The new generation of consoles is already approaching its 7 months, leaving the impression that no game built specifically for the new capabilities of the power of these new video games has been released so far. Maybe for this Ratchet and Clank: Into a New Dimension (Rift apartments, in English, is the original title) is so awaited – in addition to, of course, also belonging to a fantastic series and that for many is as synonymous with PlayStation as games like God of War ou The Last of Us. 1h3762
I had the opportunity to evaluate Ratchet and Clank: Into a New Dimension for two weeks before its release, so I'm sharing my general impressions for you now.
In another absurdly beautiful dimension 216q12
Right off the bat, what is most impressive about Ratchet and Clank: Into a New Dimension it's really how the PS5 SSD is being used extremely competently in the game. even without the patch At launch, the game already has virtually non-existent loading screens, whether leaving the home menu or moving from one planet to another.
Back in the event where the PS5 was revealed to the public, this issue of super-fast loading had already been addressed, with the main gameplay characteristic of the title: the quick change in the middle of environment action scenes. In the final game, although this change of environments is used a little less than expected, being more for secret moments of stages, every time it appears it is impressive.
Ratchet and Clank: In Another Dimension it also has details that bring each of the worlds explored to life. Whether in more urban environments or forests, it is impressive to see the level of care that each corner has. It often feels like a movie Pixar and honestly I think that's one of the highest praise possible for a 3D cartoon game.
The moments of action, not only of gameplay, but of running, are also impressive. Each explosion causes an ocean of particles, which does so much Ratchet as Rivet, the two playable characters, look small but extremely capable in these worlds of giants. The famous moments of sliding on handrails through the worlds, a series cliché since the PS3, have never been more impressive and intense. It's incredible and I can easily say that it's one of the most beautiful games I've ever had the opportunity to play.
In the playable version, we only had access to the Quality mode, which runs at 30 FPS (frames per second) with Ray Tracing. As patch launch, 60 FPS mode with Ray Tracing, Performance , will be available. However, if at 30 FPS the experience was already extremely fluid and good to play, I can only imagine that at 60 it will be something fantastic, even if it loses a little visual quality.
Common series gameplay 5i313f
After the dazzling visual effects, I confess that I was a little disappointed in how the gameplay of Ratchet and Clank: In Another Dimension is in a safe area, not bringing anything new to the series. Just like the last title, released in 2016 for PS4, it takes all the innovations brought up to the last game in the franchise on PS3, Into the Nexus, and replicates them without bringing major changes. The sequences of gameplay robot companion of the protagonists to solve puzzles that impede the progress of the game and, even in the shootings, the game remains identical to the previous ones.
That said, I reinforce that the gameplay itself is far from bad, and I'm particularly a fan of the series. Controls are extremely responsive, movement is fast and clashes are intense. But at the same time, we're talking about a sequel that took 5 years to come out and that doesn't have any differences from the previous game. I saw a lot of people playing the 2016 game waiting for Ratchet and Clank: Into a New Dimension, so if you're going to jump right into it after this marathon, maybe a slight burnout happen, even more in its 12 hours of campaign.
However, these are just possibilities, the reception will depend on each one, of course. The visual appeal along with the gameplay fun can make the player ignore it. However, I really hope that in the future, in an title, the fantastic Insomniac put some news in the game. On the other hand, it must also be understood that this title, in particular, seems to take the position of a ShowCase of the PS5's graphics capabilities. A sequel, without the weight of being a visual advance, might work on more gameplay news.
Conclusion 60664y
Intense, visually beautiful and fun, Ratchet and Clank: Into a New Dimension without a doubt is one of the best titles available on PS5 and the first game that really gives the impression that we have reached a new era of consoles. In its 12 hours of campaign, the game never seems to drag on, and when I finished it, a feeling of “I want more” took over me. For me, that's one of the greatest merits possible for a game.
As much as the gameplay is more of the same as the franchise, the game doesn't become dull, at least not when playing it independently of other entries in the series. Without a doubt, it is one of my favorite games of 2021. Ratchet and Clank – Into a New Dimension It is available for R$350 on PSN and R$299 in physical media on Amazon.
