Rachet and Clank are back, in great shape, in fact we can really say that we had never seen them so beautiful. Rachet & Clank: Rift Apart, exclusive to Playstation in stores from 11 June is simply spectacular The first sensation is that of stepping into an animated film. Nearly cinematic computer graphics, zero loading that means no interruption in gameplay and a story finally written for kids. It took six months but now Playstation 5 owners can begin to have a clearer idea of the meaning of the new console. Ray-tracing, 4K resolution at 60 frames per second: if you don’t own an Ultra HD TV, however, you will miss everything as you can see from this video that portrays some phases of combat captured directly on Ps5 in 4k and 60 Fps mode. The lighting effects and reflections are remarkable and finally comparable to those of a medium-high-end PC game.
As for Ranchet & Clank, it’s good to say right away that it’s an Insomniac Games title in all respects, as fun as Spiderman and as reckless as Sunset Overdrive. Better in all respects than the 2016 Rachet and Clank: from the narrative component to the artistic one, passing from the truly enjoyable and frenetic gameplay. The return of the galaxy’s most famous Lombax couldn’t be better.

History.
The story of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart introduces another main character. Rivet is a Lombax living in an alternate dimension. The evil Dr. Nefarious steals the Dimensionator, a device that messes up the plane of reality and creates an incredible new interdimensional adventure where everyone will meet their alter-egos. Let’s say right away that everything works, the target child is well looked after with that much rhetoric about friendship that the whole family likes. The robot Clank, however, in the dubbing has an unbearable voice, both for adults and for children.
What we liked.
The rain, the reflection of lightning in the puddles, but also the play of lights of Rachet and Rivet’s weapons. The animations are sumptuous. As well as the inspired and detailed drawing of the worlds we are going to explore. The combat is adult, the variety of weapons makes the gameplay varied without making the game difficult for a young gamer and Rachet’s races on the monorails and on horseback of the local creatures are not demanding and are fun. You will find the best of Marvel’s Spider-Man but you will also discover that you can write a fairy tale like that of Rachet and Clank without necessarily being linear.
What we didn’t like.
We would have liked to explore more and fight less. There are puzzles to solve but they are all in all few compared to the action soul of the game which remains predominant. You shoot a lot and maybe too much. Lots of explosions, lots of things to break and lots of colorful and powerful weapons. After an hour of play, you feel the shadow of Call of Duty in your fingers.
