Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, the next big Sony first-party title hasn't been out yet, but the review embargo has been lifted. This means that the review scores are already out, and, judging by the looks of it, Sony and Insomniac Games has another winner. What Do The Reviews Say of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart If the reviews are to go by, Rift Apart checks all the right boxes on how a first-party title should look and play like.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart isn't scheduled to release until June 11. However, the "interdimensional adventure" that was specifically designed to make use of the PlayStation 5's proprietary SSD technology to allow players to transport seamlessly from one location to another has been drawing rave reviews from a lot of publications.
Before anything else though, let's talk about Rift Apart first. Rift Apart will serve as the first mainline title in Insomniac Games' Ratchet & Clank series following 2016's successful remake.
Rift Apart adds a bunch of new stuff to the classic platformer, including support for ray tracing. Similar to Insomniac Games' other first-party title, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Rift Apart can run at dynamic 4K resolution with ray tracing turned on without dropping below 30 frames per second. In addition to arguably being the best graphical showcase for the PS5's technical capabilities so far, Rift Apart also brings in a new playable character in the form of Rivet.
Rivet is a female Lombax and is essentially the alternate reality version of Ratchet. Together, along with Clank, Rift Apart sees the trio travel across multiple dimensions to put an end to Dr. Nefarious's evil plans.
