Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Launch Edition

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

Much better than 2016 but the writing is still bad

Way higher rated than I expected on here

real me wishes alternate ratchet had alternate personality and alternate guns
