As the series enters into its third (!!!) decade, this PC port is a fine way to show that the Ratchet and Clank are still compelling characters, and even if there are a few points where it feels like the game could use a little more polish in terms of performance, they can’t take away the fact that Rift Apart is an outstanding game.

With Ratchet and Clank: A Dimension Apart Insomniac shows that the saga has only changed to lose its distinctive features, and although the gameplay has improved enormously, it carries design problems that were forgivable in a generation with far fewer resources, but not today

Rift Apart improves upon its predecessor in virtually every way possible, becoming a technical marvel for ninth-generation hardware from PS5 to Steam Deck – even if Insomniac doesn't quite run as far with the concept as I would have hoped.

All in all, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is an excellent addition to the PC catalog. Especially as the genre covered is relatively rare. The game impresses both visually and audibly. Despite some script weaknesses, characters that are often too clichéd and minor technical flaws, the gameplay experience and sense of constantly renewed discovery are supported by levels and a slightly cracked, highly imaginative arsenal. In short, it's a strong comeback for Sony, which manages to erase, in part, the disappointment of March, but the premium price is hard to justify for a game that's over 2 years old now.

Despite some flaws at its day-one, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is an enjoyable experience on PC and this port is far from the issues we recently experienced on the PC release of The Last of Us - Part I.

A wonderful title that is weighed down by a PC version that needs some patches to improve both crashes and some sound problems.

Despite the issues that need to be resolved, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart manages to provide a pleasant experience for fans of the franchise who did not have the opportunity to enjoy Insomniac Games' latest game.

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart offers a light-hearted and fun sci-fi adventure that is also varied, intense and spectacular. However, the PC version suffers from problems mostly related to optimisation that spoil the overall experience.

Ratchet & Clank: In Another Dimension is a true next generation experience. The graphics, even without the famous Ray Tracing, are eye-popping. I tested it in Full HD and also in 4k, and in both cases the game never fails to surprise with its visuals.

Rift Apart is a gorgeous game with great gameplay and fantastic story that suffers from unpolished PC port that results to constant frame drops throughout the game.

Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart was already a beautiful game on the PlayStation 5 and Nixxes Software managed to improve it on PC. The game looks absolutely astonishing and fluid, as if you are walking an Pixar movie. And not only can you enjoy the interdimensional adventure with a controller, the controls for mouse and keyboard are really well implemented. It's just a shame that the PC port has problems with certain hardware combinations.

Overall, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a beautiful platformer with diverse environments, high-quality visuals, fantastic weapons, and a focus on gunfights, although it might be too much for its own good in that aspect. The PC port and the overall technical performance are not entirely ideal.

Currently it's a port with a lot of rough edges, but nothing that can't be fixed.

The Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart PC port is spectacular, but it has a few issues that need to be sorted out, like our favorite Lombax fixing an issue with his wrench.

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart debuts on PC in an exemplary way. Good graphics settings, decent performance, and a relief amid so many bad ports.

Incredibly fluid gameplay, a great assortment of the most ridiculous weapons ever seen in a video game, and near-perfect optimization. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a no-brainer if you're on the fence about purchasing it.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is spectacular on the PC. It brings the same great story with the same wonderful characters, as well as all the good gameplay elements that the series has been known for over the years. It has some very minor hitches in its giddy-up, but nothing too serious. It’s certainly one of the better PC conversions from Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a triumph on PC and should set an example for how ports should be - not just for PlayStation games, but for every other game on the platform, too. The game wrapped up in the port is very close to perfect, too. After finishing the main story, I’m still aching to go back to grabbing collectables, zipping around the planets and mashing enemies with ridiculous weaponry at the same time. Boss design can get a little stale in the closing stages, and the illusion of dimension jumping is broken slightly on even relatively powerful PC specs. However, there’s no doubt that Rift Apart is a must-play on PC if you haven’t had the pleasure of trying it on PlayStation yet.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is the perfect PC port of a great game if you own the latest hardware and have never played the game. The studio Nixxes has delivered great work and this is the quality you expect from Sony. Every minute in this game is of extremely high quality and Ratchet & Clank series still guarantees a good experience. This is a game you use to showcase your latest hardware. But if you don't own the latest hardware, the question quickly arises whether this is a game where an upgrade makes sense or whether the purchase of the title is even worthwhile.
