Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart is the best looking game ever made AND it runs at 60FPS with ray tracing. The gameplay and exploration is also great. I cannot put it down. 👍🏻Great job, @insomniacgames pic.twitter.com/8yi56xd73f

Not every review is filled with over-the-top joy, as there are a few critiques regarding the variety of enemies in the game and the same style of gameplay Ratchet and Clank introduced two decades earlier.

Overall, though, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart has received highly favorable reviews. The game does what it intends to do and does it quite well, with very few hiccups.
