Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's nice to see Ratchet & Clank return as one of the showcase games of the PS5 game. This story continues where Ratchet & Clank: Imto the Nexus (PS3) left off. With the duo long having retired but forced back into a dimension-hopping adventure by their old foe, Dr. Nefarious. First, the story lenght is okay. It's could have been longer, because what was there was solid. It left me wanting more. Second, the gameplay is excellent. The weapons feel like they pack a punch. The game utilizing the PS5 controller's fearures really give a sense of "feeling" to the game, whether you are firing a rocket launcher or grinding on the grind rails. Third, the game utilized the PS5's new hardware well. Especially with the loading times between worlds and instantly hoping through dimensions in the levels. These are things that we couldn't do with the old game. The only thing preventing me from giving it a 5 is, again, the length. Luckily, there is an option for new game+, so I will be taking advantage of that. The story, characters, gameplay and tech on display are great. And I hope it is used as a stepping stone to an even greater adventure in the next Ratchet & Clank.

Hands down one of the best games I have played this year and one of the best entries in the series to date. The story was very engaging and well written. The visuals are outstanding! Beyond my expectations. The gameplay was extremely smooth and addictive. Once I picked it up, I could not put it down. I 100% completed it in 3 days and still had stuff to if I choose to. I had Soo much fun. I highly recommend this game to anyone of all ages!

This is the best looking game I have ever played! The gameplay, story, characters are superb. Insomniac has made another GOTY contender, which is to be expected from them at this point. They are true geniuses at work!!!

If you own a PS5, then this game is a must-buy! It is the first true game to harness the power of the ps5. An instant classic. Fun for the whole family.

I hope for a sequel for this entry into the ps5 cause it is nothing but fun and colorful

Game is a little short, but the graphics and the utilization of ssd technology well makes up for it. There were instances where I would almost soft-locked myself going off tangent of the main objective (Managed to get to the rail portion of the 3rd world before it was intended to and I almost wasn't able to get out of it).

Great game exciting to play. Graphics are stout sound is amazing

Its a enjoyably game and addictive. A real showcase for the adaptive triggers and dual sense controller. The visuals and the level of detail in the game is amazing.

Just the same old time-tested, action-focused, smile-a-minute Ratchet and Clank experience as ever, except evolved and iterated to be the best incarnation of this action platformer third person shooter yet.

I’m currently waiting on my PS5 to be available on Sunday but based on videos I’ve seen I can tell this will probably be the best game I’ve played in awhile and the most excited I’ve been for any game since I started playing video games!

Got to me right on time, game has been amazing with full of high quality moments packed into every hour of the game ! Definitely happy with the purchase

This is my first time playing a ratchet and clank game. I enjoyed it. It's a beautiful looking game, with intresting characters. The PS5 really shows off it's ssd.

Fun gameplay with movie pixel graphics. Fun game overall.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is amazing! A true showcase piece for your PS5! The graphics are some of the best I've ever seen. The way the game uses the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback is next level. The storyline and new characters kept me interested and invested the whole time. The controls are super-tight. My only complaint is that I wish it were longer. I've had the game for a week, and I've already played through it twice and gotten the platinum trophy. I wish they would add more rounds to the battle arena, or maybe some new story DLC or something. Despite it's length, however, what's there is a super-polished, gem of a game. Highly recommended!

Core gameplay as an action/platform/shooter is the similar to past games, but with the improved graphics, SDD, Duel Sense controller, and wave dash/wall run/hoover boots gameplay mechanics makes it a more immersive experience. There's also a new playable main character. You play as Ratchet and Rivit with Clank as a companion (also have his own mini-game segments). Both go through parallel worlds with their own story which eventually intersect. Some worlds are character specific. Both Ratchet and Rivit play the same, but with different dialogue/personality. Weapons and upgrades collected do carry over from each character. Clank also have an alternate dimension version named Kit, along with other core characters in the franchise Story: Clank presents Ratchet with a dimensionator to help him find other Lombaxs. Dr nefarious crashes the party and steals it. Ratchet and Clank gets teleported to a different diamention during the shuffle. They get seperated, Clank meets up with Rivet. They try to find each other as well as go to other planets trying to collect parts to rebuild the dimensionator. This game is built from the ground up for the PS5 and fully ultilizes the console's SDD and controller. Load times are practically non-existant. Rift tether ability teleports you through portals to new areas instantaneously and seamlessly making it impossible on PS4 (no SDD) Haptic feedback is similar to the Astro's Playroom demo. Able to feel HD rumble from environment and weapons used. For example, when you enter the club area you're able to feel the sound vibration when you get closer. For weapons you feel the recoil. Able to feel bolts go into you/controller as you collect them. Tempest 3D Audio. If you have a compatible 3d headset for your PS5; you're able to hear things off to the distance which helps in battle, and for immersion. Going back to the club example, sounds gets louder as you get closer/able to hear from afar when searching for it. Can hear ships flying off in the distance. You're able to hear where enemies are coming from when they say their voice quips/battle crys. Soundtrack for the game is really good. Adaptive triggers. Able to half press to aim and fire weapon. Weapons fire differently by pressing half way to conserve ammo, or full press for alternate fire . Most likely you're going to full press majority of the time unless you're playing on hardest difficulty. Sometimes you may whiff the trigger button when caught in a moment. Combat is very fluid. Linking weapon effects and jumping/dashing around arena can be very exhilarating once you build up your arsenal. Makes past games feel really slow in comparison and will be hard to go back. Grind rail segments feel like roller coaster rides at times, especially with a lot of things going on in the background 20 guns in the game. Some unlock 2nd playthrough. Guns do level up the more you use them. Higher the level the more perk upgrade unlocks. Max level 5 first playthough, 10 second. This encourages you to use variety of weapons and not stick to one if you want to upgrade all weapons to the max, and when out of ammo. Armor can be color customizable, mixed and match sets. Some have their own stat attributes once equipped Graphics are amazing, as mentioned before, a lot of things happening in the background. Most beautiful looking games I've seen on consoles especially with the reflections from ray tracing in fidelity mode. Game doesn't stutter with a lot of enemies on screen. 3 different graphics modes: Performance RT (Ray tracing): 60fps raytracing. lower res lighting, vfx, and screen density Performance: 60fps. no ray tracing. better graphics Fidelity: 30fps. Ray Tracing. Higher res lighting, vfx and screen density. Accessibility options are really good. Similar to Last of Us 2. If you get physical; able to upgrade to digital deluxe edition for $10 on the save file select screen. Excellent and fun game. Showcases what the PS5 can do. A must buy

I'll just straight-up admit that I had no idea that Rift Apart would look even better in person. I had followed all the details about this game since it was announced. I watched all the YouTube videos in the high definition but I was still AMAZED at what was before me as I held the PS5 controller. The audio, the haptic feedback of the DualSense controller, the fast-paced and fun story all come together to deliver an amazing experience as a gamer and even for a person who might be a casual gamer. The little details such as the shells to the ammunition rolling across a flat surface or the ray tracing reflections in an underwater facility. The total game completion took me around 15-20 hours and I continued to take in the details and collect items for the Platinum trophy. I didn't want this game to end. If this early PS5 game is this impressive then I cannot wait to see what the future holds.

I've played a couple other Ratchet and Clank games in the past, and while I've found the games fun, I've never considered myself a huge fan of the series. This game changed my mind. This is by far the most beautiful, polished, and well-designed game of the next generation so far. And not only is it a graphical masterpiece, the story is really great too. This had the best story of any Ratchet game I've played, and the additional new characters they introduce in this game were clearly well-developed and feel like real people when you interact with them. If you own a PS5, you owe it to yourself to buy this game. My favorite games on PS5 so far are Sackboy, Miles Morales, and this, but this is the only one that isn't also available on PS4, which makes it feel all the more worth investing in buying a PS5 early. I hope this isn't the last we see of Ratchet and his new friends in the near future.

One of the first games to feel really "next-gen". Graphically it's gorgeous, the controls and use of the PS5's haptic triggers is great! Highly recommend this and Horizon Forbidden West as PS5 must haves to start!

Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart is both a great return for the series and an example of what the PS5 is capable of. The only downside I can really leverage against the game is that it doesn't have a two player function like many of the past games on PS3 had. If you have a 4K HDR equipped TV the visuals are great. I find myself preferring the quality mode as my Vizio doesn't handle the performance RT mode that well and the image is a little too washed out and low resolution for me. But if you are running this on a 1080p screen you can get the best of both world with high frame rate and visuals. The story is great and while the game isn't incredibly long, it's satisfying. All around a great game if you can manage to get a PS5.

Super fun game, and with this Covid crisis, it is a nice distraction. I never played other Ratchet and Clank games before this and I was worried that I wasn't going to enjoy it, but don't worry the game is fine as a first and it definitely is a great standalone game. The story is pretty good and every time I went to a new planet it reminded me of Star Wars, plus every planet felt diverse and interesting to explore!! The graphics might be some of the best on the PS5, and the haptic feedback feels great (if that's your thing). The only problem is that you can't get it on the PS4, which does suck. But everything else is great!!
