In-game cutscenes are rendered in-engine, yet they look so good I was only sure of this fact on a secondary playthrough after unlocking numerous costumes and modifiers that change the in-game model present during cutscenes. Delivering a cinematic-like experience, Rift Apart raises the bar and sets the new standard games should strive for going forward in terms of its overall presentation and attention to detail.

Ratchet & Clank as a series has been compared to Pixar movies in the past - however, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart truly shines in this regard (literally with RT enabled). Overall, I have to recommend playing Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart in this Performance RT mode as it offers the most consistent experience while still showcasing the numerous shiny and metallic surfaces of the game world brought to life thanks to the raytracing implementation. The game looks absolutely stunning on my OLED display, without compromising its responsiveness and fluidity outside of rare instances during late-game encounters but nothing debilitating to gameplay.įor those who want the best performance without compromising too much on the bells and whistles can enjoy Rift Apart in its Performance RT mode, which like Spider-Man Miles Morales, delivers similar results with what is likely temporal injection techniques.
#Ratchet and clank ps5 Patch#
I was initially disappointed that the promised 60FPS performance mode would only become available closer to the day one patch however, after playing the game for myself, I personally prefer it over the performance RT mode. One aspect of the game that genuinely surprised me during my playthrough was how smooth Rift Apart felt during gameplay, even at 30FPS. “Families, specifically those with children, even those who may not be familiar with the series, will likely enjoy their time with Rift Apart”įamilies, specifically those with children, even those who may not be familiar with the series, will likely enjoy their time with Rift Apart, with each level feeling just long enough and complete to encourage sharing the controller and getting everyone engaged in the family-friendly title, particularly among siblings who can choose between Ratchet and Rivet levels. In contrast, Kit like Clank, feels meek but determined, making her more than just a compliment to Clank. Rivet and Kit, Ratchet & Clank’s dimensional counterparts go beyond a mere gender-bending model swap, at least when it comes to their identities, with Rivet embellishing her Rosie the Riveter inspired design in a character that feels strong-willed and fierce. Like Ratchet & Clank 2016, both Glitch and Clank sequences are skippable, but unlike the former entry into the series, Rift Apart’s side content feels fun and engaging while distinct enough to spice things up between the more typical Ratchet and Rivet levels. The player must guide instances of Clank to the exit by manipulating orbs that control the physics of the space and other elements such as powering on and off objects in the environment accordingly. Additionally, taking a page from Peter Parker’s comic book, brand new hacking sequences are introduced in the game, in which the player controls a new side character known as Glitch, a spider-like nanobot equipped with her own guns and gadgets in micro levels that feel fun while never overstaying their welcome thanks to charming dialogue and fun topsy-turvy level design.Ĭlank levels also make a comeback, which in Rift Apart takes the form of Lemmings-like puzzle rooms.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is split into nine distinct planets/levels that are equally shared between Ratchet and Rivet if you include the opening and ending sequence of the game. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, as the name may suggest, begins with the titular heroes getting separated after an incident that causes dimensional anomalies throughout the universe, which ultimately leads Ratchet and Clank to team up with their dimensional counterparts, Rivet and Kit, to fix the ensuing chaos. “Fun while never overstaying their welcome…”
Aside from a few nods here and there to past characters that feel more like fan service for longtime fans rather than crucial elements that add to the overall narrative. Those who missed out on those games and are worried about not fully understanding the plot of Rift Apart can rest assured in knowing that Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart takes place years after the events of the last Future game and feels wholly original.
