One of the best games I have played so far this year. Insomniac Games, Known for Marvel's Spider-Man and Miles Morales, has really stepped up their game with this one. The combat in this game is really fun, I'm glad they used the haptic feedback instead of not utilizing them and forgetting them. Also, the weapons in this game are super cool and unique. They don't feel the same and it's fun trying a new weapon instead of sticking with one. Even getting the collectibles was fun because they added something to the game. Like you can change how your hammer/wrench looks like or you can have a big head! You can even get a new weapon if you collect a certain amount of a collectible. You can also wear armor that gives certain things like you can deal more damage or collect some more bolts.

The story overall is great! It never feels dull or uninteresting, it keeps you entertained and makes you interested/invested in these characters. Hell, even the side characters were a blast. Also, the humor is great it's funny and it doesn't feel forced or cringy.

Rift Apart is a beautiful game. It runs smoothly at 60fps and it has raytracing. This game takes full advantage of the PS5s hardware and it shows. Traveling through pocket dimensions, traveling to other planets, using the Blizon Crystals is amazing with no lag, load times, or even buffering! Sure there are load times but the game loads so quickly that you don't even notice it. It doesn't ruin your experience/gameplay. It blows my mind that this game is on a console. Oh by the way, if you wanted to take pictures of the beautiful landscape or hype moments then you can use the games photo mode! There's a bunch of stickers and filters you can use. You can control the light, poses, and expression of the character. I didn't think I had this much fun taking pictures but here we are.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is an incredible game and is a must-get if you have a PS5. I do wonder what will be the next game in this series because it will be hard to top this one.
