The universe is tearing apart at the seams. And it is going to take two Lombaxes — and one very clever robot — to put it back together. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is Insomniac Games’ breathtaking, joyful, and visually spectacular interdimensional action platformer — a game of such extraordinary visual ambition, such inventive and satisfying gameplay, and such genuine warmth and heart that it stands as one of the finest platformers ever made and one of the most visually stunning games available on PC.

When the villainous Emperor Nefarious uses a powerful dimensional device called the Dimensionator to tear open rifts between parallel dimensions, Ratchet and Clank find themselves separated across the multiverse — hurled into a dimension where the bad guys won, where Nefarious rules supreme, and where the heroes they have always been is not something the universe ever got to see. In this shattered dimension, Ratchet encounters Rivet — a Lombax resistance fighter who has spent her entire life fighting alone against Nefarious’s empire with nothing but her mechanical arm, her wits, and a ferocious determination that rivals anything Ratchet has ever shown. Together — across dimensions, across time, and across the full breathtaking breadth of the multiverse — they must stop Emperor Nefarious before his obsession with winning tears reality itself apart permanently.

What makes Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart truly special is the introduction of Rivet — a new protagonist of such immediate charm, such emotional depth, and such genuine personality that she earns her place alongside Ratchet as a co-equal hero from her very first moment on screen. Playing as Rivet offers a distinct and deeply entertaining perspective on the game’s events — her history, her relationship with the dimension she has always known, and her gradual discovery that she does not have to fight alone give the game’s already excellent story an additional emotional layer that elevates it beyond the ordinary. Ratchet and Rivet share the same core gameplay foundation but bring different energies, different relationships, and different emotional journeys to the adventure — and switching between them across the game’s campaign is consistently engaging and consistently rewarding.

The arsenal of weapons in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is one of the most creative, most diverse, and most purely entertaining in the history of action platforming. The Enforcer delivers devastating double-barrelled shotgun blasts. The Shatterbomb launches proximity mines that freeze enemies in crystalline explosions. The Topiary Sprinkler transforms enemies into harmless shrubbery. The Warmonger fires seeking rockets of spectacular destructive power. The Drillhound launches a ground-boring missile that erupts beneath enemy feet. And the fan-favourite Groovitron — a grenade that forces every enemy in range to stop fighting and start dancing — returns in full disco-ball glory. Every weapon levels up through use, unlocking new abilities and new upgrade tiers that make the already spectacular arsenal even more powerful and even more entertaining as the game progresses.

Rift Apart’s dimensional mechanic is central to both its narrative and its gameplay — rifts tear open across the environment during combat and traversal, allowing Ratchet and Rivet to slingshot between locations in a fraction of a second and creating combat and traversal possibilities that are genuinely unlike anything seen in a platformer before. Pocket dimensions — entirely self-contained challenge areas accessible through dimensional rifts — offer focused combat and platforming challenges that reward mastery with powerful upgrades and gear. The dimensional hook is not just a visual spectacle — it is a genuinely innovative gameplay mechanic that gives Rift Apart a moment-to-moment feel that is entirely its own.

On PC, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a technical showcase of the highest order — one of the most visually stunning games available on the platform, full stop. The game supports 4K resolution, ray tracing, path tracing, DLSS, FSR, XeSS, ultra-wide monitors, unlocked frame rates, and a comprehensive suite of graphical options that push PC hardware to its limits in the most spectacular fashion. Every planet, every explosion, every weapon effect, and every strand of Rivet’s fur is rendered with a level of detail and visual fidelity that has to be seen to be believed.
