    great in all way its just perfect i dont get the negative rating... but one of them is
    "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." haha so lost

    En la línea de la saga, hay pocos videojuegos tan divertidos como estos.
    Jugablemente lo puede disfrutar cualquiera, lo cual es un punto muy a favor.
    Inclusión de nuevos personajes.
    Rendimiento espectacular, uso escandaloso del ssd.
    Gráficamente brillante.

    -
    Duración ajustada pero con poca rejugabilidad más allá de la 2a partida.
    No innova en demasía.

    Отличная игра, геймплей, юмор. Русская озвучка на уровне. Не хватает только мистера Зуркона - его замена сильно хуже

Difficulty scaling is on point and the Zurkon Arena quests are just the right balance of fun and challenging especially on higher difficulties. Only downside I can see is the lack of variety on the boss designs as halfway through the game you'll just get a slightly tougher and maybe reskinned version of a previous boss.… Expand

    Rift Apart is a great video game of the Ratchet & Clank saga, among the 3 best games of this, frenetic, fun. It takes the best and captures it here, although, it feels like it lacks more madness in terms of history, but insomniac games played it safe and gave us a very good video game to start PS5

Aunque yo creo que no se juegan estos juegos por la historia, ya sabes a donde vienes, está dirigido mayoritariamente a un público más infantil. Se juega por la jugabilidad y esta es una gozada, evidentemente explotando todo lo explotable de la ps5, mucho movimiento, muchas partículas y un gameplay muy dinámico y divertido, que logra introducir bien la mecánica de no usar siempre el mismo arma, cosa que se agradece. Sí es verdad que una vez tienes tus combos de armas en combate, y que te funcionan, es muy difícil salir de ahí, y quizás los combates ya se vuelven algo monótonos porque los enemigos suelen ser siempre similares, sin contar la arena esta de retos, que aporta un poco de frescura al tener que obligarte a hacer ciertas mecánicas.
    Lo plataformero podría haber sido más difícil o tener un reto mayor en las brechas de conseguir partes de armadura, por ejemplo, ninguna supuso mucha dificultad.
    En cuanto a la dificultad un poco más de lo mismo, quizás es demasiado fácil la estándar quizás le tuve que poner un puntito más de dificultad para que supusiera un reto mayor y no solo un paseo por cada mapa.

    · Cosas buenas: visualmente es una gozada, la relación aventura acción es redonda, el gran diseño y variedad de armas. El uso del Dualsense y se nota el salto generacional. Cómo no, Rivet.
    · Cosas malas: los niveles con Clank y Glitch no son tan divers, la historia es simplona de más, el plataformeo podría haber sido más difícil, y algunos bosses se repiten de más.
    · Conclusión: cortita y al pie, juego sencillo, con muy buena jugabilidad, con mecánicas chulas y que sin ser una maravilla narrativamente cumple las horas que te da.    … Expand

    This gem of a game cleary shows off the power of the ps5, it's SSD, the duelsense features and is a great time for gamers of all ages. I'd highly recommend it, even if you have not played any ratchet and clank games before.

    This game is absolutely sensational. The combat and story of this game are great and normally those are the things I care about most in a game but the graphics and teleportation in this game are so good that they engaged me into the game more than the story or combat.

Definitely has its pros and cons like any game, but for me again Insomniac did a great job of being the og game but also something fresh and new.

    now it may not be the number 1 Ratchet and Clank game for some. but I think we can all agree that it's one of the best Ratchet and Clank games (definitely in the top 3 in the series, also i believe everyone had an awesome time and laught and smiled with this game)
    I also feel that they did a very good job with Rivet, you feel that she has always been part of the story and she is as lovable character as Ratchet and Clank (they're also a nice trio team!) without even feeling that Ratchet is a minor character because of Rivet...both of them had the same treatment and love as well as our "toster" Clank xD. I hope everyone had a good time with the game even with its changes :D also i think 9.2 / 10 is worth even Game of the year!

    It's awesome to see that the community loved the game even with some problems here and there :)))    … Expand

    Amazing! Super fun and the length of the game is just perfect. When you finish the game you will want to finish it again with all the new things. Battles are fun and all the weapons are amazing, really is one of the best games I ever played.

    Not gonna lie, after playing the 2016 reboot of the series, I was a bit unsure if I wanted to play Rift Apart because I didn't enjoy playing that game at all.
    To my surprise, however, I can safely say Rift Apart is genuinely a fun game to play; in fact, I had a blast, like, I enjoyed it much more than I expected.

    To my surprise, however, I can safely say Rift Apart is genuinely a fun game to play; in fact, I had a blast, like, I enjoyed it much more than I expected.
    The gameplay has a lot of similarities to the older games and it can feel somewhat mindless when you're facing a wave of trash mobs, but it's not only refined in every single way possible; the haptic feedback made everything so much better, making the game all the more enjoyable to play.
    The weapon variety is impressive once again, not surprising.
    The story, while not exactly good or anything like that, is still enjoyable to play through, and the characters are pretty good.
    The best part of the game though, is without a single doubt in my mind, the visuals; they're just incredible! The game truly looks and feels exactly how a next-generation game should, running at stable 60 FPS, no loading times, no technical issues, ray tracing and haptic feedback technology, gorgeous graphics... you just can't ask for more.
    Also, most of the set-pieces are fantastic as well.
    The game is definitely not perfect though, for example, the enemy and boss variety is seriously lacking, unfortunately.
    The puzzles are all repetitive and they slow down the pacing most of the time.
    Lastly, not exactly a serious flaw, more of a personal gripe, but I thought the humor felt a bit... immature and childlike for the most part; it was hit or miss.

    Pros:
    + Very fun gameplay
    + Haptic feedback
    + Amazing weapon variety
    + Breathtaking visuals
    + Awesome set-pieces

    Cons:
    - Poor enemy and boss variety
    - Tedious puzzles
    - Inconsistent humor

    Narrative: ?/10
    Gameplay: 8/10
    Content: 5/10
    Characters: 7/10

    Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart feels like a proper next-generation, PS5 exclusive through and through, and it's an absolute blast to play.

    This game is fantastic, but it doesn’t earn its $70 price tag in my opinion. This was one of the games that made me really want a PS5, and while I had a lot of fun playing through this game and basking in its gorgeous environments and fun weapons, it doesn’t evolve itself enough from Ratchet and Clank 2016. That game is also fantastic, and can be bought for MUCH cheaper these days. RiftThis game is fantastic, but it doesn’t earn its $70 price tag in my opinion.

    Never played a ratchet and clank til the 2016 one like a month before this came out. Thought it was alright. Thought it was good enough to eye this one and was starved for new PS5 games. I was stunned. Story was fun and exciting, visuals were amazing. Gameplay was great. It’s a true set piece for what the PS5 could do. Thoroughly enjoyed my time with it.

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.

    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]
