We love the return of PS2 Platformers

A lovely game that celebrates the series while also bringing in loads of brilliant new characters and concepts that are tons of fun! Love Rivet and Kit and was kinda going insane over the PS5 stuff like the controller.

A nice fun ride that was a great palate cleanser for me

Confesso que esse é meu primeiro Ratchet & Clank, então não sei dizer se esse teve a mesma qualidade dos jogos passados, mas afirmo que Rift Apart é um ótimo game e pode ser jogado de forma independente, se tornando um bom ponto de partida pra novos jogadores que desejam conhecer a franquia.

A história é bem bobinha mas tem sua qualidade, possui diversas cinemáticas bem trabalhadas com uma ótima dublagem, os personagens são caricatos e a trama é meio previsível, mas entretém do mesmo jeito (já que a Rivet carrega o roteiro nas costas)

Esse título foi um dos poucos jogos da primeira leva de PS5 que conseguiu aproveitar as novas funcionalidades do console, e eu adorei a experiência dos gatilhos do controle; no game temos diversas armas diferentonas que podemos utilizar e pra cada uma, existe uma vibração própria do sensor do Dualsense; fora isso, ainda temos uma vibração mais imersiva durante a exploração, ela age de acordo com os passos do personagem, então mais um ponto positivo.

A gameplay é bem gostosinha, nós atiramos e destruímos tudo que se mexe, além de explorarmos cenários atrás de colecionáveis; como eu disse temos uma grande variedade de armas diferentonas, nos oferecendo diversas abordagens nos combates.

O gráfico é lindíssimo, parece que estamos dentro de um desenho vivo, o deslocamento entre os Rifts mostra a capacidade da nova geração e é incrível.

Por fim, volto a repetir que Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart é um ótimo jogo, conseguiu me tirar algumas risadas e bons momentos no fim de tudo, mas talvez ele não seja um jogo pra todo mundo, justamente por ter essa pegada mais infantil, de qualquer forma fica aí a recomendação.

A fascinating interdimensional journey, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart offers players a superb gaming experience with engaging action, lovable characters, and top-notch humorous writing. I had only played A Crack in Time before to this, so I am now excited to play more of the series after finishing it.

Rift Apart's extensive arsenal of weaponry is one of the game's most notable qualities. The sheer range and creativity of the weaponry at my disposal attracted me as soon as I began my adventure. I found myself using every weapon in my armory since each one seemed distinct and had a distinct function. The Lightning Rod stood out as my particular favorite among all. It was easy to make foes and bosses submit to my will due to to its powerful rate of fire and ability to obstruct enemy movements.

Speaking of combat, Rift Apart has excellent level design. The game successfully balances difficult confrontations with expertly designed locations. Combat is given an additional degree of strategy by the placement of objects like the red boxes that explode, keeping confrontations from getting simple and dull. Since it enables players to approach each encounter in their own special way, the game is kept engaging and fresh throughout.

One of the game's biggest highlights is the introduction of Rivet, a fascinating and lovable character who serves as a parallel version of Ratchet. It was a lot of fun exploring her character. A unique dynamic between the two playable characters was formed and gave the story more depth by allowing viewers to see this other version of Ratchet with plenty of screentime together. Kit's presence as Clank's counterpart also enhanced the added depth and comedy, all in all making for an excellent cast of characters that kept me interested in their journey.

Rift Apart's narrative may not be ground-breaking, but it still succeeds in engrossing players in an exciting multiverse adventure. The game tackles the idea of numerous realities effectively and weaves it into an exciting narrative. It provides a far more enjoyable and interesting experience than most multiverse stories in media, more specifically with MCU movies. The ideal duration of the narrative ensures that it doesn't drag on unnecessarily while yet providing a rewarding and pleasant experience.

Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart is a game that shines in its focus on detail and capacity to build an engrossing universe. An excellent gameplay experience is provided by its enormous selection of weaponry, memorable characters like Rivet and Kit, and skillfully designed level layout. The graphics are also absolutely riveting. It definitely takes advantage of PS5 hardware, and it makes me happy that Insomniac didn't settle for a cross-gen game. It is also worth praising how this game is understandable to newcomers like me, as I wasn't confused about anything happening. Rift Apart is a must-play that will leave you itching for more adventures in the Ratchet & Clank universe, whether you've been a longtime fan of the series or a beginner like myself.

This is everything that I love about Ratchet and Clank. I know most diehard fans of the series miss the satirical bite the original trilogy offered, I truly fell in love with the series with this reboot and the Future series. I love the Pixar-esque story that puts a smile on my face since so many non-Nintendo titles in recent years have been darker than what we're given here.

The combat is top notch third person action, the platforming is excellent, it's one of the prettiest games I've ever played, and it feels absolutely incredible with a DualSense controller. This is a must play if you have a PS5 (even if you never played the game prior) and I implore the industry to make tight 10-15 hour single player games like this in a world where everything has to be a bloated open world mess.

This is the first Ratchet and Clank where I actually cared about the story and I'm interested to see where they're taking it with the next one. Also, graphically, I think this is the most gorgeous 3D platformer ever created!

While this is Ratchet and Clank through and through, I'm not sure it's the series at it's best? In presentation and fidelity, it definitely is. However, I almost felt like the Remake from 2016 felt better in a gameplay sense?

I mean, don't get me wrong, it's still a fun game but I feel like most fights were the same where I would throw out a couple Fungi's and a sprinkler and kind of just do some support and clean up in the back. It felt easy to cheese at times.

Also, enemies seemed to repeat a lot more throughout this game than in the 2016 remake. I felt like I fought the same enemies and boss types A LOT through out my play through. It kind of felt like "Oh, these guys again" a lot.

Despite that, the game does offer a lot of variety. Lots of extra mini game type stuff like riding the speedle, the virus tank missions and Clanks puzzle areas... I really appreciated the variety and how it broke up the main game. If this game was ONLY the shooting portion, I'm not sure I would've liked it as much.

There was another issue I had where I was on a certain level trying to mop up all the collectibles but I was having a hard time accessing certain parts. I wasn't aware that later in the game, these areas "officially" opened up and I could explore them to finish the level then. I wish they put something up, even like a little character to be say "Hey Rivet, we're all good here!" Or "Hey it's under construction over here" something to tip the player off that they can't go there just yet.

I also want to point out that the rumbling and feedback on the PS5 controller needs to be experienced in this game, it really does take it to another level. The feeling of some of the weapons with the controller was something I was not expecting and really enjoyed.

So, while this game may be a bit prettier than the 2016 remake, offer some variety with the gameplay and have a really cool "rumble experience" I do feel like the weapons and gunplay were maybe a half step back. I don't feel bad putting this game at the same rating as the 2016 remake because I think they're equals in certain regards.

However, I can't wait to see what they do in the next sequel because I think that they are going to absolutely nail it. At least, I hope!

4.25 Stars
This game maintains the greatness this series established long ago. It features the usual hectic combat, ridiculous upgradeable arsenal, and witty humor. The plot alternates with another dimension, where you meet counterparts of all the main characters, creating a charming intergalactic adventure and adding to an already likeable cast.

This game seems to be the series' most accessible also, based on its settings and easily attainable RYNO and Platinum Trophy. The visuals are magnificent (photo mode emphasizes this) and the game ran great in 120hz, fidelity mode.

This game easily ranks amongst the best the Ratchet and Clank series has to offer.

I was never a fan of Ratchet and Clack. I played the original PS2 game, the first PS3 game and the remake on PS4 but those games never clicked with me... until now.

I don't know what it was, but I absolutely loved Rift Apart. I enjoyed the combat, the humor, the dialog and the action. The only thing I can say I was kinda disappointed is that the series is know for its whacky weaponry and it's not until NewGame+ that you unlock a couple of truly weird weapons.

On the technical side, the game runs and looks amazing. There are several moments in which the camera pans away and you truly believe you are still in a cutscene. The only technical issues are a couple of bugs I found during my gameplay.

Overall, I was surprised on how much I loved this entry, and I think I will keep an eye from now on on this serie
