Description
Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart for PlayStation is a third-person shooter platform game, and it is the sixteenth in the very long Ratchet and Clank series. You play as Ratchet, a Lombax –a half feline/ half humanoid foxy looking fellow – along with your robot AI companion, Clank, who hangs onto Ratchet’s back like a little metallic backpack. Lombaxes come from the planet Fastoon in the Polaris Galaxy.
The cartoony feeling game begins with Clank making a gift for Ratchet that allows them to jump through interdimensional portals. In line with the goofy cartooniness, it is called the Dimensionator! The action kicks off pretty promptly, with the villain, Dr Nefarious, who surely must have changed his name once he chose to go to the dark side, who pops up and steals it, kicking into action the characters, the story arc, and your game play.
There is also a female Lombax called Rivet (her robot companion is called Kit) who is playable for those looking for some gender diversification in their gameplay. You will play as both characters, jumping from one to the other as you jump from location to location – that is to say, some levels require Rivet, while others use Ratchet.
As well as some gender balance, there is disability representation too: Rivet has a prosthetic arm, which is handy when Clank loses an arm and isn’t dealing terribly well with his loss. She helps him to come to terms with his new look, teaching him some nifty one-armed tricks.
You battle a host of enemies, which can be great fun simply because of the variety on offer. The robot-pirates are a bit mechanical, as are the drones, but all enemies, from the dullest to the most exciting burst like juicy fireworks before vaporising into nothingness.
Taken with dinosaur skeletons clattering into nothing, those little orange heads bursting like berries and the gorgeous array of exotic colours (deep vibrant purple, electric blue, red-hot lava and gorgeously textured honey-coloured stone), combat feels rather like a celebration instead of a warzone.
Aimed at children and younger players, this game still has a good offering for adult players. Try out the various skills on easy the first time round, using grappling hooks, blasting things with lasers, unleashing a storm of bullets and mastering the jump-dash that comes in very handy later on.
Make sure you pick up everything dropped by enemies and keep an eye out for bosses lurking sneakily out of sight, waiting to ambush you!
Cranking up the difficulty means that even the most experienced player will have to keep an eye on your ammo and aim a little more certainly, and this beautiful balance between ease, engagement, and challenge means that you will find that hours have flown by once you get into the ‘zen’ of the gameplay!
As you gather loot, make sure you especially keep an eye out for raritanium: as the name sounds it is rare, and therefore valuable. You will quickly get into the habit of almost absent-mindedly picking up loot dropped during battle or while you explore the game’s map.
As might be expected with child-friendly game there are some hilarious weapons to try out as well as the more traditional ones.
Topiary Sprinkler: a hand-worn gauntlet that releases miniature turrets that then automatically deploy to take out enemies, a hit on target means that the enemy is turned to a fancy hedge, frozen in place for a moment, giving you time to escape or inflict some unpunished damage on them
Mr. Fungi: a fun guy (ha-ha, get it?) who dashes about interfering with enemies who are trying to target you, giving you precious seconds to respond, retaliate or run away!
Shotgun: a more traditional weapon, but one with a brilliant trigger system that allows you to shoot just one barrel, or both, depending on your need at the time
Cold Snap: Similar to the Topiary Sprinkler in that it freezes your enemies in place, this weapon is not automatic. However, the damage inflicted lasts longer and spreads from enemy to enemy as they touch the ice cube that their compatriot has become
Headhunter: another more traditional weapon, this is a sniper rifle that you can use to take out enemies from a greater – and therefore safer – distance
Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart for PlayStation is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

Great game to relax and have fun with it. You can play it on ps5 controller and have full experience. It needs a little bit more optimisation but working relly good. The story is great it does not get boring playing it because you unlock new weapons and go to different planets and fight different enemys. I would reccomend everyone to buy this game and have fun.
- Great gameplay
- Different weapons
- Different enemys
- Need a bit optimisatio on pc

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart PC Review
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a fantastic platformer that showcases the power of the PC. With stunning visuals, silky-smooth performance, and a wide range of graphics options, it's the definitive way to experience this already excellent game.
However, the PC port is not without its flaws. Some players have reported crashes and other technical issues, and the game's demanding requirements mean that it's not accessible to everyone.
Overall, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on PC is a must-play for fans of the series and platformers in general. Just be prepared for some technical hiccups and make sure your PC meets the requirements.
Score: 8.5/10

Old school gamer here and extremely disappointed.
I started to play R&C in PS2 almost 20 years ago. I basically completed the first 4 or 5 games in PS2 before they moved to PS3. Until then I did not played any of the R&C.
When I heard it will (finally be released on PC) I rushed to buy it (of course a mistake to pre-order it). Now that I finished the game, I felt so embarrassed that I wasted my money with such a terrible game.
Graphims are excellent, the game is incredibly beautiful and... that's about it.
The story is awful. This is a game for a 7 year old kid, no fun, no passion, just go straight forward and shoot everyone. There is nothing actually good about the game, there is no challenge, no feeling to grind to get the weapons, nothing that would actually feel to spend time to play it. I finished it and oh boy I will never ever play it again, while I finished again and again R&C 1, 2, 3 Gladiator easily.
The little glitch robot is so annoying, to be forced to play with this was such disgusting. Clank and the mini games in the other dimensions as well, what a waste of time.
Finally, you are spending most of the game to play with Rivet and the other robot than with R&C, so what's the points to call the game Ratchet & Clank?!
I am really salty about this game since it's been a while that I was not as disappointed about a product that I am buying.
I really hope this review will be read by the Business Heads/Product Owner or anyone who is responsible for the title, since I trully think this game is a waste of what could have been an amazing game with a lot of potential. Instead of primarly targeting us, the first ones who played the games and who are becoming parents, you are targeting kids who are going to forget about you really quickly since extermely boring.
This title is a shame for the franchise.

This game absolutely slaps!
As with any Ratchet & Clank game, you won't get the most play time out of it, but if you attempt a 100% playthrough, you'll still spend a decent amount of time in it.
The gameplay feels just right. I don't know how to describe it better. It's just awesome.
What I'm saying is:
It's a Ratchet & Clank game. Why are you still reading? Just buy it! 100% worth every penny.

Game does not work properly. Can't even reach 30fps stable on lowest graphic settings. It's unplayable
My pc specs are:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU
11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11400H @ 2.70GHz
16 GB RAM
Windows 11
308 GB Free space of 500GB SSD NVMe 2
144Hz Adaptative sync Screen. (I tried on 144hz and 60hz with same results)
NVIDIA GEFORCE last Driver: 536.67
Gpu is working almost at maximum and yet it doesn't work
I didn't have any other program running
Update 08/08/2023 (2 weeks after release):
Although now I can play at 30-40fps it's pretty unstable.
It crashes even in cinematics or opening, or wherever it doesn't matter
The game is fun, it's good, I loved 10 years ago playing ratchet and clank size matters and clank secret agent in psp.
In good memory of that and the horrible state of this release I won't change the review even if they fix it all. It's not fair. It wasn't a good product and still isn't. This is consumer abuse
