Unfortunately not in a GTA V-esque style instead, certain missions are only for Rivet and others only for Ratchet. Players will be split between both Ratchet and Rivet during their missions in Rift Apart. After stealing The Dimensionator from our heroes, our adventure begins as the two set out on a mission to retrieve The Dimensionator, repair the rifts that have appeared, and defeat Nefarious.Īlong the way, we meet Rivet, who is the dimensional counterpart to Ratchet and a fellow Lombax. Our celebrations are swiftly interrupted by the main antagonist of Ratchet and Clank, Doctor Nefarious. As many fans will know, Ratchet is considered to be the last remaining Lombax alive. The purpose of the gadget was to give Ratchet the opportunity to travel into other dimensions and search for Lombaxes. During the parade, Ratchet is gifted a new gadget by his lifelong friend Clank - The Dimensionator.
#Ratchet and rivet in love series
The event is hosted by non-other than everyone's favourite Captain Qwark and gives newcomers to the series a chance to familiarise themselves with the controls as Ratchet shows off his abilities to the crowd. Our story begins with a teaser into Rivet's dimension, followed shortly after with a transition back to Ratchet and Clank at a parade dedicated to their heroism. Players will experience everything that made them fall in love with the series, a never-ending supply of unique weapons, the whacky characters you meet along the way, satisfying platforming elements, and intense combat.Īlthough Rift Apart is filled with familiarity, if you've never jumped into a Ratchet & Clank game before then there's still plenty about the game that will appeal to newcomers. If you're a pre-existing fan of the Ratchet & Clank series, there's no way you could pick up Rift Apart and not be exhilarated to go on another adventure with our favourite Lombax and Robot.

Prior to Rift Apart we were treated to a reimagining of the original Ratchet & Clank for the PlayStation 4 back in 2016.

Now, I am fully aware that there have been numerous Ratchet & Clank titles over the years. I'm happy to report that Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart has finally filled that giant nostalgic hole that has been inside of me for all these years. Even when we're treated to remasters or backwards compatible titles, it just never seems to satisfy that feeling. We all know what it's like to yearn for the experience of playing a classic PlayStation 2 or Xbox title for the very first time again.
