    Simply incredible! Graphics are unbelievable! Characters are flawless and so is the story ! I loved every minute of it . Insomniac are probably the best developers in the industry now !

    It was a great showcase in PlayStation 5. The portals were showed that how SSD technology improved over time. I appreciate Sony to invest this monster SSD.

    You will be surprised many times in this game. The second part is literally twice as exciting and entertaining as the first part. Unlike the first part, side missions were designed to be enjoyable and attractive.

    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

    Incredible and stunning, such a shame it wasn't longer. This is a really good game that makes good use of all the PS5 has to offer. More like this please!

    Go for it ! The Game is a complete blast to play from start to end. Eye catching visuals and totally enjoyable game-play. I wish they have named it Ratchet & Rivet instead, because its Rivet that gets more screen presence among all the characters. I definitely had loads of fun playing it ! Worthy addition to PS5 exclusives.

    This is the closest to cinema quality I have seen. There is no line between cuts and gameplay. The haptic on the controller and the triggers is great. This is the first time playing a game I am not thinking about the next graphics card or console and what could be next. This is not only a thoroughly enjoyable game but it is saying whatever is next can’t be a traditional console. IThis is the closest to cinema quality I have seen.

    If I had to give a negative it is a bit short for the price however considering all the other advancements and work that has gone in a sacrifice of length is worth it. If you spend time doing all side quests and collectibles you can probably finish the game in 12-14hrs depending how quick you are. The game itself just looks fantastic, better than a ratchet and Clank game has any right too.If I had to give a negative it is a bit short for the price however considering all the other advancements and work that has gone in a sacrifice of length is worth it.

The game itself just looks fantastic, better than a ratchet and Clank game has any right too. Gameplay is fantastic, new mechanics of portals and such are fantastic. There's multiple types of puzzle missions that are all entertaining. 0 load times make for a game that runs incredibly smoothly. I don't think there's something in this game I can change to improve it tbh. While it is short compared to some other R&C games, it is on par with the first ratchet and Clank or into the nexus in terms of length the extra content makes it worth it and the narrative also fits very well into the current length.… Expand

    Incredible game, for me until now best ps exclusive on ps5. Great graphics clearly made for next gen and not cross gen, great story interesting even for folks that never played ratchet, great gaming mechanics, rewarding weapons build up and collectibles… Really well worth playing and great start for ps5 exclusives.

    Очень приятная игра по сюжету и постановке. Красивая картинка и эффекты. Очень приятный и быстрый геймплей. Очень понравились новые персонажи! Жалко, что гонок на досках нет больше. Персонаж Глючка лучит вирусы через шутер, в игре которая и так шутер, это не здорово. Хотелось-бы головоломку.

    A very pleasant game in terms of storyline and setting. Beautiful picture and effects. Very nice and fast gameplay. I really liked the new characters! It's a shame that there are no more board races. Glitchka's character beams viruses through a shooter, in a game that is already a shooter, it's not great. I would like a puzzle. On the passage of the main plot, everything is super, but it would be nice to add more puzzles and mini-games.    … Expand

    What a fantastic game. I've never played a ratchet and clank game before rift apart, but oh boy was I surprised how much I ended up enjoying this game. This game has the perfect level of difficulty on the hardest level. I actually ended up getting all of the collectables in this game and that's something I rarely do. The level design is also absolutely fantastic.

    it is fun and it is beautiful. What else You need from Ratchet & Clank ? :) Every aspect of the game on Top level. Yes - it is not reboot like God of War 2018 but who said it will be reboot. It is another good old Ratchet and Clank (and Rivet)

    A showcase exclusive, displaying the potential of a true PS5 exclusive that sets the bar so astronomically high that it's almost unfair. Rift Apart is the first system seller of this gen.

Rift Apart is the first system seller of this gen.

    PROS:
    - Visual presentation so good, graphics so refined, you'll feel like you're playing a Pixar movie
    - Character focused story expands upon characters and universe without being inaccesable to new players
    - Multiple visual modes (Performance, 4k w/ RT, etc)
    - Refined gameplay mechanics with a mixture of old and new mechanics within stunning set pieces
    - Upgrade trees for each weapon
    - Extemely varied locations that encourage and reward exploration
    - Varied, inventive arsenal of appropriate themed weaponry
    - PS5 SSD allows for an entire gameworld to instantaniously change from one state to another (honestly shocking the first time it happens) or transport a charcater between completely different locations with no loading.
    - Story focuses on Ratchet and Rivet equally, developing/elevating both chracters without having to degrade either
    - Ridiculous attention to details (lighting, animation, voice overs, texture work, even hairs blowing in the breeze)
    - You can spend an embarrasing amount of time in the photo mode with all the options
    - DualSense implimentation is FLAWLESS and is by far the best example of how game changing Sony's new controller is with its haptic technology.

    CONS:
    - I miss the Disco grenade and the "Pixelate" gun from the remake.

    This is a system seller, easily 10/10 on every front. This is the game (for now) that you show off to your gaming friends who don't have a PS5 yet (sorry guys).

    The gameplay is as close to perfect as you can get and the visual presentation is so good that people who don't know better will think you're watching a movie. Absolute must have.    … Expand

Having only played the previous title on ps4, my expectations for story and gameplay weren't astronomical but since sonys 2020 preview, I knew it would use the ps5 hardware better as a platform exclusive (an approach sorely missing from other devs at the time of writing this in 2021!) .

    I give this game a ten, and it deserves. It’s finally a real entry for the new generation of consoles. My last R&C game was Crack in Time ages ago. So I was not overhyped or expecting this high level of entertainment. The colors ,the light effects, the movement, the enviroments, just breathtaking. The developers put their souls onto that, and they deserve all the praise. I haven’t finishedI give this game a ten, and it deserves. It’s finally a real entry for the new generation of consoles.

The developers put their souls onto that, and they deserve all the praise. I haven’t finished yet, because I want to go everywhere and do all it needs to make this game lasts as much as I want. The lowest point is the price. In my country it got really expensive, even for our standards and the irony is how such childlike game can be so distant for a kid to enjoy. I believe there are few parents willing to pay for an expensive console and an expensive game for their kids nowadays. Speaking about gameplay, the "low" point is the camera, I’m having some camera issues ending in some cheap deaths, but nothing that can ruin the experience. So, this game is a masterpiece, great pace, charismatic characters, stunning level design, great voice acting even in my native language. I’m not going to say it'sp like playing a Pixar movie. It’s more than that !… 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]
