PlayStation has released a number of excellent first-party titles since first launching the PlayStation 5 in late 2020. While games like Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Sackboy: A Big Adventure were able to find success alongside the release of the PS5, these titles in particular are ones that also came to the PlayStation 4 as well. As such, there have been few games on PS5 just yet that have actually shown us what the next-gen console is truly capable of when not being held back by the requirements of the PS4. Fortunately, the latest installment in the long-running Ratchet & Clank series opted to forgo a release on PS4 and was instead developed solely for PS5. The result, which is Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, didn’t just give us our best glimpse of next-gen gaming so far, but it’s also far and away one of the most impressive titles that launched in 2021.
