Real talk: I'm high af at the time of writing this so I'm just gonna copy and paste my Twitter review.

I will preface this by saying: I will sound incredibly negative but my overall feelings on the game can be summed up with one sentence: I had a very fun experience but it was not worth the price of admission. My previous experience with the series is as follows: all the PS2 games, the movie, and the movie game. Haven't played/watched those in a long while but I do remember loving them all, less so the first game, movie, and the movie game. Anyway, so Rift Apart... Great game. Gun play is frantic and the enemies put up a decent challenge. I even felt the need to bump up the difficulty because I felt like the default a bit too easy. That's extremely rare for me to do. I want to have a smooth/simple experience but the default was a bit too smooth. Collectibles are also really fun. I got most of them on my first playthrough so I didn't feel stressed on getting upgrades or Gold Bolts for those extras. That's another thing: Thank you game designer who said costumes and perks are separate but simultaneous unlocks. Nice QOL. That's another great thing about this game: so many goddamn accessibility options. Bigger/Smaller text? Got it. Bigger/Smaller UI elements? Got it. Color options? Got it. Don't want adaptive triggers? Got it. Miles had a lot of this too but the more games that do, the better. That all being said, here's the part where I sound negative. This game is so "Disney safe" when it comes to the writing. I'm not asking a ton of swearing or constant one liners, but this writing is so... sterile. I literally only laughed twice and that was two end-game jokes. As an RPG guy, I can stomach constant speeches about friendship. But I kid you not, if the characters aren't yelling "WHOOOOAAAA" while in one of the seemingly thousands of scripted action sequences, they're talking about how good of friends they are. It's A LOT. But, to end on a somewhat sour note: as far as I know, there's been no known changes at Insomniac since the harassment allegations came out. I only own R&C because my roommate bought it with no input from me but going forward, I'll refrain from Insomniac game purchases.
