It‘s genuinely amazing how well many aspects of the presentation, voice acting and story hold up. The weakest link is the gameplay, which is outdated to a point that the game is a little too hard for players such as myself.
I can‘t get over how brilliant this game is. I hate to say it but Kojima was ahead of his time.

True to what I expect from Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart offers satisfying gameplay and upgrade systems with some funny dialogue but is ultimately held back by the lack of engaging exploration or an actual story.
Also did not enjoy getting stuck at random level geometry or getting pulled out of the world by invisible walls.

This just shows how embarassing Legion‘s main campaign was. The Watch_Dogs franchise is better off with defined characters that reappear in multiple installments and develop over the course of the games. This „one and done“ approach sucks, Legion was pretty bad, but for a story DLC it‘s incredible how much this revitalized my interest in the franchise.

Nothing special, quite mid, or as I‘d like to call it: Midroid Dread
Cool boss fights but level design was very unintuitive, no area or music stood out and most upgrades were pretty boring and just felt like another way of opening a door. Still quite fun, love the slide and parry mechanic, but combat is still very boring overall, not counting the bosses. The control scheme is overloaded and stiff and enemy encounters are over way too quickly for any fun to come from them.
Anyways, yeah, quite nice but nothing more.
