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”.

First time playing a ratchet and clank game. This is absolutely a 10/10. Please dont remove this on the game catalog.

[@controllerbrain]

Have been playing it myself. Don't know how it didn't score straight 10s in all reviews.

[@epgamer1145]

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 haven't been interested in any games for the PS5, but this? This interests me.

[@danielplainview2584]

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.

[@muu_0musa]

[@cheesebased]

I was really into Ratchet: Deadlocked. I enjoyed playing as a gladiator.

[@nicosmyth5015]

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

[@TheARodSupreme]

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.

[@kingzach74]

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.

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.

[@RepublicofODLUM]

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.

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

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.

Huge fan here. Already platinumed it.

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.

Demon's Souls?

[@1001History]

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.

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.

[@rodrigoquiroz]

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

[@illimitabilities]

@@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.

[@michaelbernardo6503]

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.

[@fatihbahcivan34]

Just downloaded the game last night and played around for 2 hours so far. Absolutely fell in love with it. This one is my first R&C game ever (apart from trying out a previous game for about half an hour) and I am now checking out the reviews. This feels so fresh and overwhelming.

[@copingflower1909]

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

[@TheFilmGuyOfficial]

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]

Because shes the alternate dimension version of ratchet and not like the older games lol

[@lunochkal1861]

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!

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.

[@matthewashman8134]

@@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.
