Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart is a very solid game. I remember playing several titles of this franchise like Going Commando, Deadlocked, and the 2016 remake of the series. The 2016 was alright and I was worried that this one might be the same. I actually like this one a lot. However, I personally believe the story could of have dive deeper into Ratchet's character and make the player see more about Ratchet dealing with his doubts and fears. Or let the player see more about Rivet's trust issues and wanting to work solo. Anyways, I like the idea of creating Rivet. It felt like a way for Insomniac to bring old players back and new players in too.
Gameplay was clean and smooth. The old and new weapons in the game were fun to use. Enemy variety lack greatly at some point. Near the end of the game, enemies are still all the same and the mini bosses were all recycled. To me, that is the most surprising because the game makes the player travel to multiple planets so you expect to encounter different types of enemies that are unique with their abilities.
At the end of it all, Rift Apart is a good game and cannot wait for Insomniac's next project.
