ROUNDUP
RATCHET & CLANK: RIFT APART
Developer/publisher SIE (Insomniac Games) Format PS5 Origin US Release June 11
We’re not sure we fully buy into the rapturous praise for Rift Apart’s looks, though it certainly seems a potent showcase for PS5’s capabilities. The titular portals, in particular, bring some much-needed sexiness to SSD load times – this generation’s big selling point – though we’ve yet to get a sense of why they’re more mechanically interesting than your standard grappling hook. With much of the recent demo spent talking about the DualSense features, it seems the proof of this one is going to be in the playing – something we hoped to have been able to report back on by now. The verdict will have to wait a little longer.
