    A game which has a good story, but once the game is complete it feels like there's no more reason to play, and it becomes empty. The sidequests are boring, and usually they feel boring and meaningless.

    I'm a long time fan of the series, and while I appreciate the graphics and weapons feeling, I must say this is my least favourite of the franchise.

    I'm a long time fan of the series, and while I appreciate the graphics and weapons feeling, I must say this is my least favourite of the franchise.

    My biggest gripe with the game is the story and character development. First, Ratchet and Clank are a mere shadow of themselves. Their personality is nothing like the old ones; they are just different characters all along.
    Next, Rivet, while she is not terrible as a character, she is basically Ratchet but better in every way. What I mean is while they destroyed Ratchet, they made Rivet take the crown as the main character of the game, which she is without a doubt. I mean, we play her over 60% of the game, and you can't even do the arena with Ratchet.

    To me this game is like Star Wars 7: a big middle finger to all time fans. It's all shiny and good looking, but that's not what makes a movie or a game great. If you're looking for game for your 10 years old, grab an old PS3 and get the Ratchet and Clank collection. It's cheaper and better.

    This game is a ripoff, the final product has a considerable downgrade of what they showed in the trailer, plus Sony charged 79 usd for a 6 hour long campaign! This is a bunch of bs.

    La verdad que no me gustó mucho el juego, demasiado corto, encima el precio muy abusivo a 70 usd, siento que tiré demasiado dinero a la basura, por 5 horas nomás. Encima este juego puede correr mi PS4 que aún tengo, una mentira lo del SSD de Play 5, hasta en una pc con ssd más o menos decente se puede jugar. Y bueno a jugar Fortnite y Warzone, ya que no se que jugar ahora en mi PS5.

    When Clank reveals that he has repaired the Dimensionator so that Ratchet can search for the Lombax race and his missing family, the pair are suddenly attacked by Doctor Nefarious. In the ensuing chaos Ratchet fires the Dimensionator, causing a rift to open up between different dimensions pulling the trio end into an alternate universe.

    Pros:
    - Beautifully crafted graphics (both character and especially the environments). Shows off some of the PS5s newest additions quite well for an early next-gen game.
    - Lots of different weapons (like previous Ratchets) to choose from. Keeps the gameplay fresh.
    - Runs at a very steady 30fps on fidelity. Was a bit worried about it.
    - Loved the new characters. Rivet brings life to this series after what I thought was just an "okay" ps4 game.

    Cons:
    - Horribly short especially for $70. i put about 15 hours into the game. Just feels a bit disappointing when you throw $70 at something.
    - Saw quite a few glitches/bugs. One level didn't load any of the platforms I was supposed to be standing on and I fell instantly to my death.

    Rift Apart's a fun game with a few funny stuff to enjoy the gameplay. Ive played with 120 fps (120hz) in performance mode and the visuals are stunning! The best thing of Rift Apart is his visuals.
    The game has great story but has a few bugs too....and Rift Apart's too much short game.

    Its a game to be enjoyed without stress

    Ratchet and Clank's return for the PlayStation 5 falls flat across the board for it's filler story, repetitive gameplay, and bland characters. Rift Apart sees the iconic duo at their blandest yet, with all character traits that made them what they are stripped away.

Rift Apart sees the iconic duo at their blandest yet, with all character traits that made them what they are stripped away. These characters are hardly recognizable from their earlier works, finding themselves more reminiscent of their 2016 movie counterparts. The Gameplay this time around has some new bells and whistles, but isn't enough to save itself from it's own laziness and mediocrity. While this game marks a first time in the main-series that Ratchet has to share the spotlight with another gun-toting hero, Insomniac takes the easy/lazy road by having both Ratchet and new character, Rivet, play identically. Both share the same weapons, gadgets, upgrades, and even ammo count, with very little rhyme or reason. However, despite the fact that they play identically at all times, the game does not allow Ratchet and Rivet to explore areas the other character traversed during the story, even though their is no reason for that either. Many planets and almost all the enemies are ripped straight from previous entries, and while this game boasts the most new weapons a game in the series has had in over a decade, many of weapons are reskins of each other. 3 blaster type weapons and 3 shotgun type weapons, in addition to several weapons that just act on their own with no input required from the player, and you have an arsenal that appears plentiful on the surface, but is shallow in actuality. It surprises me that this game has received the praise it has, which may be due to the low amount of new titles available on next generation consoles. This game may need to be reevaluated after more interesting titles have made their way to the PlayStation 5. For now, while their may not be many options for new PlayStation 5 owners, for $70 Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is not worth it's next generation price tag, and should be avoided for those over the age of 12.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I personally encountered a few clipping bugs when around some objects on the first level got caught by a plant and vine/bench when the scenery transformed during a rift change. Some of the platforming wasn't as smooth as I liked. The dragon should have been landable anywhere not just on its nest. The costumes were nice but it's a shame you couldn't choose the perks from them and wear a different costume. I liked the story and characters. The game is short however and finishable within a day The cheat system for collecting all the goodies(bolts/spy bots) makes the final boss trivial. I like the fact that anyone can complete this game and feel nice about it. Due to the minor glitches, a little shorter gameplay than i would have liked, and still no Lombax convention, I have to give it an 8. Expand

    Ratchet and Clank: A Rift apart is a fantastic looking game wit some fun, if not revolutionary gameplay mechanics. Every thing is visually stunning and the world is just a joy to go through. Ratchet himself is an annoying character, and I oftentimes wish that Rivet was the main character in the game. The game could could have been longer considered the asking roice. But solid game nevertheless.

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.

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 game is interesting enough. Very beautiful. Shooting with tactile triggers is poorly implemented, it is very inconvenient to hold the button halfway, well, these are most likely features of a very weak dualsense resistance. The game is VERY short, paying the full cost to complete the game in 3 squats, which does not reach the full cost. I advise you to buy at discounts.

The artificial intelligence of the enemies is anecdotal (Storm trooper pointers do not hit anything even if they have it in front of them)

    Lo Meh !:
    This game is not a joke, it lasts 4-6 hours, it lasts longer and if you want to get the platinum trophy it will keep you entertained for a while 10-12 hours, after that there is no more. In the promotional trailers it shows moves that cannot be done in the base game. Unlike the previous Ratchet and Clank where they opted for a trans-media experience with an animated film, here they did nothing of that and it is applauded since the character is not at all charismatic.

    There isn't much depth in this game and the xploration is not very rewarding. They needed to add a bit more tatical character building stuff that you needed to use on harder difficulty for the adults and hardcore gamers. As it is now it's perfect for a casual gamer or kids, but of you don't fit in to those categories then you will be bored pretty quickly like I was.

    This game is a 10 on beauty and charm, but the gameplay at higher difficulties leaves a lot to be desired. The first issue is sloppy input:
    - The dash cannot be animation cancelled into a melee attack, meaning using dash as an offensive move is all but useless
    - You cannot switch weapons whenever your feet is not touching the ground. This restriction not only makes no sense, but makes it

    - You cannot switch weapons whenever your feet is not touching the ground. This restriction not only makes no sense, but makes it impossible to fast-weapon-switch to maximize DPS while also jump/juking.
    - Double jump fails if you hold the first jump input too long and trigger the hover
    - Clambering is very sloppy, you'll clamber at the wrong height, not clamber at all. Also you can't rebound from a clamber

    While the main campaign is quite easy, it is the challenge arenas where the combat in this game really shows its cracks. Unlike Doom or Returnal, where skillful movement can make you untouchable for long-stretches of combat, in this game, enemies have a random spray to their fire. So you WILL get nicked by seemingly unavoidable, off-camera damage (the extremely low FOV doesn't help either). In the challenge arenas, you don't get much health recovery, so every hit REALLY matters. So without a way to skillfully avoid damage or recover health, too much is left to chance.

    New to the Ratchet & Clank series. Best elements: Visuals, animation & audio which are top notch. Gameplay and story? Great for kids, but quite basic/unsubstantial for gamers looking for something deep like from a God of War or Horizon. The world is undeniably gorgeous but the sheer linearity and swiftness of the story makes it feel often like the opposite of immersive. Go too hard onNew to the Ratchet & Clank series.

The directing is superb, and the writing, although occasionally too cliche or cringy, is very good. The game has its downfalls, however. Rift Apart is quite glitchy and drags on towards the end. Rift Apart could have told its story in 6 hours, but stretches it out to 9-10 with surprise turns in the second half that feel unnecessary and seem like padding. If the game's story weren't so stretched, I would feel inclined to give this game a higher score. Overall, the game is a blast and is worth your time if you enjoy chaotic shooters and/or PS2-era Sony Mascot games. Expand

    A true "Next Gen" experience especially with the Controller. The only Reason why i diden't give it a 10/10: Sadley i had some Gamebreaking Bugs two Times. The Heart in the Endboss was invisible what made me restart a Chapter and Ratchet was in a endless loop of falling and dying what made me restart a Chapter again.

    OMG this game is incredible. I much like the PS4 original game but Rift Apart is just insane. The visuals are top notch, 60 fps and raytracing and 4K dynamic resolution shows the full potential of next-gen gaming. Rift Apart is one of the many reasons why you need a PS5. Insomniac has made a fantastic job. Chapeau!

    The PS5 Ratchet and Clank exclusive is crazy fun. It has excellent level design that engages the player in interesting ways with incredible environmental detail. The roller coaster level in particular is an exhilarating experience. The art direction has great thematic design similar to a Pixar movie sporting a Wall-E/Incredibles aesthetic.

    The gameplay has a good flow, and reminded me of Psychonauts when paired with the game's goofy charm. Storyline is a little too saccharine for my taste, and the humor and dialogue are eye-rolling, but that all falls down to personal preference. There's nothing really wrong with it, and it is appropriate to the setting, and target audience, which isn't me. Main complaint is how easy the game is. I like games that are difficult, and there's little of that to be found here.

    Ratchet & Clank is a great shooting game, extremely frenetic, with very beautiful visuals and an interesting proposal to say the least

    The story gets a bit of a backdrop, as the focus is entirely on gameplay. Furthermore, the game "innovates" with the optimal use of the PS5's SSD power, and the transition of worlds/dimensions is just unbelievable. Not to mention the game's
    Ratchet & Clank is a great shooting game, extremely frenetic, with very beautiful visuals and an interesting proposal to say the least

    The story gets a bit of a backdrop, as the focus is entirely on gameplay.

    Furthermore, the game "innovates" with the optimal use of the PS5's SSD power, and the transition of worlds/dimensions is just unbelievable.

    Not to mention the game's graphics, which even with a slight downgrade compared to the trailers, still look extremely beautiful and worthy of high-budget 3D animations.

    However, some of the problems I've seen in the game are a lot of bugs.
    Sometimes the game just crashes and I need to restart it, or the character is stopped and I can't move it anymore.
    Of course there will always be bugs in every game, but the amount I had in Ratchet is rather worrying, and I would say it can spoil the gameplay to some extent.

    Another point of the game is a repetition on enemies, who mostly do the same thing, and it turns out that the whole game is quite repetitive (on the other hand, there are weapons we can use, which are very varied and have different and fun features)

    And for me, one thing that made me extremely upset is the duration of the game, which is quite short.
    I finished the game in less than 20 hours, and it doesn't have much replay factor (at least for me), which made me very upset as it technically didn't make up for much of the high price of the game.

    Overall, I give a grade 8/10
    Ratchet innovates with the PS5's SSD and its world transition, as well as having beautiful graphics and fun gameplay at various points
    However, it has a lot of bugs and at some point the game becomes quite repetitive, taking away the relatively short duration, which doesn't compensate for the high price of the game.

    Don't get me wrong, the game is AWESOME, but it still has a lot to improve, and I hope that in future updates new content and several enemies will be added, which will be really cool because this game so far is one of the most promising PS5 exclusives from next-gen (so far)

    It is a beautiful game, but I encountered a ton of glitches in my play through. I had multiple boss fights freeze, or I would clip through the map after traveling through rifts. The worst clip happened on the final boss fight and kind of killed the moment for me. Overall, I enjoyed the game, but I have like 15 minutes of 30 second clips of glitches saved on my console because of this game.

    My largest issues come from the lack of meaningful enemy variety from the halfway point onwards, and some soundtrack choices being particularly grating.

    Pourtant fan de la série, cet épisode m'a clairement déçu. Soyons honnête, le jeu est une véritable démo technologique: le raytracing fait des merveilles, les effets de particule sont innombrables tout comme la somme des détails visuels. Du très gros boulot.
    Une fois qu'on a dit ça, on a fait le tour du jeu. Le titre est court, les 2 personnages jouables n'ont de différences que le visuel (quelle déception), les ennemis sont inintéressant et reviennent sans relâches, bref, on voit vite les limites de l'exercice.
    A cela il faut ajouter cette "escroquerie" des fameux portails mis en valeur pour le SSD. Rien de révolutionnaire, Portal le faisait bien avant lui et d'autres jeux depuis. Moi qui pensait qu'on pourrait créer nos propres portails et aller d'un monde à l'autre, c'est loupé.

    Par contre, j’ai eu le droit à 2 gros bugs. Le 1er après un passage dans un portail, le monde avait totalement disparu et je marchais dans le vide intersidéral. Obligé de « trouver » un trou pour me suicider et faire réapparaitre le niveau…
    Le 2ème plus chiant où j’ai cru que j’allais devoir tout recommencer, c’est dans une arène où je suis tombé dans un trou. Dès lors le jeu m’a fait réapparaître dans l’arène mais je ne pouvais plus bouger. Le pire étant que même en mourant, ça me faisait revenir au même endroit sans pouvoir bouger. (idem en éteignant le jeu et en chargeant la dernière sauvegarde). Heureusement, j’ai pu loader une sauvegarde Check point un peu plus vieille, mais pas trop pour relancer le jeu… J’ai cru que j’allais devoir effacer la sauvegarde et tout recommencer au début…

    vous voilà prévenu. Une belle vitrine pour la PS5 mais un jeu trop générique et sans âme. Dommage...

    This game is too short. The developers are charging $70 for what is basically a PS5 tech demo that lasts under 6 hours. That is extremely expensive. The last Ratchet & Clank game had a $40 price tag. The greedy developers had the audacity to charge $30 more for this game and they didn't even bother to make the campaign much longer.

    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]
