Back again with my problem with writing about 3D platformers for kids. Rift Apart is fun, it's cute. The use of the adaptive triggers is actually really amazing and is a standout quality of this game. The rest is... good? Gameplay has enough oomph to work, the platforming is fun enough. Only the story is frustrating, really. I wouldn't have minded if there was none, actually, but now there is one and it's really frustratingly written. The game also sometimes just flat out broke and I had to restart. Mostly lost around a minute of playtime so that's fine. I gotta say, other than the adaptive trigger thingy and the real beautiful graphics, I don't feel like there was much there that was really exceptional. It's all a lot of "good enough." Which is fine! I had a cute time.
