Ratchet and his robot pal (and Rivet too) get an equally impressive 88 on Metacritic, based on 91 critic reviews.
Many of the reviews praise the game’s superb visuals, on-point action, and heart-warming humour. Other reviewers are calling it the best PS5 game to date and the best game in the Ratchet & Clank series.
Reviews are also mentioning that Rift Apart maintains the same quality of gameplay that the games had previously. But ratchets it up a notch for the new generation.
Gamespot’s review says “Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart looks and plays better than ever thanks to new-generation hardware, but it’s still the same lovable, goofy series at heart.”
