    O game é muito bom, bem fluido, gráficos show de bola e jogatina frenética.
    História bem dublada vale cada centavos.

    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

    It is more Ratchet and Clank...... 100% upgrade from the previous game. It's nice to see progress.

    Proper next gen title... and then some. Probably the best R&C game ever and one of the best games of the year. Insomnicac did an immense job with this title and the only bad thing about it is that a game this good and polished takes A LOT of time.Can't wait fo the next one!!!

    Best graphics this generation. Amazing art style and character designs. Extremely fun gameplay loop with very original weapons. Rivet is just a lovely character and very charismatic . Dualsense integration is top notch. Truly a ps5 killer app

    It's a must play game the graphics are amazing the story the world the characters and everything in between is above and beyond the only thing that i didn't like is that there's not much enemy variety but it's not a big issue because the game is short

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have played It 4 times since launch, and after hours i can say this game its one Of the best Game Insomniac give us. Incredible and new weapons, charming characters (Rivet and Kit are awesome), spectacular worlds and effects... I can only say good things about this game. The only "issue" i found its that the RYNO feels a bit unpowered, if u put the Game with RPG option to see numbers Of the damage from our weapons sometimes other weapons deal more damage than the RYNO, but Its still powefull, and the OST its amazing too… Expand

    High octane action, amazing voice acting, touching story, and beautiful graphics (just eye candy for you to watch). You can feel the passion that the developers put into this game. The only complaint I have is the lack of enemy and boss variety. You must play this if you have a Ps5. Worth the 70$ for the replayability. I feel bad for people who haven't gotten a Ps5 yet.

The steller collection of weapons are back here again as well. While there aren't as many as past entries, the ones that are in here are highly memorable, and extremely fun to use. The most memorable one by far is the Ryno 8: the fact that it can create a portal and send items from other Sony IPs into the Rift Apart world is super creative and imaginative. Definitely an A in that regard.


    Rivet is another great addition to the series as well. She has an enthusiastic personality and a nice change of scenery from playing as the regulars all the time.

    Last but not least are the graphics. Oh my God are they fantastic. From the beautiful scenery and lush particle effects, to the ray traced character designs and gorgeous flora and fauna. R&C Rift Apart is a beautiful display for the next generation of gaming and an exciting start for what's to come. A great future is ahead!    … Expand

    A perfect Ratchet and Clank title. It gives you all the guns, humour and bonkers story of the previous entries while showcasing the PS5 Hardware brilliantly and seamlessly.

    I didn't even realize how smoothly I was going from one world/dimension to the next until I was about 2/3 of the way through. The weapons have just the right amount of weight and the use of the DualSense is beyond    A perfect Ratchet and Clank title.

    This is the title that shows what the PS5 can do while capturing that magic that Ratchet and Clank does oh so well.

    Hopefully, it does so well that Insomniac go back and redo the original games in this marvellous engine so we can play through them all over again in blisteringly good graphics with super smooth loading.    … Expand

This game truly delivers the promised future of what next gen games are willing to do at their peaks. Thank you insomniac for such a wonderful experience. in this review i am going to talk about the good and the bad and overall experience and why i think it deserves an 8 and not a 10 cuz its the weakest of the franchise and feels more like another PS5 tech demo at some aspects rather than a full fledged game.

    THE GOOD:
    and this section is going to be the longest so stay tuned...
    This game with its visuals is something really earth shaking and the people behind insomniacs animation teams and graphics engine are truly magicians! If there is one thing i need to understand is how insomniac games managed to deliver Spiderman miles morals as cross gen and Spiderman remasterd and ratchet and clank rift apart all within less than a year!? achieving technical aspects in visuals and graphics like never before and taking full advantage of the ps5 hardware, with faster loading times and the whole rifts and dimensions stuff is something unbelievable! and i dont think that even third party games will make anything similar to this game or something that will take advantage of the ps5 hardware like first party games do. And a quick mention to the graphics modes like performance rt and performance mode are great but i preferred fidelity mode for that sharp image and effects and i am ok with that 30 fps that on a screen like mine its hard to notice. i am truly a fan boy of insomniac games!
    Gameplay wise well, i have been playing ratchet and clank since day 1 on the ps2 as a kid who just moved into underwear from diapers. I have played almost every ratchet and clank out there and rift apart is the most ambitious one of the bunch out there delivering things the title hasnt seen before like the shadow dash as well as new weapons, But in big its just like its always been but improved with a much smoother gameplay rather than arcady or clunky and it is just right here.
    Sound design and soundtrack and music is unbelievable! If you have 3D audio headset or the ps5 pulse 3d you are in for a blast of a sound!!! This game really does deliver audio that i dont think even returnal has managed to deliver. Its a joy to listen to this game even if youre just standing somewhere not doing anything it really feels like youre in that universe.
    Presentation wise and world and attention to detail and the rifts are such a game changer! Thank to the ps5's hardware i dont think pc's will get to the level of releasing games in this level anytime soon. The attention to detail and animation and level design is something that makes you really fall in love with this game. World and map are made on point! and so much work has been put into them!
    And characters wise its so hard to talk about cuz i just love every one of those characters and my gosh this game is really something! by the end i clapped my hands with a smile and was so happy for the experience of this game and i cant wait for a sequel! All the characters are well acted and designed and made in such a fashion that even the new characters introduced into the series are characters i fell in love with!

    THE BAD:
    As a vet of the series i gotta admit. There is nothing to do after you finish the game and collect all the collectibles which are easy to find. The worlds are small yet detailed but they get really boring after you finish the missions within them. And the glitch missions are annoying! Like honestly i was so glad i finished with her, It was pointless and short and really didnt feel necessary. Clank puzzles are the worst they have ever been in the series! They are extremely easy and all of them are literally the same!!! I would really want to see in the future, more of secret agent clank missions and other activities like racing or collecting the captain quark cartages and playing the mini games or exploring more of the world and doing more activities rather than just collecting and doing main quests in the world. The universe of this game feels empty compared to other previous titles. And the game had issues like showing objective icons and having a few bugs like where npc's would run away from me but they werent game breaking and easily fixed with a reload.

    OVERALL
    I love this game and if you read the good and bad you know why this game is an 8 for me and with a lot of love! I truly want to see more of the series and sadly we didnt get that big ratchet and clank game just yet. Its a great way to show off the ps5 capabilities but i feel like all the focus of this game was on that rather than the actual game as a whole. After 2 playthroughs (the game is short) i think im done with this game, i have no interest going back into it anymore as much as i did when i played the 3rd game on the ps2. Was a hell of an experience but made me want more.    … Expand

I played in fidelity mode simply because I wanted to the 4k resolution. The other modes look fine but the quality is noticeable if you play on a 4k tv or monitor. But the game is more smooth at performance mode so choose your poison.

    Now when it comes to the upgrade system I was shocked at how many upgrades and guns there were in the game. As soon as I thought this is the final gun the game would DJ Khaled me and give me anotha one. Each gun for diverse and unique. I maxed every gun out and did not stick to a single one. This made the game feel new and fresh every hour or so.

    I played on the hardest difficulty and if you are a glutton for punishment this game is very hard on the hardest. Enemies attack none stop you take a lot of damage. 3-4 hits can kill you or if its a strong enemy 2-3 hits. It really pushes you to learn all the game mechanics and use the most advance mechanics along with utilizing every gun. Because on the hardest difficulty you will run out of ammo fast because the enemies soak up damage. All in all it was fun and challenging but nowhere near a dark souls or returnal.

    The gameplay itself is smooth and very responsive. There is never a dull moment from combat, to traversal, to mini games, to exploring. Everything in this game is top notch and amazing. The big action set pieces left my job dropped sometimes and had me jumping for joy.

    Honestly if you have never played a Ratchet and Clank pick it up it is amazing. And if I loved this game I know the die hard fans will be salivating at this game. I give ratchet 10 gold bolts out of 10.    … Expand

This is easily the best looking game I have ever played, which says a lot because Resident Evil 8 just came out a few weeks ago. There is a certain point at the start of the game where a very high quality cutscene plays, and it seamlessly transitions into the gameplay. Very impactful scene in terms of the technology. It feels like you’re controlling a beautiful Pixar game. The graphics really blew me away. As far as some criticisms: the game feels pretty linear, the game is relatively short, it has a lot of minor glitches, and it’s incredibly easy (I recommend starting off on a higher difficulty). I think it’s biggest downfall is that once you beat it and platinum it, there’s very little reason to ever return to it. But the experience is absolutely a memorable one, the game ended and I had a big smile on my face.… 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.
