Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is my favourite game in the series and despite its length, is still an amazing showcase of what the PS5, 3D Audio and the DualSense are capable of. Insomniac have really outdone themselves with this entry and I hope we get to see more of not only the main duo, but also...
