Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

Platformer Science Fiction Puzzle

Summary

A dimension-hopping showcase from Insomniac Games and Nixxes Software, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart blends action, shooter, and adventure into a precision platformer built for mastery. First released on PC July 26, 2023 (originally June 11, 2021 on PS5), it drops players into a slick sci-fi chase where rifts become tactical tools. The arsenal is the star: adaptive weapons with upgrade paths reward accurate swaps, well-timed dodges, and elite crowd control. Arena trials, gold bolt hunts, and challenge modes create a high skill ceiling that favors pros who optimize routes and perfect movement. On PS5, DualSense triggers add granular fire modes; on PC, ultrawide, unlocked frames, and DLSS/FSR support sharpen competitive performance. The narrative pairs Ratchet, Clank, and newcomer Rivet against a multiverse tyrant, punctuated by boss set pieces that demand pattern recognition and disciplined resource use. For sci-fi shooter game recommendations, this stands out as a polished, tournament-tight campaign.
