Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart Shows Plenty of Heart, and PS5 Spectacle
Ratchet and Clank’s first PS5 adventure is shaping up to be something special. And as a longtime player of the franchise, seeing over 30 more minutes of Rift Apart gameplay in a hands-off demo solidified for me that this proper, full-length, brand new Ratchet and Clank could be both a perfect starting point for newcomers and one that, so far, looks to be the best showcase for how developers can push games on the PS5.
From the dimensional twists on established characters, to Captain Qwark’s hilarious writing and performance at the parade, to the enemy variety and more - Rift Apart is quickly assuaging any fears that it might be a light package coming at the start of the PS5 generation. It looks dense, both in its graphical detail and in its gameplay offerings, and the character moments I saw made me love this cast all over again, and fall in love with what the team is doing with Rivet. Ratchet and Clank may have been out of the game for a bit, but with Rivet by their side, Rift Apart may just thrust them back into the spotlight in fantastic fashion.

Saving the multiverse is great and all, but if you’re not doing it in style, what’s the point? Thankfully, RIft Apart will include costumes for players to unlock to let Ratchet don a number of different armor sets. But to further amp up the collectathon nature of the franchise - something I am very in favor of so long as the rewards are worth it - Ratchet’s suits are now made up of three different parts. Players will have to collect the different aspects of each suit individually to complete the set, and places like pocket dimensions are a perfect spot to hide those collectibles, as I saw in our demo. These pieces can be mixed and matched, adding another level to the variety of collectibles and sidequests for the completionists out there, myself included.
