    Hier passt einfach alles, Grafik, Abwechslung, Spielspaß usw...
    Story ist klasse erzählt. Levels sind sehr abwechslungsreich und der Humor ist auch top. Wer eine PS5 hat sollte das Spiel auf jeden Fall in seine Sammlung aufnehmen.

    OMG I looooooove this game. It looks stunning, it plays amazingly and it as a heartwarming story and unforgettable characters. I can’t wait to see (and play obviously) the next chapter in R&C adventures

    That's exactly what the PlayStation 5 needed, I played the game through within 2 days and it was terrific. The graphics are the most beautiful I've ever seen, the characters are adorable, the portals function extremely well and the gameplay is incredibly fun.

Well, this is Next Generation, Ratchet and Clank is one of the largest Sony franchises and one of the most undervalued and it is a shame because many great games that this franchise has played, and now Ratchet and Clank has returned continuing with what has already been seen. in the saga of the future in an independent story for new and for veterans, if you are a veteran and a big fan of this saga you will get more than a tear when you see one or another reference to previous installments of the saga.… Expand

    I found myself grinning like an idiot so many times while playing, swept away by the love and charm and Insomniac put into this game.

    I've already platinumed it, on my challenge mode playthrough now. Insomniac learned from the previous game and didn't make any bogus trophies that require a playthrough on their own. (*Cough looking at you grooveatron)

    Can't recommend this game enough to fans and newcomers alike.    … Expand

    I've played most of the games of this franchise. I would say that my favorite would be the original trilogy, with Up Your Arsenal being my favorite. It's been a long time since we've had a real entry, I'm not counting the 2016 one as that was just not good.

    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.    … Expand

    Pretty boring and childish game, easily one of the weakest Sony exclusives, thank god Xbox was there to deliver in 2021, because Sony had basically no games at all that were worth playing.

There’s a great opening full of action. The ending is also good & full of action. It definitely will lead to a sequel. But the middle part gets a bit repetitive. I started dreading going to the different planets because it was always the same activity. The enemies are not varied- especially mini-bosses which are exactly the same every time. I’m not the biggest fan of the Clank puzzles- although they were something different. They could’ve had more creative weapons. I did have fun most of the game, and I can’t say I hated it. It didn’t feel as much tailored for just kids as the 2016 game. Only took me about 10 hours to complete- without going for Platinum. Overall I think it’s a good game- and a great showcase for the PS5. I’d recommend it if you can get it on a good sale.… 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.

    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]
