    Game not of my liking to be honest, too easy and short, hopefully the series improves in the near future.

    Creo que narrativamente puede dar mucho más de sí, pero es un derroche de creatividad, espectacularidad y buen hacer. Es simplemente un juego muy agradable y divertido de jugar, y lo más impresionante a nivel técnico que he visto en lo que va de generación.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart is an amazing game and is the best game in the series. The game utilizes the SSD capabilities for new capabilities for example you go through an interdimensional gate there are no loading times at all and the transition is immediate and does not impair the flow of the game, and the graphics wow !!!!! This game is one of the most beautiful games I have seen in my life, amazing that we were able to get to the graphics levels of a Pixar movie and it is just amazing. The gameplay in the game is very fun and identical to the gameplay of the previous game in the series "Ratchet & Clank" which came out in 2016 with new additions that I will let you experience for yourself. The story in the game is just great and it manages to convey it to us in an interesting funny and fun way I will not give spoilers to the plot so as not to ruin your experience. Ratchet & Clank is an excellent simple game and I recommend to anyone who buys a PlayStation 5 and wants a game that will show him the next generation of games to buy this game because it will really provide you with what you are looking for.… Expand

    Feels like a PS4 game with minor additions. Game is very short with low replay value. More of a rental.

    Another mediocre, lazy effort, run of the mill third person kids action adventure - wasn't this done to death back in the PS3 era?

    Sorry, but I expect more than a kids action adventure on the "next gen" platform I paid $500 for.

    This game is a wonderful delight for every age! Took me about 25 hours to 100% complete it with Platinum and the NG+ offers some more progression which adds to the replay value. Graphics are incredible Pixar movie like quality and performance is stable too with no crashes at all. This is how a game should be released these days! Awesome work and thanks from the bottom of my heart Insomniac Games

    After completing the game, I have so many different feelings: the story was amazing, the details & graphics were astonishing, the introduction of Rivet & Kit and the switching gameplay from one character to another made the game awesome and fun to play! Loved the cinematics too, really felt like you were playing in a movie and you lived like the character.

This game is gorgeous with each and every captivating detail that perfectly captures what the power of the PS5 can do and it's insane. The technical capabilities such as the visual enhancement modes, sound mixing, haptic dualsense feedback, visual effects, and overall presentation is what shines throughout Ratchet and Clank's latest space adventure that made an exhilarating first impression on the PS5. There are bits of fun in terms of exploration and emotion when it comes to a story that grabs you in the action and it's quite memorable. Let's not forget that Rivet and Kit made a fantastic feminine duo that made this entry unique and they're very well written. This is arguably the best thing that ever happened to Ratchet and Clank since the glory days the duo had during the PS2-3 era and I applaud Insomniac Games for bringing back the feeling of being an adventurous hero.… Expand

    This game is, without a doubt, essential if you own a PS5. The visuals are just stunning. Perhaps the best looking game on PS5 so far with Demon's Souls. As of everything else, this game shines as well.

    The gameplay is tons of fan with incredibly good variety of weapons, great use of DualSense and way better abilities that make the gameplay tons of more fun than the other of the series.

    Also, for the fans of the explorers in games like me, I must say that it felt way more open to exploring and I loved that. But, this created another problem as well: Some bugs with textures, which are minor per se, but they is a fair amount of them. Bus don't appear only on exploring, but you experience them while playing in general. But, nothing is game breaking, and they are extremely minor in a sense where you don't mind at all.

    As of the story, it's simple and nothing special, but it's charming with some funny moments and characters.

    Another thing I want to point out specifically, because I found it as an amazing addition, are the mods and cosmetics Insomniac added if you collect side items making them way more important than just to 100%.

    To sum up, this game is one of the best games you will play on PS5 and it's essential.    … Expand

    The game is short, around 10 hours but I enjoy it more than longer games with boring side quests like Witcher 3 or Assassin’s creed. Definitely needs more boss battles and variety in enemies. It’s not challenging enough for experienced players.    … Expand

    Level Design;
    RIft apart has one of the best level design in any game. The level designs are so deep that even the objects that are so far away feel lively and convincing enough that their existence isn't merely a to fill the 3d space. Right from the city to grasslands to the pub, I was stunned by how well designed the level and how deep the subtle things in the level are. Ex: In the gastro pub, a waitress goes to each table to get the order, people are drinking, some are dancing, bartender even mixes the cocktail, you can feel the musical vibrations if you go closer to the music etc.

    Dialogue delivery: This is exactly why I like Insomniac games and what I missed in Spider man games. After playing Sunset Overdrive, this is the game where they revived the wittiness of what Insomniac games are made of, their subtle take on capitalism got my attention!

    Game length: I know this is controversial topic but I think the game length is okay. At least for me, personally, as I don't have time to play hours and hours anymore. Moreover, I honestly feel it's better to make a great game even if it's shorter than make a lengthy one with too much grind and repetitiveness.

    Narration: The characters portray emotions well and doesn't feel superficial. invoking empathy in games isn't common and I was pleasantly surprised to see Rift Apart acing this aspect of the game.

    Overall, I can go on talking about other stuff like funny weapons, humorous bosses, weird enemies who ask for a raise in their pay, insane loading times which are non existent, haptic feedback as good as Astro's playroom etc. This game is a masterpiece. Period.    … 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]
