    A masterpiece! Gameplay, gunplay super fun, insane beautiful visuals, never seen anything like this before! Rivet is adorable... My advice : play on hard difficulty, it is more challenge

    Excellent game. Great script, fun gameplay and amazing graphics. Maybe the only game of “new generation” so far.

    This is truly a next gen, from the graphics to the no loading between levels and switching between maps while playing. The only little nitpick is for me is some action you need to do are sometimes not very clear and a indicator that an enemy is behind me would have been nice, but this is just nitpicking. Thnx Insomniac for making very good games

    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.

My only complaints are the very low difficulty (I don't play a lot of shooters and I had to adjust the difficulty to "Very Hard" over the course of the game to get even a slight sense of challenge), some minor control quirks (e.g. being unable to switch off the hover boots mid-jump), the lack of enemy variety and memorable stand-out boss fights, and the servicable, but somewhat forgettable soundtrack.

    Overall, just a really well-rounded and polished experience that every PS5 owner should get.    … Expand

    Insomiac surpasses himself again, each installment that he makes of his games is one more step towards perfection, a game with a lot of charisma, personality, but above all made with a lot of love for the fans. Compulsory purchase for those who have a PS5.

    Gameplay and graphics are absolutely outstanding as they usually are for Ratchet & Clank games. Voice acting is great for the most part, and the animations are nearly perfect. The only tiny things that bother me is the "decent" story, "decent" writing, and the fact that Ratchet feels slightly overshadowed by Rivet.

    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.

    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

    Классический геймплей Рэтчета по схеме run-and-gun, но только в новой, некстгеновой обработке. Отличные катсцены и персонажи, не уступающие крупным, современным мультфильмам. Не верьте слухам на счёт короткой продолжительности, 15-20 часов игра возьмёт.

    It's a hella fun jump n run / 3rd person shooter with gorgeous Pixar Film-like visuals.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Such an amazing game, I platinumed it three days ago, and I keep thinking about going back and replaying it again and again, I never felt that way before, and its such a beautiful game, probably the most beautiful on PS5 so far, the ray-tracing is spectacular, voice acting and animations are superb, and combat and weapons are incredibly fun.

    The only reason I didn't score this at 10 are because of these slight gripes I had with the game:

    - Enemies are not varied enough, mostly same robots (they're more varied later on, but look essentially the same) and Thugs-4-Less guys from beginning of game, mini-bosses also get repeated a bunch with no difference (juggernauts) or minimal difference like the pirate juggernauts but they have too similar of move sets (stomp then beam, rinse and repeat).

    - Omega weapons were disappointing, thought there would be a big difference between level 5 and Omega, but the difference is just in power, no cool effects added as far as I know.

    - Protagonists repeat dialogue too often, I don't need to have Clank and Rivet say the same story lines over and over again just because I temporarily exit and come back to a place when its needed, like in Arena (from Arena to vendor and back), and I don't need Clank or Ratchet to constantly remind me that I got to go to the mission points when I just want to explore first, it gets annoying.

    - UI and game explanations need slight improvement, like show that you can buy all upgrades for a weapon by pressing triangle from the weapon selection menu of Upgrades, and it should be explained that the more damage you do with a weapon, the faster it levels (tested with Ice and Topiary).

    This is definitely the best Ratchet and Clank game though, and I absolutely loved jetting around with the jet boots, I really hope they're in the next installment, and I can't wait for more!    … Expand

    This game maintains the greatness this series established long ago. It features the usual hectic combat, ridiculous upgradeable arsenal, and witty humor.

    Finally, the textures of the models, animations and Ray Tracing light effects are very well done, always giving the impression of playing a Pixar or DreamWorks animation.

    Fantastic game that is probably the best looking game ever released. If you're a fan of previous R&C games you'll feel right at home. The gameplay is very similar to the previous games which is not a bad thing. Lots of guns, enemies, and amazing set pieces. Highly recommended for PS5 owners.

    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]
