“Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart” is a "comfort" third-person shooter action with some tame platforming sections and an abundance of easily attainable collectibles. While the game takes no risks at all and ends up being rather forgettable, it provides a satisfying and enjoyable gaming experience that's easy to digest.
The game's most striking feature is undoubtedly its graphics, with colorful worlds that are rich in details and contribute to an engaging sense of exploration and wonder. The selection of wacky weapons is also a highlight that keeps the gameplay entertaining throughout. Experimenting with these weapons is a true joy, and the game's approach to upgrading them adds relative depth to the experience. However, it's worth noting that the multidimensional rifts, which have been sponsored as a central mechanic of the game, don't quite live up to their potential. They mostly come across as scripted events or mere shortcuts within the same map. This missed opportunity leaves players wishing for a more innovative use of the concept.
Though it may not leave a lasting impact as a groundbreaking title, it's a game you can easily slip into for some laid-back entertainment, enjoying the vibrant visuals, charming worlds, and zany weaponry.

While playing this, I was really surprised how this game is getting universal praise from critics and usually harsh Youtubers (like Critikal), despite it being worse in so many aspects when compared to the originals - but then I realized, they did come out 20 years ago. Most people playing this probably haven't even seen the originals for this to be compared to. Fuck I'm old.
The weapon and enemy variety, boring repeated bosses, level design, lack of platforming, minigames and gadgets, and the horrible unfunny writing and dialogue are a far cry from the PS2, even PS3 days. Also, at moments the game feels a bit rushed, as cutscenes featuring giant Kit are an integral part of the story, but you never get to play as her. Giant Clank sections were a highlight in the originals.
Not a bad game at all, and certainly the most graphically impressive game I've ever played, but man was I disappointed. This series just has never hit the same highs after 2009.
I don’t expect this to be as good as some people claimed but it’s gotta be better than 2016? I just want an enjoyable enough native running R&C game on PC, wishlisted this fully expecting it to just be a polished spectacle game
