
    + weapon upgrades had some good twists and features
    + lovable worlds and creatures

    + good base with room for "game service" updates that would justify 75$ (planets, challenge runs with awards on save file or in rivets hideout, multiplayer, horde arenas, another boss design to make it at least 2 bosses,... so much potential to justify 75$)

    Resulting:

    10/10 first playthrough when you want a casual experience
    - make it 9/10 because the price tag

    7.8/10 up to 8.1/10 in total considering you want a video game and not a 75$ movie with potential to 10/10 when introduing i.e. a "game as a service" 2-year-roadmap.

The planets are painfully linear and designed with very little creativity; the new "gadgets" acting as design crutches to thoughtlessly warp from point-A-to-B rather than requiring the developer to cleverly design the layout of the planets to wrap around themselves in new and interesting ways present in past releases. Think of the map differences between Dark Souls 1 and 2 for comparison.

    The vast majority of weapons are re-skins of past entries which is honestly fine as most RaC weapons are fun in and of themselves, but again nothing really "new" or "innovative" here. Combat feels a little clunky and I attribute a lot of that to many enemies' homing attacks which hit with very little warning as well as the lowered camera and more "over the shoulder" view present in most modern games rather than the higher camera views that allow more viewing area. The sub-bosses are very limited; approximately three to four throughout the whole game that are re-skinned over and over. The boss fights are pretty epic and grandiose, a high point of the game for sure alongside the eye-candy of the grind rail sections which are beautiful the first time but utterly forgettable and bereft of interaction compared to previous entries.

    The arena, a staple in every major Ratchet release, is painfully lacking. The puzzles start strong but fizzle over time as nothing really changes from puzzle to puzzle and no new elements are introduced. The "side missions" with the hacking robot are painfully simple and straightforward. More than anything they highlight the writers' inability to create interesting characters beyond ham-fistedly harping on their "positive qualities" until I'm sick to death of hearing them reassure themselves every four seconds. The pocket dimension challenges are anything but challenging mostly consisting of linear jaunts over a few asteroids toward an armor pickup and a rift skip back to the beginning. Same goes for the Gold Bolts, most of which sit idly in fields or just around easily-accessible corners. Exploration in this game is almost non-existent and very slimly rewarded when present.

    My first playthrough lasted around 10 hours, and to be honest a huge majority of that time is spent watching cutscenes and story, which is also pretty mediocre and standard fare. Challenge mode is going to take far less time, and I honestly don't know if I'm even going to finish it.

    Compared to the older titles in the series Rift Apart is a mediocre, uninspiring Ratchet entry that's worth a rent but definitely doesn't live up to the $70 price tag. Once the initial shock of the graphics wears off and people start realizing how weak this game is under the hood I expect the scores will steadily decline.

    I regard the original trilogy as the best trilogy in PS history for reference, and this will be the first Ratchet and Clank game I sell after completing. This series is no longer worthy of pre-orders, and I absolutely hate that they've migrated away from innovative, fun gameplay with solid replay value in favor of graphics, set-pieces, "movie stories", and more of an instant gratification layout.

    The Ratchet of old is pretty clearly dead. He deserved better.    … Expand

    If I had to give a negative it is a bit short for the price however considering all the other advancements and work that has gone in a sacrifice of length is worth it. If you spend time doing all side quests and collectibles you can probably finish the game in 12-14hrs depending how quick you are. The game itself just looks fantastic, better than a ratchet and Clank game has any right too.If I had to give a negative it is a bit short for the price however considering all the other advancements and work that has gone in a sacrifice of length is worth it.

There's multiple types of puzzle missions that are all entertaining. 0 load times make for a game that runs incredibly smoothly. I don't think there's something in this game I can change to improve it tbh. While it is short compared to some other R&C games, it is on par with the first ratchet and Clank or into the nexus in terms of length the extra content makes it worth it and the narrative also fits very well into the current length.… 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 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]
