    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.

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

    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.
    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

    Gameplay: 8/10

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

This 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.

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

    It’s the first Playstation 5 game to fully take advantage of the highly publicized SSD in different ways. First of all, as it happened before with Returnal and Spider-Man Miles Morales, loading times are a thing of a past; you can take full control of Ratchet (or Rivet) from the Playstation 5 home screen in less than 12 seconds, and while in game there is a rapid transition between planets that takes only 6 to 10 seconds.
    Second (and most important), is the ability to travel between different “dimensions” and worlds within a level with no loading times at all, which offers the user a very immersive and exciting experience, specially at pursues and fast paced levels.

    The game also takes advantage from the PS5 Dualsense haptic feedback: the player can feel almost all vibrations like steps and, of course, the shooting of the various weapons at disposition.
    Shooting works excellent as did with Returnal; the player is able to choose between 2 modes for each weapon depending on how soft or hard pushes the R2 trigger. For example, there’s a gun that activates a shield while pressing softly R2, and then turns into a powerfull blaster pressing R2 fully.

    Let’s talk about graphics now. I’ve been playing the ps5 since launch and I must say that Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart is the best looking game so far. Not only cutscenes looks beautiful but also gameplay is extremely good looking. Player can choose between 3 different graphic modes: Fidelity mode at 4K and 30fps; this is the worst mode you can choose, since the game feels clanky and bad at 30fps. There’s also Performance mode and Performance mode RT which runs at 60fps to the cost of less resolution (actually the difference in resolution is almost imperceptible, so I’d advice to play either at Performance or RT performance mode).    … Expand

As someone who isn’t well traveled in the R&C series, I felt right at home the entire game! It’s hard to do that with a series as old as R&C, making it inviting to newcomers and old fans. I only have 2 complaints that hold it back from a 10 (both of which are easily fixable with a later patch) Occasionally Ratchet or Rivet would momentarily get stuck in the geometry of the environments when using the rocket boots, not gamebreaking at all but it would halt my pace randomly & leave me confused for a few seconds as to why I stopped in a wide open field. The other issue is during the Clank sections, it didn’t happen at every Clank level but in half of them I ran into a weird graphical glitch, it’s a little hard to describe but the entire background would get these black “scratch” looking things that would flash VERY quickly & hurt my eyes. It would be all over the environment too. The only way to get through it was to either physically walk Clank into them so they’d disappear (they’d reappear if you got far enough away) or try to complete the section with them giving me a headache. Did anyone else run into this?? Aside from those minor flaws, the rest of the game is so incredibly polished that I was actually stunned most of the time I was playing. Last time I experienced something so meticulously crafted with love like this was both of The Last Of Us games. The attention to detail is just.. immaculate. Every environment is gorgeous, all of the characters are charming and heartwarming, the story is extremely engaging till the end & has so much heart & genuine stakes. Dr. Nefarious remains as entertaining as ever & EMPEROR Nefarious is just as intriguing & is one of the best villains I’ve seen in a while, he’s actually intimidating! His accent & demeanor are badass too. The Dualsense feedback is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced playing a game, Rift Apart is THE new standard everyone else has to catch up to. One of the best games I’ve ever played hands down. If you’re fortunate enough to get a PS5, play this game. You will never regret it. I really hope Ratchet & Clank doesn’t take as much time off as they did with the PS4 era, because I’m BEGGING to see more.… Expand

If you have or are waiting to get a ps5, get this game immediately I can highly recommend it. One of my top favourite Ratchet & Clank games.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Or the more appropriate name here: Rivet & Clank/Kit.

    This game is the Blade Trinity of the Ratchet & Clank series and feels even to a degree like MGS2 did with its character swap. The game is presented as a Ratchet & Clank game yet is anything but. The opening cutscene reveals the new playable character Rivet and out of the 9 planets that are available in the game, Ratchet has 4. The final boss is beaten by Rivet and all of the major story and character development is all about Rivet. Ratchet & Clank take a backseat to what looks like a setup for a main character change in the series (nothing wrong with that if that is the intention).

    Ratchet & Rivet have zero gameplay differences, share weapon levels and gadgets. Rivet has the entire arena all to herself and Ratchet is not even playable.

    Besides what appears like obvious pandering to a new audience, the game is a visual masterpiece. I didn't personally touch the 4k 30fps mode as previous Ratchet & Clanks feel extremely off at 30fps however at 60fps the game flowed and felt like the perfectly refined Rivet & Clank/Kit game that it is.

    The seamless transition from planet to planet is amazing, the load times are non existent, the guns are mostly enjoyable and fun (why are there so many throwable bomb type weapons?) and the only true disappointment is the RYNO. The planet environments look beautiful and are fun if not reasonably linear experiences with VERY easy to find collectibles which is a strange change and almost all of them can be completed 100% on the first visit, without needing any gadgets.

    As for replayability? Well Insomniac dropped the ball with the trophies this time around. There's no requirement for all gold bolts, no requirement for all weapons upgraded and no requirement for challenge mode either. It's probably the simplest platinum in the entire series with little to no effort and an easy mode that literally makes you invincible.
    In saying that, there is challenge mode and omega weapons, but it's up to the player if they want to pursue these things without any trophy rewards. I personally went for all gold bolts and armours out of habit in these games but have no interest in challenge mode.

    What would be cool is if Insomniac did straight up release "Rivet & Kit" and had an entire game featuring Rivet as the sole playable character and made an effort to differentiate her from Ratchet giving her skills/weapons/gadgets that are unique to her. It would also allow for a reimagining of past Ratchet & Clank villains and planets

    However we all know that the next game will be a co-op game where both are playable and there is still zero difference between them.

    Insomniac didn't reinvent the wheel here but it certainly was a fun experience.    … Expand

    I have experienced four soft crashes, one hard crash, and have fallen through the map geometry on five separate occasions. The gameplay itself is good, though the gun variety is nothing revolutionary for the series. Given the short length of the game, the price, and the serious bugs that are present, I cannot recommend this game until it's on sale or receives major patches to improve stability.

    I played every R&C and spinoff game there is and have been a huge fan since childhood. This is one is right up there with Going Commando and Up your arsenal. My only wish for a further installment is for the devs to revert to the original dark, witty and suggestive humor of the earlier games and perhaps a little more platforming and some more levels.

    The Gameplay is excellent and the graphics are marvellous. The story is very interesting and enjoyable as well. I think there is room for a sequel with more background about the history of the Lombaxes. The weapons level up slower and differently than in the 2016 game but other than that I didn't find anything that was mindnumming. Great game

Я проходив у режимі "Якість" і спочатку відчував нестачу кадрів, ну, приблизно, 3 хвилини, потім звик і весь інший час я постійно скріншотив красу і записував фрагменти геймплея, який тут досить різноманітний через велику кількість гармат. Кожна з них унікальна і за допомогою адаптивних тригерів дає нові відчуття від геймплей. Трасування променів помічав, але особливо мене не вразила, можливо тому, що я сильно захопився пейзажем загалом і геймплеєм. Атмосфера тут дуже якісного дитячого мультика і це дуже добре.

    Я не чекав крутого сюжету від гри і я його не отримав, хоча кілька цікавих моментів все ж таки було. SSD у цій грі розкривається на повну і щоразу можна кайфувати від того, як все швидко завантажується, що навіть не встигаєш взяти телефон у руки. Механіки досить прикольні і періодично щось нове додається, що не змушує сумувати.

    Гра досить не довга, але я б радив купувати її зі знижкою в 60 відсотків, або ж просто взяти аккаунт в оренду, що набагато вигідніше, тому що якщо все збирати і чистити локації, то платина легко вибивається і після цього гру, швидше за все, ви вже ніколи й не запустіть.

    До конкретних мінусів хочу віднести відсутність різноманітності босів, вони всі під копірку; невелика тривалість, навіть якщо ви захочете зачистити гру на 100 відсотків (Я пройшов за 3 дні, з урахуванням гри 3-5 годин на день); фінал, який досить зім'ятий і прямо натякає на третью частину; один раз застряг у текстурах за Глючку і періодично застрягав у текстурах, але не критично; відсутність української мови в озвученні та субтитрах.    … Expand

I have played several instalments of r&c being all the ps2 games, size matters and the ps4 remasters. Soon I wanna complete the ps3 games aswell but sadly they aren't on Ps5 other then streaming. Hopefully they can make it backwards compatible. Can we get the trilogy on Ps5 aswell ifThis is a great game and of course being made by Sony it shows off the new Dual shock sense (Ds5) features. I have played several instalments of r&c being all the ps2 games, size matters and the ps4 remasters. Soon I wanna complete the ps3 games aswell but sadly they aren't on Ps5 other then streaming. Hopefully they can make it backwards compatible. Can we get the trilogy on Ps5 aswell if your reading this which I doubt you are Sony.

    A brief of everything mentioned below.
    Things I didn't like. If I list these 1st then we can finish this on a positive note.
    Collecting raritanium feels a waste of time. I think it would be better if they were extremely rare but done a huge upgrade rather then loads of small ones. Also when you unlock zurkies you can farm them easily.
    Experienced a couple glitches 1 broke my savegame. (See below)
    Another SMG type weapon at the start would be nice.
    The phantom dash looks silly. Would be better with blue tracers. I disabled it in visual settings.
    More zurkies challenges would've been better. On R&C3 we got loads including the 100 round challenge, why didn't we get this in this game?
    Sniper was under powered.
    Freezing bosses shouldn't be possible, it made them a walk in the park. Just freeze then rocket and repeat any boss and you can kill them without taking a hit.
    Stop tying the ryno to collectibles. Just make a a challenge mode gun like before.
    You shouldn't make content that people can skip (puzzles). This should only be a feature in challenge mode.
    Stop telling me how to do things this should only be a feature on the lowest difficulty(s). I like to work things out yet the game basically tells you how to do everything.
    OP cheats not effecting the ability to unlock trophies. i.e invincibility
    Easiest difficulty giving you invincibility.
    Settings that make grind rails slow down during obstacles.
    No trophy for completion on harder difficulty's making the challenge unrewarding.
    The last few on the list I felt made the game dumbed down and made challenges pointless. Why am I going to complete the game on the hardest difficulty and put myself through the challenge if I don't get anything for it. You spent ages creating a difficulty that a huge minority are going to bother playing because there is no reason or reward.

    Things that were amazing.
    I love the new armour style. Collecting peaces of armour then give you passive effects without having to equip them is perfect. I never liked wearing helmets now I don't need to. Im so glad this replaced the cards from the previous instalment.
    The new puzzle were awesome, like glitch and clank dimensions. I hated them hacking/tresspassing in previous titles.
    The mechanics in the game were really well done and it feels solid and responsive. Not once did anything feel clunky.
    The guns worked really well, a couple a weapons that didn't really have a purpose was the ricochet and the shield. You got phantom drift too dodge, what the hell you need a shield for, the Holoshield was better in r&c3 as you could use your gun still.
    I love the story line in this game and I think it was set out really well.
    Loads of shooting aswell which I love. Its annoying when you play a shooting game and its packed with slow boring crap that takes you out of the fight which isn't the case here and I think they got the balance perfect between shooting, exploring and cutscenes.
    Maps don't feel linear and there is loads of hidden areas to explore.
    A way to choose graphic settings, you can choose HQ ray tracing at 30fps, performance ray tracing at 60fps (My personal choice) and No ray tracing for higher resolutions like 4k.
    The map textures look so great and I can understand why they went with the neon effect so they could really show off the ray tracing capability of the Ps5. I have never seen a ratchet and clank game look as nice as this one.
    I think the photo mode is a cool feature. I probably won't use it but I think its a good way to make a desktop wallpaper for your PC or something.
    The way the guns use the new triggers on the controller feels like like certain guns having a half press to lock on then full press to fire etc.
    The enemies in this game were fun competitors its just a shame the bosses were too easy to freeze I would have said they were all round perfect.
    I loved the way things were kind of like opposites in the second dimension like Mrs zorkon was a resistance fighter but she was a boss before, Zorkon was a weapon but now he's peaceful, and a few others things aswell but don't wanna spoil the game.
    1 great thing that should be in all R&C games is the charge boots have returned but have been improved. Please don't make me go without these again. You cant reverse the map extremely fast with these.

    Would I recommend this game?
    Yes if you own a Ps5 I would definitely say to grab this as a part of your collection. And after you complete it then give challenge mode a try for harder enemies but keep your weapons aswell!    … Expand

    After that disappointing "Remake" of 2016 I was honestly worried about the future of the series, I mean, I was excited for this game but I couldn't help but be sceptical about it.

    Having played the game now I'm actually happy with how it turned out to be, the humor is decent, some jokes do land well even thought here are still many of them that are... childish, the gameplay is actually very enjoyable, the movement is improved from the previous games with some great additional mechanics that make it very smooth and fun to play, and the characters are actually likeable!

    There's way more exploration this time around, every planet has some secrets to find, and even pieces of gear to unlock which you can wear to change the way the character looks, which is a really cool feature! There are also mini games as well which I tried out but they're just okay, nothing special.

    Although the main story is not really memorable, it's just another adventure where you have to save the world, I did like how the rifts played a role in it, and the mechanic of how you can traverse the rifts is impressive, the way all various worlds load instantly and they also look gorgeous really shows the high quality of the game, and the effort that was put into making it.

    The puzzles are alright but damn they really slow down the pacing, and there are actually many of them, not too many but more than enough.

    And even with all the improvements on the movement, the additional quality of life mechanics and the brand new protagonist, at the end of the day it's still a Ratchet & Clank game and it plays very similarly to the previous games, the shooting doesn't feel fresh, and I honestly think this could've been fixed if Rivet had different weapons and play-style, it would make the game less repetitive and more rewarding.

    This game is honestly a blast, it's not anything new but it does feel like a next-generation game in many ways, the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers enhance the gameplay, and the instant teleportation helps with the fast paced action and beautiful cinematic set-pieces.

    It might be quite short but it's still very much worth trying out, it's just a fun little adventure, and most importantly, as of right now it's one of the very few games that actually showcases the technology of the PlayStation 5.

    The best ratchet and clank game in a long time. Technically this game is very impressive with graphics better than the animated movie, ray tracing, instant loading times incorporated into the level design, and even perfect 60 fps making this the smoothest playing ratchet game since the ps2.

Technically this game is very impressive with graphics better than the animated movie, ray tracing, instant loading times incorporated into the level design, and even perfect 60 fps making this the smoothest playing ratchet game since the ps2.

    The gameplay is the ratchet formula to near perfection with unique weapons that make good use of the dualsense's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers and the return of the hover boots which make movement during combat more fun than ever. The game is also decently long and replayable which is surprising considering insomniac just came out with miles morales less than a year before. The quantity of decent titles they put out is higher than any other studio right now.

    The problems I have are the same as the problems I had with ratchet ps4: the story and soundtrack. The story is an improvement over ps4 but comparing it to the ps2 games you can see how much they dumbed down the characters. Ratchet has no personality, they made him a generic kid's show character with none of the sarcasm or bite he had in the originals. His relationship with clank has no interesting conflict like in previous games, only the dimensionator stuff which leads to no real arguments or tension. The addition of Rivet and Kit makes up for this a little bit as by contrast they have a little more going on. I really like Kit's design and silly mannerisms. Overall there is little for older players to enjoy like in the ps2 games which had more mature jokes and world building.

    The soundtrack is more of the generic strings and horns they've been doing for a while. The older games (especially ratchet 1) had way more unique, memorable, and catchy tunes.

    Overall a solid game that leaves longtime fans like me a little disappointed in some aspects.    … Expand

    Truly one of the best games I have ever played in my life. I am a huge fan of good graphics, and this game is one of the best, if not THE best around right now and it is on console! Just crazy to me. I will say that the story is not what carries Rift Apart, albeit well written and enjoyable, the gameplay, graphics, and combat are the true stars of the show. 10/10 in my honest and humbleTruly one of the best games I have ever played in my life.

    Best ratchet and clank game in terms of graphics and gameplay. I'm not really a big fun of the more childish story telling. Despite that this is still the best ratchet and clank game made

    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]
