Plus, it’s totally normal for newly introduced characters to receive more attention than those who are already established. Rivet does actually get a bit more gameplay and screen time than Ratchet, but you’ll be switching between them a lot throughout the duration of the game. If you’re worried that Ratchet gets the short straw in his own game, you can rest assured that that’s not the case. The narrative is usually there to just propel them onto another adventure, which is likely why the franchise has lasted this long. That being said, the Ratchet & Clank games have always had memorable and interesting characters first and foremost. If you’re looking for a strong resolution, there’s not much to look forward to. Some of the questions are just left behind at the drop of a hat, so they remain unanswered. There’s a lot of interesting subject matter introduced during the narrative of the game, but these threads don’t really get expanded in any meaningful or substantial way.

Notably, for veteran fans of the franchise, Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart lacks the stronger and more adult wit of the original PS2 games, but it’s also not as emotional or dramatic as the tone of the PS3-era games’ Future Saga. This was probably done in order to attract and appeal to a wider demographic of players, including younger gamers who have never played the older games. I won’t pretend as if the Ratchet & Clank games have ever really had a complex narrative and characters, but Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart definitely plays it much safer than I expected, especially for a franchise that’s almost two decades old. As a result, the climax and ending feel sort of anti-climactic even though in actuality, it’s visually implemented on an epic scale. As it is, everything feels too saccharine and tame at times. It feels like the writers had to play it safe, instead of taking risks with where the narrative and character development could have gone. While there are some surprises and plot twists awaiting players, I can’t help but feel as if the game could have potentially been so much more ambitious in its storytelling. What I can also say is this, the game does pick up an important plot thread from 2013’s Ratchet & Clank Into The Nexus.
A vast majority of the game remains unspoiled and ready to be discovered. I won’t and can’t spoil any more of what happens, but I can confirm that everything that the developer has shown in trailers is all from the very early sections of the game. Nefarious (a familiar recurring villain in the series) and that Clank will be separated from Ratchet, which leads to him meeting and teaming up with Rivet. Everyone and anyone can play Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, just like how I played the original games on the PS2 all those years ago.įrom all the promotional material shown so far, gamers already know that Ratchet and Clank will once again be facing Dr.

Insomniac only changed this with the PS3 games, which followed a continuing plot across multiple titles. The original classic games on the PS2 also featured largely standalone stories that meant each instalment could simply be enjoyed on its own. It features a largely stand-alone storyline, which means that you don’t really have to play any of the older games to understand what’s going on. However, just like Insomniac Games has previously clarified, I can confirm that this game is indeed welcoming to new players but filled with easter eggs and references that will delight veteran fans of the franchise. In fact, this new game is set in the same continuity as the PS2 and PS3 games. Once again, to be clear to everyone who’s only ever played 2016’s Ratchet & Clank, Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart has nothing to do with that game. It’s been a whopping eight years since that last entry. Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart is actually the sixteenth instalment in the Ratchet & Clank series, and it takes place following the events of 2013’s Ratchet & Clank Into the Nexus, the last game in the Future Saga. It really is that good, and definitely justifies you fighting tooth and claw for a PS5. Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart is arguably the best PS5 exclusive to date, and a potential candidate for Game Of The Year in 2021. Thankfully, we don’t need to resort to the latter.

Has the series held up since or does it need to retire? After so many sequels with many ups and downs, we’re now in 2021 with a brand-new PS5 entry. I was eight years old when I originally played 2002’s Ratchet & Clank on the PS2, and I never looked back since. For some, it might be Mario, Sonic or something else.įor me, however, it was Insomniac Games’ Ratchet & Clank franchise. Gamers usually have video game franchises that they grew up with fond memories of, which were also instrumental and influential in making them the gamers that they are today.
