    Big fan of the ratchet and clank series although I felt the story was too short. May have just been me and time flew by quickly but I was wishing there was more at the end. Still phenomenal game and a great example of this new generations possibilities.

    Eines der besten Ratchet and Clank Spiele überhaupt. Grafisch und Spielerisch sehr gut umgesetzt. Auch die Spielzeit ist genau richtig.

    I am not a hard core gamer but I am glad that there is a rookie level. I am at level 5. Normally I can’t pass level one on these games but paying 70 bucks makes you try harder lol I love the graphics and unique level of play. Not sure if I can finish it but hey at least I got further than expected.

    Es una decaída en la saga, no aporta nada al genero, y la dificultad es nula en todo momento. Puede aburrir facilmente

    Muy bonitas graficas pero saliendo de eso, todo lo demás es mucho peor que el de playstation 4, demasiado fácil y corto para los 80 dolares, como la gran mayoría de los juegos de playstation , mucha cinemática y narrativa pobre y poco gameplay innovador, lo siento. Mejor vean una película de Pixar.

    Once again, 'A Crack in Time' still remains as the best game in the series. If you're a hardcore Ratchet & Clank Fan, Rift Apart will definitely disappoint you.

If you're a hardcore Ratchet & Clank Fan, Rift Apart will definitely disappoint you. Rift Apart has amazing graphics, but thats where the good begins and ends. The story is completely watered-down and doesn't acknowledge any of the previous entries in the series. Ratchet and Clank are sidelined to make way for their female counterparts who are not fleshed out properly given that the game is at most, 12 hours-long.

    Gameplay is the exact same as it was in 2009, but with new, underwhelming weapons. No, you don't get to personally modify your weapons. Its the same boring system that R&C 2016 had where you slightly upgrade 'ammo-count' or 'slightly increase damage', which leads to every player having the same weapons by the endgame. No space exploration as well, which is disappointing. The writing is terrible, with cliche & cringey lines about friendship and "doing the right thing".

    The best thing about this game is how the controller feels when you shoot a gun. It feels exciting when you fire a shotgun with both barrels by fully pressing the trigger on the controller with resistance.

    No idea how people are giving this 9/10's or 10's. If you want a game to shut-up your kids, this is it. However, if you're an adult, you should really get help.    … Expand

    One of the worst games I’ve played this year. I do not recommend this game to anyone.

    Absolutely terrible. This game basically plays itself. You can watch a video on it and have the same experience there is no point to buy it. Lazy game.

    Graficamente el juego esta bien pero es extremadamente fácil y extremadamente corto; y los dos personajes jugables se manejan exactamente igual,

    Une claque visuel et un game play qui fonctionne parfaitement bien. J’ai aimé parcourir cette aventure et je suis pressé de le refaire ainsi que d’attendre une suite, merci au développeurs.

    I struggled to find anything wrong. It was a pleasure from start to finish: Insane graphics and performance with addictive, smooth gameplay, amazing use of dual sense haptics, side/mini missions I actually wanted to complete, and a host of quality of life improvements on the previous PS4 version.

    Great game, but not much story and that was disappointing that I paid 70$ but this got just about 7 hours of gameplay!
    That was great game anyway

    El mejor juego del 2021, gran variedad de armas, historia entretenida, personajes alucinantes, jugabilidad perfecta y sin tiempos de cargas prácticamente ademas de unos gráficos a muy alto nivel. Ademas de ser una saga legendaria, es un juego que no decepciona y que merece la pena tener.

    Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is just phenomenal. It has great and likable characters, fun and satisfying gameplay, great level design and gripping soundtrack. There are some minor problems like invisible walls in places you wouldn’t expect, but overall it is an absolutely fantastic game that you don’t want to miss!

    This game is overhyped. Once you beat its very short, easy and boring campaign the game has nothing more to offer. No replay value at all. Terrible game

    This game is amazing, the environnement, the colors everything is perfect. The gameplay is really fun, all the weapons are cool. The game can be short, but keep in mind i'ts always action, action and action. Platinum take me 17h

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game with a huge focus on story, characters, and world-building. I don't remember the last time when the story absorbed me so much. Yes, there are a few bugs here are there, but nothing game-breaking. Usually minor visual glitches.… Expand

    Really enjoyed the game. Im a big fan since childhood, and this takes me back in. Some of the ps3 games were not that good, and the ps4 game was really bad, but this one really is a master piece. I dont give a 10 because i miss Ratchet personality being more edgy.

    As a fan of play station I must say that it annoys me how bad this game is, it cuts easy and boring, I didn't like it at all

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Wasn't worth the money imo and didn't feel like a next gen game. Could easily have been released on PS4

    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]
