Next-gen has arrived – Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart review scores are in

Reviewers unanimously praise the game for its gorgeous graphics, stunning environments, and spectacularly staged moments

Reviews for the action-adventure game Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart from Insomniac Games have appeared online. Following the publication of 87 reviews, the game's average score stands at 89/100 on Metacritic. 

Reviewers unanimously praise the visuals in the game, whether it is the level design, attention to detail, or the abundance of visual effects. Instant load times also earned high praise. It is noted that this is a title that truly takes advantage of the PlayStation 5 console's capabilities. 

At the same time, Rift Apart remains more than just a tech demo for the PS5. The game pleases with engaging combat utilizing a diverse arsenal of weapons, masterfully staged moments, and an entertaining storyline. 

As for the drawbacks, there are a few pacing dips in the adventure. Some reviewers did not like the simplistic execution of boss fights. Others pointed out an overly childish story. Several outlets also note that the press build had technical issues, including “crashes,” but these flaws will likely be addressed in the day-one patch.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart will be released on June 10 this year on PS5.
