Gotta give credit to Insomniac for constantly delivering in the quality department. Can’t remember a single Before You Buy for one of their games with a warning about game-breaking bugs or a “it could be a great game, but it needs some work”.
anyone thinking of buying... do it. Never played ratchet and clank game before but I just bought this game and wow is all I can say. Masterpiece im loving it. Worth the money
@@juanpablo8886 great choice. so far loving this game. only flaw I can think of is the enemys becoem slightly repeditive but with everything else like the great weapons and huge worlds it cancels it out completly
I too have decided to buy it today because of comments like this one, never played any ratchet & clank games but this game just looks so visually appealing.
I really want to buy it but in New Zealand where I live the cheapest version digital which is the base game cost $140 which is really impacting my purchase choice, I might just wait a while but even if I do wait I am going to enjoy this game so much, I’ve played almost every game in the series and I’m a huge Spyro fan as well.
This is a franchise that’s just amazing. Maybe one game that was kinda lack luster. Kinda a spin off. majority will be single player but you can play one title “all for one” where you can play up to 4 players local or online. Truly a blast. All games do a solid job with making it to where you don’t seem like you missed out on past events. Personal favorites are “a crack in time”, the OG/ remake as well. All are on ps4/ps5 for free aside from the remake and rift apart.
I'm several hours into this game now. I can honestly say this is one if the most impressive games I've ever seen. It is incredibly fun to play, looks amazing, and has genuinely likable characters. If you have a PS5, you MUST get this game! Its straight up amazing!
@@Hrithik_Jayanth hard to say. Whichever is the better game is up for argument. But whether or not its better than another game, it's still worth buying and playing. I finished it a little bit ago, and I'm very sad my first playthrough is over. That makes it an amazing game in my opinion.
@@Hrithik_Jayanth it depends on your playstyle. Up Your Arsenal isn't even close to being my favourite game. My favourite one was Going Commando but now that Rift Apart has come out, I think Rift Apart is probably the best one so far imo. It depends on your preferences.
I haven't been interested in any games for the PS5, but this? This interests me. The part of this video where Ratchet pulls himself into another dimension to escape an enemy, only for it to follow him through the wormhole, is conceptually brilliant, and probably does need new hardware to ensure that it runs smoothly.
It’s actually the only letdown so far. The trailer made it look so amazing, exciting and meaningful while during actual gameplay it feels pretty tacked on. Still an amazing game though and probably the best looking one so far
Just started playing this game yesterday and…It’s really just an absolute MASTERPIECE!⚡️ The animation, the fidelity, the crazy combat, the action set pieces, the diversity of environments(the different planets), the story everything is just really perfect!😃👍
I never got to play any of the future games, but my favorite is definitely Deadlocked. Despite it being extremely linear in a series known for its branching paths, the structure worked well within the context of the story, and the difficulty make it really stand out.
I'm an Xbox guy, but gotta love and respect insomniac. They are whay happens when you don't screw over the creatives in a studio. They've stuck around and made incredible stuff
@@gauravnegi4312 no it’s not. Not everyone can afford every console so they have to choose. The guy was simply stating that he’s probably mostly had Xbox but he’s had insomniac on his radar which is totally cool. You’re the one being cringen
i got a couple bugs, nothing that kept me from progressing in any way, only a couple funny visual bugs, one involving the ryno. i got one annoying bug with one weapon where it wouldn't fire but would still consume ammo, but a restart of the game fixed it.
Spoilers for the first level ahead. During the juggernaut fight in nefarious city there is a portal that sends you to a different planet to carry on the fight, well the portal into the other world never opened so i was stuck traveling in the loading screen, it was quite funny
Kit is my favorite character in rift apart. I love that they were holding her back in the trailers, It was a shock to see her and even more interesting to hear her backstory. shes like clank but the complete opposite of a "defect". and i really think if their dimension has a more capable Nefarious, Kit and Rivit definitely qualify as a formidable ratchet and clank. and seeing ratchet and clank help them get there is really what makes the story count
Nothing to do with the content, but really appreciated that you put caption into your video, it really help me so much for someone who have listening problem
@@pulseofme6884 I've heard they made it like a 16 hour campaign? unless you just run through and not admire anything about the game I guess it could take 10 hours.
Going Commando and UYA top tier - Going Commando's story is a bit meandering and anticlimactic but it has the best worlds and level design, UYA loses that but it plays better and has a better story.
Going Commando was always my favorite of the classic games. I loved Up Your Arsenal too, but it just felt like it was missing something that Going Commando had.
Personally, my favorite in the series is Crack in time. It was one of the first PS3 game's I ever played and it was my introduction to Ratchet and Clank as a whole. Its a little underrated and I think it deserves a bit more love than it gets.
I agree. My one complaint with the new Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is that unlike A Crack in Time, you are back to the old jumping in your ship and choosing another planet. I get why they did it, having two characters/groups makes it a bit difficult to use the really cool space system in A Crack in Time, but sadly I wish they could have figured out a way to do it. Sure, loading doesn't take several minutes like it used to, but having the ability to just physically fly around between the worlds made A Crack in Time feel far more real than many of the other titles. It is a shame that you were introduced to Ratchet and Clank with A Crack in Time as it is really one of the best that has ever been made. I fear given the new reboots that we will probably never see another game like A Crack in Time. Flying around and shooting at asteroids, moons, and random enemies that would pop up every now and then really was a huge pinnacle of R&C. I really miss that game and I hope someday we will see another game return to that format.
me too! A crack in time was my first ps3 game and first ratchet and clank game and man I love it. I always go back to ps now just to play it here and there
My biggest surprise so far has probably been how impressive of a character Rivet has been rather than something technical. She is a memorable main character caliber (co-)protagonist. From experience I've learned not every developer gets this right. I already expected Insomniac to do incredible things with the hardware. I think Insomniac is legitimately the best PS5 developer. No one else is even close right now.
It's still very early, most of Sonys big hitters having even stepped to bat yet. Horizon, ragnarok, next ND game, whatever Bend is working on, theres still a lot to look forward to. What makes Insomniac so impressive is how quickly they put out these amazing games, like how the hell do they even do it?
@@RepublicofODLUM easy, they take their time and aren't willing to push out a undeveloped game like most companies, I would still be playing cyberpunk2077 if it wasn't such a buggy mess, same with how cold war had such a shitty campaign, by the time they fixed it, I already moved on.
@@SIXSENSE25. That's the thing though, as I said they don't really take their time. In the last 3 years they've released 3 awesome AAA games. Even with mile morales being scaled back thats an impressive feat.
@@RepublicofODLUM not saying you can't release a great game in a short period of time, but like I said, some companies leave such buggy messes, by the time their fixed, your not interested in playing it anymore.
@@SIXSENSE25. I got a PS5 so I'm waiting for the next gen version of Cyberpunk. I never pre order or buy a game before seeing what the state of the game is. If more people did this these companies might stop pulling this shit.
1. Ratchet and clank a crack in time ! 2. Ratchet and clank 3 PS2 Ive played every ratchet and clank ever made including the remakes for ps3. I am a life long fan of them and I have to say the story ark and emotional morally questioning end of a crack in time leaving you unable to decide between cheering you won or crying sad that you lost everything at the same time is unbeatable. There are occasional moments that become boring there more you do them and you will want to skip but luckily if you stick it out the end is worth it👌
This game has blown me away especially when wearing headphones for that extra immersion with 3D audio and haptic feedback 😍👌 Perfect with no loading whatsoever
Scored this last weekend when the Black Friday deals went live and got my first platinum trophy in a week. So worth it. The game is delightful, beautiful, keeps me laughing, and implements the adaptive triggers really well, not to mention the plethora of great sounds that come out of the controller. I just wish a few worlds had a little extra oompf, but overall an amazing game. 9/10 AND it doesn't end with a frustratingly difficult-on-normal boss fight like the PS4 game.
@@cenciende9401 the humor used to be much cynical and subtle, and the stories were much less schmaltzy and sentimental. Compare the remake with the original and this becomes very apparent.
@@Gilgamosh95 agrreed. I think they’re trying to return to some balance after Sony’s decision to release the animated feature for kids. I think they can have some more entendres, but it’s campy without feeling childish.
Going Commando was my fav Ratchet & Clank game. Loved the weapons, loved the environments, loved the arena, loved rockin that Carbinox armor. Great memories with that game.
Deadlocked was my favorite as well. It was the least “cute” of the series and was pretty edgy but handled it well. Also space gladiator with all those armor, arenas, and gun designs were just mint.
Ratchet and Clank 3, I loved hunting for the trophies, it was before youtube was what it is, I loved the weapons, I remember they had a developer museum type thing you could go to, I can't remember the story for shit but I played the fuck out of that game, even bought a second disk after the first one got scratched and would have the flying through space loading screens repeat over and over and over lol.
I too bought a second disc because of the flying through space loading sceen. Also for anyone that experienced UYA online that was one of the best 3rd person shooter online games ever...they truly dont make it like that anymore.
Thanks for the review Jake. This is one of my favorite games .i never played the older ones . Easily in my top 5 favorite games . This has everything that makes a game great ,tight battle ,fun exploration and like you said lots of heart . Also it looks amazing !!! Currently I’m playing the 2016 game. Once finished I think I will play rift apart again ,
Going commando is my favorite ratchet and clank game! The racing features the planets and the scavenger hunts in the desert and snow were all so fun! A close second would be up your arsenal really love that game as well! I know I’m late to the party but I just got a ps5 for Christmas and I am excited to play rift apart for the first time!
I can't believe how stunning looking this game is. It's probably the best looking game I've ever seen. And this is little more than 6 months into a new generation of consoles. Wow.
3 was my favorite but DeadLocked was super fun being that it had co-op capability so me and my little bro would put hella hours into that game specifically
I’m glad to hear that Ratchet and Clank is doing well. I haven’t played since Up Your Arsenal but it sounds like the last couple haven’t done incredibly well and I was worried the series might hurt cause of that. It does look incredible.
What I give this game credit for is giving Ratchet his personality back cause even if he isn't completely how he used to be compared to the 2016 remake it is a god send
Glad to know this takes place after Into the Nexus, I was curious where they might go with the story. That being said if we can't disguise ourselves as Dr. Nefarious and demand his minions to get down and boogie... I'll just be disappointed. Really liked a Crack in Time, Dr. Nefarious was a riot and the gameplay was fun.
You know, at first I was a bit disappointed after reading the platinum taking 10 hours and the game being $70. BUT, it was damn well worth it. I took my time, explored and max out weapons, and got my plat at around ~15 hr. Game is fucking gorgeous, 60 fps with ray tracing and ZERO fps drops...not one single noticed drop, even on super crazy fights where there's hundreds of particles going on, and it was just a blast. At the end I was very satisfied.
download this because it was part of the playstation catalogue, first ratchet and clank i’ve ever played and OH MY GOD!!!! i’m absolutely blown away by this game, i became obsessed the second i loaded it up, ive 100% the game apart from the VERY last mission which i plan on completing in the morning. absolutely insane game, loved every moment of it. 11/10
The only issue I've had so far is Ms Zurkon (the weapon vendor) got stuck in "hiding" mode and I couldn't open her shop. I was completely out of ammo, so I had to restart the game which reverted me back to last checkpoint; I had to redo ~5 mins of battles to get back to the point I was up to. This fixed her bug. Apart from this, the game has been flawless.
A crack in time will always be my favorite. The story, pacing, weapons, etc are top notch. I miss the space ship travel in that game too. It really gave a sense of scale to the world. Plus driving around in a spaceship, jamming out to the radio, and visiting small planets along the way to my destination is literally the dream. I wish future games kept that feature and built upon it.
Haven't played a Ratchet and Clank game myself since I was a kid playing Ratchet Deadlocked. Back then I played through that game more times than I can remember. Rift Apart gives the series a breath of fresh air, and from what I have seen of the 2016 title, is far better than the previous title. While the game lacks the edge of the original games, it makes up for it with it's fluid gameplay and interesting characters. It is the second game I ever earned a platinum trophy for. Keep in mind though, you'll be playing as Rivet for the majority of the game.
After playing the game, I loved it, but what makes me love it even more is how similar the plot is to phinneas and ferb: into the 2nd dimension. You got to a dimension where the villain is ruler, every character has a counterpart. The machine they use are both called the dimensionator (2nd dimension is technically called the other-dimensionator but still) and the villain of the other dimension invades the protagonists’ home dimension to conquer it. Sad thing is the nefariouses don’t sing a song about how they’ve found a new best friend in each other
Huge fan here. Already platinumed it. The only bad thing about it, is that you don't really have much of a need to go back to most planets like in past titles when you get new equipment to traverse a new part of the world, each world can be completed prior to leaving. That's the only thing I think is a big change from the past.
I have a 3090 ftw3 and Im getting only 60 fps 1440p With custom high- ultra settings level of detail. High raytracing. Im amazed that this game runs so good on the ps5.
@@poett8875 yea they play exactly the same, i think the og commenter meant they like the new character as a character. I agree, she doesn’t try too hard and is quite charming.
Ratchet Gladiator is my favourite, but this game was so amazing, the loading time between cutscenes and game play were so smooth that I almost died once thinking I was still in the cinematic
This is the first ratchet and clank game that I've played and it's not a game I would normally pick up. I'm really glad I did. From the characters to the story this game rocks. The graphics and ray tracing is absolutely amazing. Best game I've played on PS5 and best game I've played in awhile. If you can, definitely pick this one up. 10/10 for me.
Overall I had a decent time playing the game. I don't think it was overly well written, some of the character beats felt unearned or rushed especially from our to new main characters. This is because they didn't really spend much time together at all before they had their emotional beat. One of the big missions on the cowboy planet was to get to the other side of a gorge, this was 70% of that planets story, but they literally came in a space shuttle they could have just flown where they wanted to go.. Clank accepting his arm seems like it was sort of agenda pushing and I honestly didn't buy his rationale.. he is a robot he has been broken and fixed multiple times in the series. If they wanted to do something like this they should have done it with rivet. the lack of enemy types was really annoying after a while. You are dealing with multiple dimensions and you only have 3x factions plus a couple of older animals from the previous game. It does make me wonder how much content from this game was cut. Also in regards to the game being less edgy I tend to agree I think this is mostly because they are writing ratchet differently. He used to be a bit of an anti-hero. Now he's just a hero. Also why does Rivit have a tail?
@@HachiroAE86 but this is a direct sequel to the older games. It's not even questioned in the story, ratchet would assume she's a guy because of the tail. I think insomnia likey forgot about it.
i think the reason why Rivet doesnt suck, is because they didnt make her the opposite of ratchet so much... most games with this gimmick usually do the "polar opposite same guys"
Can't wait to play. I remember when the very first R&C came out in 2003. Bought it on a whim and I've been hooked ever since. One of my all time fav series. As soon as I get a PS5, you know what my first game will be!
The real question is: Is there a "Cheats" menu like from Up Your Arsenal and Deadlocked? Where you can change your melee weapon or like big head mode etc. As someone who played Up Your Arsenal for dozens and dozens of hours as a kid I loved having the extra stuff to create challenges for myself
I'm surprised u mentioned so many things that were in the previous game as if they're new to this. Usually ur very open and clear about that stuff but this feels like overselling Rift Apart. It looks basically like more Ratchet and Clank, following up from 2016, with a new character, looper gimmick, slightly bigger levels, and next gen graphics options. Thats not a bad thing, sounds good to me as i liked the previous game, but usually u would say it as it is like that, not sugar coat it.
Absolutely loving it, Insomniac showing once again why they're such a great studio. I must admit I was worried with Rivet and first thinking to myself "oh boy here we go" but she was handled perfectly, superb voice acting, stunning visuals a great gameplay loop and solid story. 100% would recommend this to anyone.
She was also voiced by Jennifer Hale, who did voices in the Mass Effect series and more. She pulled it off perfectly. There was no moment where I felt Rivet was so overbearing that I wanted her gone, or anything. I loved playing as both of them.
I just got platinum on the game today, and I loved it. Glitch stands out as an excellent character, with her own side story. Her design, her personality, it's so good. There isn't anything I disliked about this game
Ratchet and Clank 2 or 3 are easily the best, varied enemy types across maps, new interesting characters, more edgy tones, feels like this is a re-skinned 2016 game with some bells and whistles thrown on it for PS5. Don't get me wrong, loved the game and want more but just can't help wishing they did a ps5 remaster of the OG Trilogy + Gladiator. That would be perfect.
Nope, you couldn't be more wrong or clueless. Actually go back to the old games instead of remembering them wrong, R&C is the same as it has ever been and keeps getting better.
@@cenciende9401 I did actually? And found that older games have more varied enemy types. Almost planet specific in some cases whereas this game is essentially the same 3 enemy types getting more and more beefy as the game progresses. I’d also argue there more planets and characters in the older games. I think mechanically they’ve clearly improved over time and love the introductions like hover boots etc. but take the big crystal maps in 2/3 which would take hours and hours to collect them all and felt rewarding. With rift apart the same collection missions took me like 15-20mins. Narratively Rift Apart was a bit of a tease not actually giving us anything on the Lombax’s which was a bit frustrating. I’d also argue Nefarious was at his best in 3. Despite the twist with this game I’d argue enemy recycling and overusing Zurkon etc felt cheap. As I say though, amazing game but if you really look at it as a die hard fan they left a lot on the table here.
After playing this game, all in all I agree with Jake. It’s a fun wholesome game but doesn’t quite reinvent the franchise for me. I’m finding there aren’t enough guns/exotic guns like previous installments, gun levels and upgrades are too easily obtainable, and the arena portion was seriously lacking. Most of the guns looked like each other and lacked the R&C flair (Sheepinator or Suck Cannon). The arena only has three Cups to compete in (Bronze, Silver, Gold) with 5 matches in each. By the time the gold cup was available I was so over powered that each challenge was a little too easy. I don’t mean this to sound negative because it’s not, but if I knew this before buying it I might have waited on it for a bit instead of playing day one.
@@kray3143 challenging (but not overly so) combat, fun weapons to upgrade, and a goofy and interesting story. That's all I need and always get from this series 😁.
Step 1: create an account on every retailer with payment info saved Step 2: Follow wario64 or the retailers directly on twitter and turn on push notif. Step 3: save the page directly to the ps5 purchase and have it on your cell phones home screen or desktop, easy to access and when you get that tweet, you'll be ready. Yeah, you'll get spammed witt a lot of bs tweets about wii u games no one cares about for a few days but when that PS5 is at your door it'll all be worth it. Good luck!
@@bootnad Cheers bud. If your in the U.S, wario64 is great, Lbabinz for Canada, but you can always just search twitter for ps5restock(country) and find someone. As I said, you'll be spammed with like 5-10 ads a day because thats how these twitter guys get paid, but I got mine within a week (Canada) and we have a lot fewer drops than the U.S.
This game is one of 3 reasons I have PS5 (others are Horizon and Kena) and it exceeds all expectations! A little bit of open-worldness was a good surprise and one of many. But the best is how immersive the game is, you just can't stop playing. The graphics is insane - the foliage, the air, the details around you. Think of Pixelizer, turning enemies into a pile of multi-colored cubes that you can then smash away... And combination of Topiary sprinkler with Mr and Mrs Fungi leaves you enjoying the show and only adding a few lightning blasts for the complete fun. I have to say that, with all this beauty the game is pretty glitchy when it comes to exploring where you were not supposed to go. You get stuck between rocks, you fall under the city instead of jumping on a roof etc...It is annoying as after Zelda BOTW I really wanted to get to every possible corner of this fantastic world. Fair to say it is easy to get yourself back on track - reset to the latest checkpoint in pause menu works great (and the game saves automatically literally every 20-30 seconds). The game doesn't tell you that the last gold bolt in Salvali is not there till later, it only tells you you didn't find it yet. So, as in other games of the series - if you tried and couldn't find a secret - chances are (and they are pretty big) you will be able to do it later and only later. Because if you can ride snails now, one day you will also be able to ride dragons!
"So why aren't you playing this game yet?" "Socio-economic disparity." "What?" "He hasn't got enough papers" "Working people have to wait for a better paying job to fall out from the sky in the pandemic to save us." ... i fuckin hate being an adult lmfaooo
I have considered this to myself that rift apart is such a great game but where I think it lacks is still in the way the writing is handled the developers have clearly stated how they don't plan on returning to the old way the first few games were written because of their disinterest in it anymore which still sucks
Brilliant game. Absolutely loved it. My only real complaint is how easy it was to not only beat, but how easy the platinum trophy was. The lack of skill point challenges was a real bummer too.
As someone who struggles to finish games and have never platinumed before, I enjoy the platinum is just a little extra after finishing the game 😁 I completed it on saturday and am only 2-3 trophies away from platinuming and I'm ecstatic
@@rodrigoquiroz A lot of veterans to the R&C series have echoed the same sentiments - even the hardest difficulty didn't offer much of a challenge, especially compared to previous entries. That doesn't mean people want the game to be HARD, but at least offer some of the same challenge we have seen before. The game being accessible to more people really is a great thing - with that said, more difficult trophies and skill point challenges for dedicated players would've been greatly appreciated by many people. I loved Rift Apart but completing everything 100% left me feeling like - that's... it? I have completed every R&C game 100% and it was one of the least satisfying completions because it lacked any real challenging or difficult trophies or skill points.
My only issue with rivet is that the voice actor is jennifer hale who is the same person to voice ashe from overwatch- well thats all i hear as i play, idk if thats the only voice/accent the actor is capable of but i just keep hearing ashe for any of the cinematic cutscenes with rivet
Just finished a full clear (meaning, all weapons (yes even in challenge mode), all collectibles, all armor sets)... took me about 5 days total playing 2-3 hours a day.. maybe a little more here and there. This really was a great game. I had some issues where the game would glitch and not allow me to progress. First one was during parade, the mini-boss ship there wouldn't do anything. Only way around that was to reset from last checkpoint and try again. Honestly... outstanding title. This game did the PS5 some serious justice here.
This game was an absolute treat to play through these past few days. Kept me hooked all the way to the end. Also a treat for the eyes, and for my sides. The humor was rather spot on a lot of the time.
This game really is stunning! Usually I dont take the time to really appreciate the graphics of games. But with this game, I found myself always taking a step back at each of the worlds. Always having that "wow" expression, at every little detail!
I’m like 3 quarters through the game cos I got a few a days off but damn u finished the game already? U done any side quests? Btw I absolutely love the game. what do u think of it and what would u rank it among the ratchet and clank?
Ratchet Deadlocked is my favorite R&C game for sure. That game was played a million times as a kid and it was one of the last R&C games that had the OG edge to it.
I love the story to this one, not as much as the direct content but the subtle themes and nuances behind each event. The game even made me sympathize with Dr. Nefarious but not in "feel-bad-for-him" kind of way. I think Rivet has most of my favorite moments especially towards the end of the game. I hope she stays in the future games, and the series should keep going.
This game is a blast it really looks great on a oled TV and shows what the ps5 is capable of. The controller feel is pretty cool I can pretty much feel everything your doing through the controller.
As of now, A rift apart is my favorite. It does have a few minor things that bug me. The voice acting when you preview a weapon is annoying. It also gets annoying when you are in the heat of battle and a weapon levels up. It starts this awkward slow motion time that damages the flow of battle. I do miss the humor from older games.

First time playing a ratchet and clank game. This is absolutely a 10/10. Please dont remove this on the game catalog.
Have been playing it myself. Don't know how it didn't score straight 10s in all reviews.
This is a franchise that’s just amazing.
Maybe one game that was kinda lack luster. Kinda a spin off.

I haven't been interested in any games for the PS5, but this? This interests me. The part of this video where Ratchet pulls himself into another dimension to escape an enemy, only for it to follow him through the wormhole, is conceptually brilliant, and probably does need new hardware to ensure that it runs smoothly.
It’s actually the only letdown so far.
The trailer made it look so amazing, exciting and meaningful while during actual gameplay it feels pretty tacked on.
Still an amazing game though and probably the best looking one so far
@@bingobongo1615 I disagree with your opinion but hey you're entitled to it 😁
It's not as exciting in game unfortunately
It’s also SIX hours long :/
@@HimothyBronson it took me 14 hours, you must have b lined the main story then
Just started playing this game yesterday and…It’s really just an absolute MASTERPIECE!⚡️
The animation, the fidelity, the crazy combat, the action set pieces, the diversity of environments(the different planets), the story everything is just really perfect!😃👍
I never got to play any of the future games, but my favorite is definitely Deadlocked. Despite it being extremely linear in a series known for its branching paths, the structure worked well within the context of the story, and the difficulty make it really stand out.
Deadlocked was so amazing. Wish they would make 2'er
I remember playing Deadlocked on the PS2, it was so fun
@@Remembrnceefor real deadlocked was an absolute banger of a game
I'm an Xbox guy, but gotta love and respect insomniac. They are whay happens when you don't screw over the creatives in a studio. They've stuck around and made incredible stuff
Lets buy insomniac... seriously...
@@hymabaccusaltaf3671 money can't buy everything.
@@hymabaccusaltaf3671 if moneysoft buys insomniac they will gut it and ruin it like every other company they have purchased.

@@gauravnegi4312 no it’s not. Not everyone can afford every console so they have to choose. The guy was simply stating that he’s probably mostly had Xbox but he’s had insomniac on his radar which is totally cool. You’re the one being cringen
Before you buy: it's fucking amazing. I haven't ran into a single bug yet
Your milage may vary
I had a "major" bug. I only had 59 Zurpstones. One was missing
Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between a bug and working as designed
I got a couple dialogue bugs, but nothing gameplay related at all.
i got a couple bugs, nothing that kept me from progressing in any way, only a couple funny visual bugs, one involving the ryno. i got one annoying bug with one weapon where it wouldn't fire but would still consume ammo, but a restart of the game fixed it.
Spoilers for the first level ahead.
During the juggernaut fight in nefarious city there is a portal that sends you to a different planet to carry on the fight, well the portal into the other world never opened so i was stuck traveling in the loading screen, it was quite funny
Kit is my favorite character in rift apart. I love that they were holding her back in the trailers, It was a shock to see her and even more interesting to hear her backstory. shes like clank but the complete opposite of a "defect". and i really think if their dimension has a more capable Nefarious, Kit and Rivit definitely qualify as a formidable ratchet and clank. and seeing ratchet and clank help them get there is really what makes the story count
Nothing to do with the content, but really appreciated that you put caption into your video, it really help me so much for someone who have listening problem
No problem
This one could just as well be named: "After you buy and have double digit Playhours but still watch bc its Jake''
Exactly. Jusy unlocked the ryno and acquired all the bolts before the last mission. Absolutely loving the game but ima still watch the video lmao
Double digits? What are you a casual?
@@pulseofme6884 I've heard they made it like a 16 hour campaign? unless you just run through and not admire anything about the game I guess it could take 10 hours.
Yup lol

My favorite Ratchet and Clank game is Going Commando!
It's my second favourite behind Rift Apart. Before Friday, it was literally Going Commando for me as well
Going Commando and UYA top tier - Going Commando's story is a bit meandering and anticlimactic but it has the best worlds and level design, UYA loses that but it plays better and has a better story.
Going Commando was always my favorite of the classic games. I loved Up Your Arsenal too, but it just felt like it was missing something that Going Commando had.
Well said
I was really into Ratchet: Deadlocked. I enjoyed playing as a gladiator.
This game makes me feel like a kid again. Thank you, Insomniac Games. 🥰
Yea it’s just genuine fun with a engaging story and great characters, sad that’s rare in gaming now
This game makes my now young adult son feel like a kid again. And me like an old fart.
Personally, my favorite in the series is Crack in time. It was one of the first PS3 game's I ever played and it was my introduction to Ratchet and Clank as a whole. Its a little underrated and I think it deserves a bit more love than it gets.
I agree. My one complaint with the new Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is that unlike A Crack in Time, you are back to the old jumping in your ship and choosing another planet.
I get why they did it, having two characters/groups makes it a bit difficult to use the really cool space system in A Crack in Time, but sadly I wish they could have figured out a way to do it. Sure, loading doesn't take several minutes like it used to, but having the ability to just physically fly around between the worlds made A Crack in Time feel far more real than many of the other titles.
It is a shame that you were introduced to Ratchet and Clank with A Crack in Time as it is really one of the best that has ever been made. I fear given the new reboots that we will probably never see another game like A Crack in Time. Flying around and shooting at asteroids, moons, and random enemies that would pop up every now and then really was a huge pinnacle of R&C. I really miss that game and I hope someday we will see another game return to that format.
@@kingzach74 maybe on the future game we gonna have back the space combat so
I don't think a crack in time is underrated but it's Def not ovverated the hype is just right
me too! A crack in time was my first ps3 game and first ratchet and clank game and man I love it. I always go back to ps now just to play it here and there
Video games, you, and falcon have got me thru some tough times. Thanks dudes
i want a ps5 for this game only pretty much, now i just need a sly 5 or sly 1-2-3 remake
Remake gang riseup
Or a jak 4
As a Xbox Gamer I always buy a playstation just for r&c and then sell the console again lol
@@Wckd101 jak and daxter? if thats what you meant, it would be cool yes
@@Wckd101 bruh if they make a jak 4 I’m going crazy lol! Think of dark jak transformation in 4k with Ray tracing ...
This where i'd put my PS5
IF I HAD ONE
The Dinklebergs have a PS5.
Dinkleberg
*POOF*
"Ayo, where'd this PS5 come from?"
Lmao
ps5 doesn’t exist
My biggest surprise so far has probably been how impressive of a character Rivet has been rather than something technical. She is a memorable main character caliber (co-)protagonist. From experience I've learned not every developer gets this right. I already expected Insomniac to do incredible things with the hardware. I think Insomniac is legitimately the best PS5 developer. No one else is even close right now.
It's still very early, most of Sonys big hitters having even stepped to bat yet. Horizon, ragnarok, next ND game, whatever Bend is working on, theres still a lot to look forward to. What makes Insomniac so impressive is how quickly they put out these amazing games, like how the hell do they even do it?
@@RepublicofODLUM easy, they take their time and aren't willing to push out a undeveloped game like most companies, I would still be playing cyberpunk2077 if it wasn't such a buggy mess, same with how cold war had such a shitty campaign, by the time they fixed it, I already moved on.
@@SIXSENSE25. That's the thing though, as I said they don't really take their time. In the last 3 years they've released 3 awesome AAA games. Even with mile morales being scaled back thats an impressive feat.
@@RepublicofODLUM not saying you can't release a great game in a short period of time, but like I said, some companies leave such buggy messes, by the time their fixed, your not interested in playing it anymore.
@@SIXSENSE25. I got a PS5 so I'm waiting for the next gen version of Cyberpunk. I never pre order or buy a game before seeing what the state of the game is.
If more people did this these companies might stop pulling this shit.
1. Ratchet and clank a crack in time !
2. Ratchet and clank 3 PS2
Ive played every ratchet and clank ever made including the remakes for ps3.
I am a life long fan of them and I have to say the story ark and emotional morally questioning end of a crack in time leaving you unable to decide between cheering you won or crying sad that you lost everything at the same time is unbeatable.
There are occasional moments that become boring there more you do them and you will want to skip but luckily if you stick it out the end is worth it👌
Jake seems always hyped talking about a game. Man is a true fan of video games.
This game has blown me away especially when wearing headphones for that extra immersion with 3D audio and haptic feedback 😍👌 Perfect with no loading whatsoever
Which headphones?
@@dodovomitory3496most likely pulse 3ds
Scored this last weekend when the Black Friday deals went live and got my first platinum trophy in a week. So worth it. The game is delightful, beautiful, keeps me laughing, and implements the adaptive triggers really well, not to mention the plethora of great sounds that come out of the controller. I just wish a few worlds had a little extra oompf, but overall an amazing game. 9/10
AND it doesn't end with a frustratingly difficult-on-normal boss fight like the PS4 game.
That was quick. Im trying the first R&C PS4 game from 2016 my first time. Its fun so far!
Good reply, comment. But I came here for your profile pic, haha, good choice, man.
As a huge fan of the older R&C games, I don't like how 'cutesie' the most recent games have been. Rift Apart looks great though.
I gave up on R&C...it became waaayyy to childish for me.
I agree, I really miss how crude it used to be.
They haven't been, don't know how you can call yourself a fan while getting something so basic so wrong.
@@cenciende9401 the humor used to be much cynical and subtle, and the stories were much less schmaltzy and sentimental. Compare the remake with the original and this becomes very apparent.
@@Gilgamosh95 agrreed. I think they’re trying to return to some balance after Sony’s decision to release the animated feature for kids. I think they can have some more entendres, but it’s campy without feeling childish.
Going Commando was my fav Ratchet & Clank game. Loved the weapons, loved the environments, loved the arena, loved rockin that Carbinox armor. Great memories with that game.
Seeing games I remember on the PS2 in like 2007, looking like THIS in 2024…it’s so satisfying.
Thanks Jake for always acknowledging us who don't got our hands on a PS5 😂.
Ratchet and Clank: Deadlocked was probably my favorite game of the series, and his suit was pimp as hell
I feel Deadlocked is super underrated, or maybe it's cause of nostalgia, either way, it was rly fun to play
Deadlocked was my favorite as well. It was the least “cute” of the series and was pretty edgy but handled it well. Also space gladiator with all those armor, arenas, and gun designs were just mint.
Deadlocked is clean as hell
I loved deadlock and I also think it was highly underrated
Ah I remember deadlocked I burned out quite a few discs replaying it
Ratchet and Clank 3, I loved hunting for the trophies, it was before youtube was what it is, I loved the weapons, I remember they had a developer museum type thing you could go to, I can't remember the story for shit but I played the fuck out of that game, even bought a second disk after the first one got scratched and would have the flying through space loading screens repeat over and over and over lol.
i loved R&C3. i completed that game at least 25 times on ps2
I too bought a second disc because of the flying through space loading sceen. Also for anyone that experienced UYA online that was one of the best 3rd person shooter online games ever...they truly dont make it like that anymore.
Yay that is also my favorit game
Was the first game I ever played. I was like 5 and just got a ps2 for Eid lmao.
Possibly my fastest platinum ever. I had so much fun getting there! Love you Insomniac, you raised me with amazing games! Keep being awesome.
Thanks for the review Jake. This is one of my favorite games .i never played the older ones . Easily in my top 5 favorite games . This has everything that makes a game great ,tight battle ,fun exploration and like you said lots of heart . Also it looks amazing !!! Currently I’m playing the 2016 game. Once finished I think I will play rift apart again ,
Going commando is my favorite ratchet and clank game! The racing features the planets and the scavenger hunts in the desert and snow were all so fun! A close second would be up your arsenal really love that game as well! I know I’m late to the party but I just got a ps5 for Christmas and I am excited to play rift apart for the first time!
Another episode of ‘before you get back to the game you’re playing’ 👌🏻

So true

I can't believe how stunning looking this game is. It's probably the best looking game I've ever seen.
And this is little more than 6 months into a new generation of consoles. Wow.
Yeah I was literally blown away by the opening scene when I started on Friday... Unreal looking game in person on a good TV
3 was my favorite but DeadLocked was super fun being that it had co-op capability so me and my little bro would put hella hours into that game specifically
Favourite ratchet and clank game was a crack in time. I loved the ryno in that game
I’m glad to hear that Ratchet and Clank is doing well. I haven’t played since Up Your Arsenal but it sounds like the last couple haven’t done incredibly well and I was worried the series might hurt cause of that. It does look incredible.
What I give this game credit for is giving Ratchet his personality back cause even if he isn't completely how he used to be compared to the 2016 remake it is a god send
It looks great, plays pretty fun, but the games are more Ratchet&Co
Glad to know this takes place after Into the Nexus, I was curious where they might go with the story. That being said if we can't disguise ourselves as Dr. Nefarious and demand his minions to get down and boogie... I'll just be disappointed.
Really liked a Crack in Time, Dr. Nefarious was a riot and the gameplay was fun.
You know, at first I was a bit disappointed after reading the platinum taking 10 hours and the game being $70. BUT, it was damn well worth it. I took my time, explored and max out weapons, and got my plat at around ~15 hr. Game is fucking gorgeous, 60 fps with ray tracing and ZERO fps drops...not one single noticed drop, even on super crazy fights where there's hundreds of particles going on, and it was just a blast. At the end I was very satisfied.
download this because it was part of the playstation catalogue, first ratchet and clank i’ve ever played and OH MY GOD!!!! i’m absolutely blown away by this game, i became obsessed the second i loaded it up, ive 100% the game apart from the VERY last mission which i plan on completing in the morning. absolutely insane game, loved every moment of it. 11/10
The only issue I've had so far is Ms Zurkon (the weapon vendor) got stuck in "hiding" mode and I couldn't open her shop. I was completely out of ammo, so I had to restart the game which reverted me back to last checkpoint; I had to redo ~5 mins of battles to get back to the point I was up to. This fixed her bug. Apart from this, the game has been flawless.
A crack in time will always be my favorite. The story, pacing, weapons, etc are top notch. I miss the space ship travel in that game too. It really gave a sense of scale to the world. Plus driving around in a spaceship, jamming out to the radio, and visiting small planets along the way to my destination is literally the dream. I wish future games kept that feature and built upon it.
Same I loved a crack in time with all my heart
Top
what is holding me back is that 69.99 price tag. got enough on my plate with my backlog.
It is worth it, it's a fucking great game.
Rift Apart is amazing. Rivet is cool. Emperor Nefarious is badass.
When will this game become cheep
Haven't played a Ratchet and Clank game myself since I was a kid playing Ratchet Deadlocked. Back then I played through that game more times than I can remember. Rift Apart gives the series a breath of fresh air, and from what I have seen of the 2016 title, is far better than the previous title. While the game lacks the edge of the original games, it makes up for it with it's fluid gameplay and interesting characters. It is the second game I ever earned a platinum trophy for. Keep in mind though, you'll be playing as Rivet for the majority of the game.
one year later and i have finally got my hands on a ps5! cant wait to play this
After playing the game, I loved it, but what makes me love it even more is how similar the plot is to phinneas and ferb: into the 2nd dimension.
You got to a dimension where the villain is ruler, every character has a counterpart. The machine they use are both called the dimensionator (2nd dimension is technically called the other-dimensionator but still) and the villain of the other dimension invades the protagonists’ home dimension to conquer it. Sad thing is the nefariouses don’t sing a song about how they’ve found a new best friend in each other
I’m with you on keeping Rachet’s classic look, wish we could equip armor for the bonus stats but say hide it
Not sure if they changed it, but in my game it says that bonuses are aplayed without armor on.
Huge fan here. Already platinumed it. The only bad thing about it, is that you don't really have much of a need to go back to most planets like in past titles when you get new equipment to traverse a new part of the world, each world can be completed prior to leaving. That's the only thing I think is a big change from the past.
I know I'm 3 years late or so but I'm 1 hour in and it's fun. I haven't played any ratchet and clank since ps3 so it's dope
I have a 3090 ftw3 and Im getting only 60 fps 1440p
With custom high- ultra settings level of detail.
High raytracing.
Im amazed that this game runs so good on the ps5.
Cannot wait to get in to this game tomorrow. Gonna spend my whole day off playing it. 👌
Get Ratchet and Clank for PS4. It has a PS5 "update" ... Play this one first. I recommend it.
@@TheOriginalSebacrush it's wack didn't like it. The next gen game are better!
I have no money ☹️
Make sure to 100% it
I will buy it also tomorrow
I ended up liking playing as Rivet more then Ratchet lol , Amazing game !
Same!
I heard in a lot of reviews that their gameplay is basically the same. It’s just different characters.
@@poett8875 - their guns, armor, and moves are identical.
@@poett8875 yea they play exactly the same, i think the og commenter meant they like the new character as a character. I agree, she doesn’t try too hard and is quite charming.
Ratchet Gladiator is my favourite, but this game was so amazing, the loading time between cutscenes and game play were so smooth that I almost died once thinking I was still in the cinematic
Ratchet gladiator? Is that deadlocked by another name?
ratchet deadlocked and crack in time are goated
@@leaguecarrypro yeah in Australia it's Ratchet Gladiator
@@liamcullis3513 damn I prefer your name for it tbh. Definitely an under rated game though, I loved leveling my weapons to level 100 lmao
goddamn how many ratchet solo games are there 💀
I got this game two days ago because I just got the PS5. I’ve never played a R&C game before, but I really like it.
This is the first ratchet and clank game that I've played and it's not a game I would normally pick up. I'm really glad I did. From the characters to the story this game rocks. The graphics and ray tracing is absolutely amazing. Best game I've played on PS5 and best game I've played in awhile. If you can, definitely pick this one up. 10/10 for me.
Overall I had a decent time playing the game. I don't think it was overly well written, some of the character beats felt unearned or rushed especially from our to new main characters. This is because they didn't really spend much time together at all before they had their emotional beat.
One of the big missions on the cowboy planet was to get to the other side of a gorge, this was 70% of that planets story, but they literally came in a space shuttle they could have just flown where they wanted to go..
Clank accepting his arm seems like it was sort of agenda pushing and I honestly didn't buy his rationale.. he is a robot he has been broken and fixed multiple times in the series. If they wanted to do something like this they should have done it with rivet.
the lack of enemy types was really annoying after a while. You are dealing with multiple dimensions and you only have 3x factions plus a couple of older animals from the previous game.
It does make me wonder how much content from this game was cut.
Also in regards to the game being less edgy I tend to agree I think this is mostly because they are writing ratchet differently. He used to be a bit of an anti-hero. Now he's just a hero.
Also why does Rivit have a tail?
Because shes the alternate dimension version of ratchet and not like the older games lol
@@HachiroAE86 but this is a direct sequel to the older games. It's not even questioned in the story, ratchet would assume she's a guy because of the tail. I think insomnia likey forgot about it.
Damn I miss Ratchet's old personality so bad! He used to be such a badass.
@@TheFilmGuyOfficial forget what ? Once again she’s from a different dimension
@@mrpopo5097 ehhh if that was the reasoning they would have chucked in some dialogue about it
i think the reason why Rivet doesnt suck, is because they didnt make her the opposite of ratchet so much... most games with this gimmick usually do the "polar opposite same guys"
EXACTLY they are to much the same to hate one or the other making it hard to get hate for one of them.
Can't wait to play. I remember when the very first R&C came out in 2003. Bought it on a whim and I've been hooked ever since. One of my all time fav series. As soon as I get a PS5, you know what my first game will be!
Demon's Souls?
It's on sale right now on PSN. Bought the digital deluxe edition cause I want some positive vibes. I remember the original game on PS2. Classic.
The real question is: Is there a "Cheats" menu like from Up Your Arsenal and Deadlocked? Where you can change your melee weapon or like big head mode etc. As someone who played Up Your Arsenal for dozens and dozens of hours as a kid I loved having the extra stuff to create challenges for myself
Somewhat yes. There is a big head mode, a infinite health, infinite ammo, and more!
Absolutely loved the game. Just here to say my favorite character was Pierre Le Fer pirate extraordinaire ❤️ 🏴☠️
Ratchet: Deadlocked / Gladiator is my all time fave.
That game was just so much! definitely going to get this one tho
Now we wait for "the best thing about it" on Jake's channel 😂
Yeah he ain't holding back with his opinion there, I always watch both😁
I already finished the game but seeing jake break it down is just awesome
I'm surprised u mentioned so many things that were in the previous game as if they're new to this. Usually ur very open and clear about that stuff but this feels like overselling Rift Apart. It looks basically like more Ratchet and Clank, following up from 2016, with a new character, looper gimmick, slightly bigger levels, and next gen graphics options. Thats not a bad thing, sounds good to me as i liked the previous game, but usually u would say it as it is like that, not sugar coat it.
Absolutely loving it, Insomniac showing once again why they're such a great studio. I must admit I was worried with Rivet and first thinking to myself "oh boy here we go" but she was handled perfectly, superb voice acting, stunning visuals a great gameplay loop and solid story. 100% would recommend this to anyone.
She was also voiced by Jennifer Hale, who did voices in the Mass Effect series and more. She pulled it off perfectly. There was no moment where I felt Rivet was so overbearing that I wanted her gone, or anything. I loved playing as both of them.
I just got platinum on the game today, and I loved it. Glitch stands out as an excellent character, with her own side story. Her design, her personality, it's so good. There isn't anything I disliked about this game
How many hours did it take to get platinum?
@@astifcaulkinyeras not too long. Maybe an extra hour after you beat the game if you work on it. I'd say 20 hours or so. How long to beat says 17.5
Glitch side story is so uplifting! Makes me feel so positive about everything
Ratchet and Clank 2 or 3 are easily the best, varied enemy types across maps, new interesting characters, more edgy tones, feels like this is a re-skinned 2016 game with some bells and whistles thrown on it for PS5. Don't get me wrong, loved the game and want more but just can't help wishing they did a ps5 remaster of the OG Trilogy + Gladiator. That would be perfect.
Nope, you couldn't be more wrong or clueless. Actually go back to the old games instead of remembering them wrong, R&C is the same as it has ever been and keeps getting better.
@@cenciende9401 I did actually? And found that older games have more varied enemy types. Almost planet specific in some cases whereas this game is essentially the same 3 enemy types getting more and more beefy as the game progresses. I’d also argue there more planets and characters in the older games. I think mechanically they’ve clearly improved over time and love the introductions like hover boots etc. but take the big crystal maps in 2/3 which would take hours and hours to collect them all and felt rewarding. With rift apart the same collection missions took me like 15-20mins. Narratively Rift Apart was a bit of a tease not actually giving us anything on the Lombax’s which was a bit frustrating. I’d also argue Nefarious was at his best in 3. Despite the twist with this game I’d argue enemy recycling and overusing Zurkon etc felt cheap.
As I say though, amazing game but if you really look at it as a die hard fan they left a lot on the table here.
After playing this game, all in all I agree with Jake. It’s a fun wholesome game but doesn’t quite reinvent the franchise for me.
I’m finding there aren’t enough guns/exotic guns like previous installments, gun levels and upgrades are too easily obtainable, and the arena portion was seriously lacking.
Most of the guns looked like each other and lacked the R&C flair (Sheepinator or Suck Cannon). The arena only has three Cups to compete in (Bronze, Silver, Gold) with 5 matches in each. By the time the gold cup was available I was so over powered that each challenge was a little too easy.
I don’t mean this to sound negative because it’s not, but if I knew this before buying it I might have waited on it for a bit instead of playing day one.
Got it on ps5 with PlayStation plus, game is super fun and addictive. Performance RT mode is the best
Loved "Going Commando" the most with "Deadlocked" a close second. Looking forward to this one when I eventually pick up a PS5.
same here
Same huge fan of ratchet and clank games
If you're hoping it's anything like Going Commando, you might be disappointed. Still a decent game, just nothing like the older ones
@@kray3143 challenging (but not overly so) combat, fun weapons to upgrade, and a goofy and interesting story. That's all I need and always get from this series 😁.
The first ever ratchet and clank was by far the best. The art style was beautiful and still holds up, the music was 10/10 and the worlds were awesome.
I can't wait to play this game. I've been playing since the first game. I really want the PS5 SOOOOOO BAD
I hope you get one soon!

i feel you my friend...
This game is one of 3 reasons I have PS5 (others are Horizon and Kena) and it exceeds all expectations! A little bit of open-worldness was a good surprise and one of many. But the best is how immersive the game is, you just can't stop playing. The graphics is insane - the foliage, the air, the details around you. Think of Pixelizer, turning enemies into a pile of multi-colored cubes that you can then smash away... And combination of Topiary sprinkler with Mr and Mrs Fungi leaves you enjoying the show and only adding a few lightning blasts for the complete fun.
I have to say that, with all this beauty the game is pretty glitchy when it comes to exploring where you were not supposed to go. You get stuck between rocks, you fall under the city instead of jumping on a roof etc...It is annoying as after Zelda BOTW I really wanted to get to every possible corner of this fantastic world. Fair to say it is easy to get yourself back on track - reset to the latest checkpoint in pause menu works great (and the game saves automatically literally every 20-30 seconds). The game doesn't tell you that the last gold bolt in Salvali is not there till later, it only tells you you didn't find it yet. So, as in other games of the series - if you tried and couldn't find a secret - chances are (and they are pretty big) you will be able to do it later and only later. Because if you can ride snails now, one day you will also be able to ride dragons!
The over the top voice acting of zurkie jr. weapon descriptions always light me up 🤭🤭🤭 and yes, every game should have photo mode 🤩

"Socio-economic disparity."
"What?"
"He hasn't got enough papers"
"Working people have to wait for a better paying job to fall out from the sky in the pandemic to save us."
... i fuckin hate being an adult lmfaooo
I have considered this to myself that rift apart is such a great game but where I think it lacks is still in the way the writing is handled the developers have clearly stated how they don't plan on returning to the old way the first few games were written because of their disinterest in it anymore which still sucks
Brilliant game. Absolutely loved it. My only real complaint is how easy it was to not only beat, but how easy the platinum trophy was. The lack of skill point challenges was a real bummer too.
I'm gonna be honest, i died more of falling stupidly rather dying when fighting an enemy
As someone who struggles to finish games and have never platinumed before, I enjoy the platinum is just a little extra after finishing the game 😁 I completed it on saturday and am only 2-3 trophies away from platinuming and I'm ecstatic
@@SeizingJday Congrats! Enjoy your first platinum!
Play Elden Ring if you want difficult. This is a game for all ages and it's great. Also is quite challenging if you go to higher difficulties
@@rodrigoquiroz A lot of veterans to the R&C series have echoed the same sentiments - even the hardest difficulty didn't offer much of a challenge, especially compared to previous entries. That doesn't mean people want the game to be HARD, but at least offer some of the same challenge we have seen before. The game being accessible to more people really is a great thing - with that said, more difficult trophies and skill point challenges for dedicated players would've been greatly appreciated by many people.
I loved Rift Apart but completing everything 100% left me feeling like - that's... it? I have completed every R&C game 100% and it was one of the least satisfying completions because it lacked any real challenging or difficult trophies or skill points.
My only issue with rivet is that the voice actor is jennifer hale who is the same person to voice ashe from overwatch- well thats all i hear as i play, idk if thats the only voice/accent the actor is capable of but i just keep hearing ashe for any of the cinematic cutscenes with rivet
Just finished a full clear (meaning, all weapons (yes even in challenge mode), all collectibles, all armor sets)... took me about 5 days total playing 2-3 hours a day.. maybe a little more here and there. This really was a great game. I had some issues where the game would glitch and not allow me to progress. First one was during parade, the mini-boss ship there wouldn't do anything. Only way around that was to reset from last checkpoint and try again. Honestly... outstanding title. This game did the PS5 some serious justice here.
This game was an absolute treat to play through these past few days. Kept me hooked all the way to the end. Also a treat for the eyes, and for my sides. The humor was rather spot on a lot of the time.
This game really is stunning! Usually I dont take the time to really appreciate the graphics of games. But with this game, I found myself always taking a step back at each of the worlds. Always having that "wow" expression, at every little detail!
But when will it be cheep
@@samuraibeastwarrior2886 It is NOW
Lol I’m watching the before you buy for this right after I finished the game
You finish the game already? You have no life bro or what??
Same 🤣
@@cjc4426 honestly tho, guy probably had a day off with nothing to do. You ever hear of COVID?
@Yoogster He's just mad and jealous that he can't have the time to play. Probably doesn't have a PS5 either.
I’m like 3 quarters through the game cos I got a few a days off but damn u finished the game already? U done any side quests? Btw I absolutely love the game. what do u think of it and what would u rank it among the ratchet and clank?
Ratchet and Clank 3 when I was a little kid. 18 now, and I’m getting a PS5 just for Rift Apart.
Ratchet Deadlocked is my favorite R&C game for sure. That game was played a million times as a kid and it was one of the last R&C games that had the OG edge to it.
I love the story to this one, not as much as the direct content but the subtle themes and nuances behind each event. The game even made me sympathize with Dr. Nefarious but not in "feel-bad-for-him" kind of way. I think Rivet has most of my favorite moments especially towards the end of the game. I hope she stays in the future games, and the series should keep going.
Yep, as usual I'm here after. This time even after platinuming the game.
A Must Play!
Already the platinum? Wow. Congrats.
Same here! A must play
no way
How easy is the plat?
@@Arman... look me up on psn if u need proof
This game is real definition of fun. Good laugher with satisfying gun play, beautiful graphics and awesome sound effects. Must buy imo 👍🏻
Ps2 ratchet and clank was better
@@VolcanicDeadLocked who cares?
@@edwardsolaire5672 ok.
Finally just played this game and it's amazing. Came back and wanted to watch the before you buy
Ratchet and Clank Going Commando is my favorite ratchet game. That Ryno II with the lock on mod was a game changer!!
This game is a blast it really looks great on a oled TV and shows what the ps5 is capable of. The controller feel is pretty cool I can pretty much feel everything your doing through the controller.
I love this game! The dual sense really immersed me into it with the feel
As of now, A rift apart is my favorite. It does have a few minor things that bug me. The voice acting when you preview a weapon is annoying. It also gets annoying when you are in the heat of battle and a weapon levels up. It starts this awkward slow motion time that damages the flow of battle. I do miss the humor from older games.
I love the weapon previews. Although I am sure they new it would annoy some people.
This is a long time ago but I think you can disable the slowdown level up thingy in the options somewhere ~
God, I love this game. Ratchet & Clank can do no wrong. Just bought my PS5, played this before the attached Spiderman 2.
I havent had a ratchet and clank game since the original ps2 game. Now that Its on pc, I hope it lives up to the old one!
