Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Review

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a third-person platform shooter developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It is important to point out that, Rift Apart is not a sequel to the 2016 Ratchet & Clank title on PS4, which was more based around the movie. It is in fact a sequel to the 2013 PS3 title Ratchet & Clank: Into The Nexus.

I am a huge fan of the Ratchet & Clank series so jumped at the chance to write a review for the latest installment.
