Rift Apart was a pretty good game and such a fun entry in the series after being gone for so long. This game is graphically incredible and surprisingly ran so consistently well minus a few glitches. The combat is pretty engaging with a good variety of weapons available, though I did want a little more and miss some past staples like the flamethrower. I loved the added movement abilities made here such as the dash and wall running in making both ratchet and rivet so mobile and smooth in traversal and combat.

The story was pretty good overall and I enjoyed the new additions of Rivet and Kit to the series as they bring a different feel compared to Ratchet and Clank, especially when they are swapped and explore some interesting areas such as Ratchet’s conflicting feelings with potentially meeting other lombax and what that would mean for him. That said, this game is criminally short, especially for a full price current gen game that I thankfully did not pay for because it’s on ps plus. I would have loved to get more areas or have the story or other elements like the rifts be tackled even further than the super short and linear portions they ended up being. Not too mad about it because at the end of the day I really enjoyed playing through this and will definitely be returning on harder difficulties and collecting everything. Hopefully the next entry won’t take another console generation but I guess that’s the nature of games nowadays.
