Rifts between dimensions

Released on 11 June 2021 on PS5, then on 26 July 2023 on PC, Rift Apart sends Ratchet and Clank into parallel dimensions where they meet Rivet, a resistance Lombax. The game switches between both heroes, mixing platforming, planet exploration and a wacky arsenal, with quick jumps through rifts.

What the press says

On PS5, GamesRadar+ (5/5) calls it the best Ratchet & Clank adventure yet and a showcase for the console, praising a heartwarming story, many flavours of fun and gorgeous visuals; its only complaint is an enemy that couldn't use a door.
