Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is a stunning tour de force for both Insomniac and the Playstation 5. Harnessing the brilliant story, world, characters and imagination of the Ratchet universe, Insomniac have super-charged their vision with Sony's next gen hardware to create an over-awing visual showcase. It doesn't hurt that the game is pretty damn fun as well.
Review code provided by Sony.

@skill up you also recommending Returnal and surf shark, so I guess I'll pass.
But is it as good as Ratchet and Clank: Deadlocked?
DUDE!! YOU DIDNT EVEN TALK ABOUT THE DUALSENSE FEATURES! A LOT OF US WANT TO KNOW IF THEY ARE BETTER THAN RETURNAL?? COOOME ON. GOOD REVIEW EXCEPT FOR THAT.
Surfshark sucks, I'm stuck with another 3 years of them, Best server is only 90 down. Most websites, including google detects them and makes you verify that you're real. Every single google search with Surfshark on makes you prove that you're human because of abnormal activity from their IP.
This is actually what “16 times the detail” means …
"It just works!"
I know it's a meme but Todd talked about the render distance and he was right if you compare 76 to 4.
The only game on the planet where graphics are more important than gamplay! Literally...

"No SSD, no matter how fast, can make a game fun"
Such a good quote! Kudos to Insomniac!
Same with the tflops
There's quite a lot of games where SSD does that like Total War games
@@knavenformed9436 Yeah SSD increases fun in quite some games, Total War is a good example.
That quote is so wrong! Woever said that hasn't seen an HDD in years, let alone used it to play games.
@@Adama.1 but the SSD is not what makes the game fun.
I can't believe all those cutscenes are real-time graphics. There's literally no drop in quality, they've done it. We have actual, playable Pixar level games now. This is it, the pinnacle.
And to me it’s no surprise that insomniac were the ones to do it.
Dude, this is literally the beginning of the lifecycle. 5 year's from now? Bruh...🤯🤯
@@wbrodie55 Look, you REALLY think graphics are gonna advance that much? The upgrades between consoles have been getting smaller and smaller. We have Pixar quality playable games now, we have photo-realistic architecture through the RE Engine, among other things. They can't really get much better than this.
Not really, but it does look quite great.
@@otakon17 They can always get better than this. I've played both Demon's Souls and Rift Apart and while those are currently the best looking games to ever exist, I've noticed plenty of areas in which graphics can still improve. They might have surpassed the fidelity of animated movies but they still can't equate to real life, and the "it's a video game" outlook is still everpresent. I'd say if by the end of the PS5 lifecycle we haven't achieved that, then the PS6 finally would.
Never stop mentioning Soul Reaver at every opportunity.
Never.
Seriously. Soul Reaver is long overdue for a comeback.
Big True - I think that Shadowman also deserves to be mentioned from time to time as well.
And soulcalibur

@Ramon Andrajo Okay incel.
@@jman2856 Fr. This idiot keep posting the same comment on different posts and reviews. The voice actor for Rivet is well known from SEVERAL games and did an amazing job. Not every female character in videogames have some hidden feminist agenda.
@@ramonandrajo6348 Do tell what this "hidden agenda" is please. Rivet isn't the main character even though Ratchet and she are the same character from different dimensions. You don't like Rivet because she happens to be female? She's no Abby.
@@ramonandrajo6348 You are forced to play the other character either way because that is a big plot point. The fact that Rivet is female doesn't matter. Most reviewers claim that she is funny and has an interesting backstory.
Two years later, played it on PC, literally last weekend. Rift Apart is the best looking game ever made, two years from initial release. I can not overstate how awesome this game looks. It's a true work of art.
Horizon Forbidden West takes the cake.
@@Beamo.. I'll verify it once it lands on PC. But I hope you're right :D
@@Beamo..it looks great but I think ratchet looks better so far. Granted I’m only a couple hours in on both
@@johnny05100 I'm playing both right now and kind of agree, I think that R&C art style is more appealing, maybe. It feels like you're watching/playing a pixar movie. Beautifully crafted
One other thing I was very much impressed with was with the use of adaptive triggers. From firing one or both barrels of a shotgun to pre-spinning a minigun, they found a good and kinda natural way to include that into the gameplay.
The adaptive triggers nearly cramped my finger.. but damn it the combat of this game is amazing (easy platinum too)
Especially the damn black hole storm, lightning rod, negatron collider and the enforcer
Coupled with topiary.. enemies would melt in seconds... But damn my fingers got cramped from all the firing feedback

I love how most of the comments go back to not being able to require a PS5. I hope everyone can get one to play this sometime soon.
I hope everyone get’s one, not just to play this though, I’ll play it when it goes on sale, my principles won’t let me pay $75.95 for a game, especially a digital download, they are supposed to be cheaper than a hard copy.
@@studivan No they are not supposed to be cheaper. They are supposed to support the creators of the game more with lack of packaging and no disc burning
@@masonmitchell3 That’s bs lmao. The only reason digital games aren’t cheaper is because publishers do not want to upset physical retailers (Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop...). It’s important to have physical presence with game releases. Little kids walk past an isle of video games in Walmart and look at the cool Ratchet and Clank cover and asked to their parents to get the game... It’s a form to advertisement to have your games in millions of stores around the country. That’s why publishers will never make digital cheaper even thought it should be.
@@Aliens1337 Exactly, why make it cheaper when you can capitalize gains on a digital version
@@studivan Wtfeva, can't afford gaming?.. get out of gaming, in other words, don't expect everyone to do what your gonna do, when buying this game...Insomniac is a excellent game developer, and i'm gonna support them and buy it for $70...and you know what? I don't even have a PS5!!!....Yet 😂 🤷🏾♂️

@@JoseRodriguez-nu3cu Hey cool story bro 🥴
Artist managed to upload RIvet's art on rule 34 less than one hour after the reveal trailer.

And Pixar quality art and animation
This game just murdered the last generation in cold blood.
Insomniac is on fire with miles and ratchet cant wait for spiderman 2 and play both if I can ever get a damn ps5
What's a ps5? Is it out already I thought they only built like a thousand for the scalpers?
I'm betting Spiderman 2 will be a ps5 exclusive. I believe if Rift Apart is really succesful, Sony will want to fully utilise the full capabilities of the ps5.
@@kal-el4781 well I think spiderman 2 is gonna be released at 2023 so there would be enough ps5 and its production must have only started in like 2020 so I definitely think its gonna be a ps5 exclusive
Spider-Man 2 , I need that shit like Yesterday fr
It's time for resistance reboot. Insomniac are now top tier developers, can't wait to see what they can do with that franchise.
I'm far too excited for this game, one of the main reasons I picked up a PS5. I played through the early R&C games on PS2 but after switching to Xbox missed out on so many of the PS3/4 titles, the reboot scratched an itch gameplaywise but felt a little off the mark. It feels like this will be a return to form and the kind of game I have wanted to experience for over a decade.
This game is a direct continuation of the ps3 games you missed. The story isnt too complicated but if you care at all about the characters you can look up what has been happening.
I also switched to the 360 but now I really think I should get the PS5 instead this time
You can play the PS3 games on PC via emulator and maybe they're on PS Now, not sure.
Hey man, been a huge gamer my whole life but unfortunately must have just missed this series but this game looks awesome. Do you think I need to play the old ones or I’d be okay jumping in?
@@jakeryan2805 that is completely wrong, as the devs stated, this game is stand alone occurring in its own universr and one does not need to play the other games to understand anything, stop giving false info dude
This cements my belief that art direction and style can make a more beautiful game than super ultra hyper realistic textures.
See: Pixar's best.
@Fart Blackson Yup. Okami is a PS2 game and it still looks pretty good on the PS4. Some of the textures don't quite hold up in HD on a big screen, but it mostly still looks good.
Compare it to anything "realistic" from that time, it'll have aged like milk.
I've never played nor had an interest in this game series but this one looks so incredible and too good to pass up.
It looks incredible. Personally don't like this series but it deserves serious credit on the tech front.
Props to all ps5 owners who can enjoy this, I’ll check it out in a very long time
Feel very blessed to be one of them - best luck for my fellow gamers finding one soon

@@pneumonoultramicroscopicsi4065 y salty ?
I've owned almost every console ever made, (started with Pong), and I've built several gaming rigs over the years. I've been gaming for about 45 years, so needless to say I'm about as veteran as gamers come. I find it almost embarrassing to say, but from a purely fun factor standpoint, this is probably the best game I've ever played. This game is the pinnacle of the entire industry. It is buttery smooth, with precise controls, full of chaotic action, filled with awesome humor, and is - hands down- the best looking game I've ever seen. No description can do this game justice, it just has to be experienced to understand. If you are a true gamer, you need to experience this title. It is a masterpiece.
Yeah, insomniac do be like that...they don't have a masterpiece story like ND or Santa Monica , R* but they create such a fun environment and fluid gameplay that you end up having most fun in their games.
I have been gaming for so long and played Masterpieces like Tlou, RDR, GoW but still had most fun in my life while playing SpiderMan Remastered this year, not only that game is most fun to play, but it has best story telling than any other SpiderMan iteration I have seen. Its a love letter to lifelong spidey fans like me and I think every fan should play that game and we should literally worship Insomniac for providing us spidey fans with such a classic representation of spidey which even beats Raimi's for me.
I just finished the game and this has to be a 10/10 game it's a absolutely perfect game. The graphics, environments, atmosphere, characters, story, sound effects, music, everything was just amazing. It has everything and never had a dull moment playing it. It's definitely a game I like to replay again and again. This is what a great video game is like and wish more video games are like this. It's rare to see such a gem of a video game like this nowadays. It's different and unique (in a very good way) unlike any other video games out there today
It really speaks to Insomniac's skill and passion for the Ratchet series that it's the only game from that early ps2 platformer era to stay relevant this long.
Sly briefly came back up for air with sly 4 but then immediately drowned after he realized he wasn't getting a sly 5.
@@austindial6613 To be fair, Sucker Punch has said they liked the idea of focusing on a new franchise each generation. Despite inFamous Second Son's existence, they've wanted to make Ghost of Tsushima for a long time.
I think PS5 could be a good time to bring Sly back. The series was unique in visuals, sure, but the use of the "Time Machine" could mirror something like what we're seeing here with Rifts Apart - jumping through time, no loading screens, to pull off the perfect heist.
But I doubt it'd happen.
@@intergalactickoala665 I dunno. I could see Insomniac and SP's B-team tag-teaming it while everyone else handles Ghost of Tsushima. All the Sony devs help each other out anyway, right?
From nearly forgotten IP to Jaw Dropping AAA Show piece.
FeelsStrongMan
I reckon, after _Spidey_ , Insomniac was allowed to make whatever they wanted with no questions asked. And now, thanks to that level of trust, Sony's establish the PS5 as home of one of *THE* best platformers ever produced.
I'm surprised no one talks about the Dishonored 2 time travel house mission when comparing to other games that have this kind of mechanic aswell. I think it was very well done with the time switches you could do at any given time while also having a mirror that shows the other time period through it
Or Titanfall 2s time travel mission.
I like that ratchet and rivet share the weapons, the ludicrous arsenal is such a big part of the games and not messing with it means you don't either double your efforts or half them
Hey Ralph! I was curious on how the dualsense controller felt while playing rift apart since you didn't mention that in your review. Could you compare the haptic feedback in this game to a game like returnal?
I was thinking this as well
It has haptics similar to COD, where the triggers are like gun triggers
It's sick. There's a scene where your by a nightclub and the dualsense shakes like subwoofers as you move through it. It really feels like bass shaking in your hands
Can’t wait to play this in a couple years

Everyone: “I’m not a furry!”
R34 Artists: “Are you sure about that?”
It’s interesting how a big criticism over TLOU2 was that you lost all your unlocked weapons and upgrades as you were forced to play another character and people lost their collective shit over it, but SkillUp is suggesting that it was a missed opportunity to not do that same thing in this game when you play as Rivet. Really excited to play this game though, especially after hearing him rave over it for 20 minutes.
Ahh Skill Up seems to contradict himself like this A LOT honestly. Glad he likes this game tho
@@Goomyx1492 what? On one game you are forever stuck with the character for half the game instead of switching every 2 hours. Anyone can contradict themselves but this aint it. Apples and oranges
10-15 hours for $125 AUD is so conflicting.
My first thought
Plus the console itself.
I really hope they can re-use those assets to make more games, otherwise it'll be such a waste of production time and money.
Or they're already planning DLCs.
Not much money for a great game in my opinion.
I remember the times when I bought Mario Bros. 3, 6 Golden Coins, Castlevania and so on. Those games cost A LOT (maybe even more if you take inflation into the equation) and lastet not even half as long as Rift Apart. For me personally quality is way more important than length when it comes to games. I would rather pay even 200 bucks for Rift Apart than even 30 bucks for much longer crap games like Valhalla for example.
@@markmauk8231 I'm glad playstation has someone to sell this to, because then that allows them to make the games I enjoy.
I don't like the new assassin's Creed formula, either.
25-30 hours is my sweet spot, by but I love games like Skyrim that have hundreds and hundreds of hours of meaningful content.
My perspective might be totally different if I never played Skyrim. Skyrim was my Mario. I was a teenager when it came out, so not like my first game, but it got me into games and is the first game I sunk over 100 hours into.
Because of that game, which I paid $50 for, I feel like it's objectively a bad deal to pay $70 for 1/10th the entertainment. I know that's only my opinion, though.
@@majorwakanda8858 I get your point and I also loved Skyrim. But I still cant relate to your opinion. I just dont care about length, I care about quality.

I genuinely has that same “go to toys r us, and have my mind blown” experience with Ratchet and Clank for PS2. Since then, it’s been my favourite game series
I haven’t played ratchet and clank since the ps2 days of “up your arsenal” and “going commando”. Really excited about this
Into the nexus is worth a look
It's funny to hear that Rivet is battle hardened and ready for anything in contrast to Ratchet, because that's exactly what Ratchet was like in the ps2 days, hell there was an entire game based around him being kidnapped and forced to fight for his life in a brutal bloodsport
Maybe that's why they decided to make Rivet the way she is. They heard some fans talking about how they missed the old Ratchet and figured... Why not give 'em both? 🤷😆
Rivet is alone in a clankless world and learned to survive by herself that's the big difference.
"...he's joined by the latest Rule 34 casualty, Rivet."
*He knows too much.*
I've been a diehard R&C fan since 2003, almost 20 years. I've spent countless hundreds of hours with the games since childhood. So I mean it when I say, this game is a breathtaking experience and the absolute zenith the series has ever reached. It's art/graphics, characters, voice acting, combat (though, tbh, there is a lack of enemy variety), traversal, planets, weapons and mechanics are always joyously fun and never get old. Rivet is my favorite character in not only the entire series but one of my favorites in any game. R&C as a series is very, very close to my heart, and I'm so happy that even now, almost 2 decades later in in 2021, when the world is a flaming barrel of trash and swamp scum, Insomniac are putting more love and effort into the series than ever before. Even at the same time they are also creating the masterpieces that are Spiderman & Miles Morales. And all without crunch. A truly incredible company.
This game looks amazing. I’m just wondering how insanely good the next naughty dog game will look on PS5, or how far Rockstar could push the boundaries of an open world with the next GTA. The possibilities are crazy, what a time to experience gaming

It’s funny you started this with a Dreamcast reference, because watching this is actually giving me Dreamcast vibes. I’ve never played a Rachet and Clank game, never owned a PS console! But it makes me want a PS5 because it’s totally taking me back to Sonic and Echo on Dreamcast, just an astoundingly beautiful platformer type game that feels... like a step up from everything before it. Wasn’t expecting to be floored by this one
I work in theater and we've been using unreal engine quite allot recently, due to how good the end results look projected on stage and how fast and flexible it is to work with. So in many ways video game real-time engines are already changing the way, even mediums as old as theater operate.

Another little visual treat I noticed is that empty shells from certain weapons will remain strewn across the level you’re currently on and won’t disappear!
Finally got the PS5 and got around to playing this. The amount of detail in each level is insane. There's always something eye catching to look at. I can't imagine how long it took to develop some of these levels.
Do you recomend It even for people like me who haven't play the other games of this franchise?
Definitely
If you have ps plus then you can play the 2016 ratchet n clank for free on ps5
Honestly I could see the merits of the teleportation mechanic even without playing first hand. That SSD is being put to good use

This is a game thats kicking-off the next generation of games and Unreal Engine 5 isnt even out yet... WTF.
Let me just note how awesome Skill Up is. No clickbait titles to force you to actually watch the whole video to know his opinion. It is right there in the title if you want just that.
no ssd, no matter how fast can make a game fun and r&c is definitely fun. great review skillup
I just listen to this review now and I will watch it again when I played it, cause your reviews are just so visually pleasing and it feels good when someone talks positively about one of your favorite videogame series. Ratchet & Clank 3 was my first ever videogame. :D
Omg I'm so glad Skill up covered this game!
2:12 "Unthinking I struck it with my hammer and then this happened." My computer crashed at that exact moment. Truly a powerful game.
This game Actually looks How you remember the PS2 games looking. May be Nostalgia But Damn I love it
I’m speechless at how thorough and well made your reviews are. I usually watch ACG and just found your channel, I’ve been binging all your reviews and Holy SHIT. You are the best reviewer in the game. Thanks for what you do man, you truly are a master at your craft.
He saved me alot of money on which games to buy from his great reviews
Agree!
Incredible. Could this be a possible GotY! These have been some of my favorite games, and it’s amazing how they keep remaining relevant over multiple gens.
Man, it feels weird to see the video games series I grew up with still going strong. In the leadup to this release I went back and played through my collection of old R&C titles, and I had to conclude that yes, I do still like this series. I totally believe I would love this if I could play it right now.
Insomniac, and in particular Ratchet & Clank, has always been among the top of the pile when it comes to Playstation graphics. To such a degree that Skill Up's point about the movie-level quality of this game's graphics is a talking point that was already used by mainstream reviewers back in 2007, when Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction launched on the PS3. "The first game to deliver the 'you are playing a Pixar movie' experience" they said. Now at last I actually agree with that compliment.
I love what I'm seeing here, it makes me wish I had a PS5, but that's just not in the cards for me at the moment. I can only hope the game will still be there when I get around to getting one.
Yesterday was my 33rd birthday. I couldn’t wait for the day to end, because it means that we’re one more day closer to rachet and clank rift apart. Super hyped for Friday
This guy is saying it's just saying that Rist Apart is a phenomenal game, he's also saying it the best *looking* video game ever made.
Yes sir, it's a good day to be a Ratchet and Clank fan!
I swear I see u everywhere
I was okay with waiting for a PS5, I really was, but this review has made me suddenly furious about the whole situation. I WANT TO PLAY THIS RIGHT NOW GOD DAMMIT
Im playing it its fucking awesome
Blame Sony for the microchip shortage & botching the process of people being able to get one & upgrading their SSD’s for more storage.
Skill Up just straight up saying “just buy it” about a game you’re looking forward to… warms my soul and empties my pockets immediately on the preorder!! 😁 I already say the ratchet and clank series have been criminally underrated!
When you argued for Insomniac and Pixar to colaborate on a moviegame I felt a door of possibilities open, such an amazingly next level game this is.
And I also love Ratchet & Clank so hell yeah.
This game looks absolutely amazing. Very excited to play when I'm able to get a PS5 in about two years or so.
"Killzone: Shadowfall sucked on PS4 launch", did we play the same game? It was a good shooter, not genre defining, not the meatiest game, but very far from sucking!
It was the worst in the Killzone Series!
@@thetigertooth735 I do agree with that, still a good shooter though.
as someone who hasn't had a Playstation console since the PS3 words cannot describe how hyped I am for the PC port coming out this year
Insomniac has a way of making a world feel alien that is unmatched. Different and otherworldly but where most games would use that for horror, they amp up the excitement and sense of adventure.
A Crack in Time was mind boggling on the PS3 and they seem to have done it again.
