Oh no! Our magic crystal shattered!" "Well, we're on the magic crystal planet couldn't we just get another one?" "NO! Now we must go to the fixing things planet and enlist the legendary fixer of things!" This is literally what happens at one point it's like someone casually brings up this fixer dude, and suddenly, that's the only imaginable solution to a problem that only calls for half an hour's work and a Pritt Stick. On the one hand, it's got this grand space opera interplanetary scope, but it also seems so weirdly underpopulated it's like each planet only has one actual character on it and ten million copy-pasted generic locals whose job is to run around screaming every time something explodes.Īnd a lot of the plot feels like one contrived excuse to go to a new planet after another: "We need to get a magic crystal! Let's go to the magic crystal planet where they're mined from. See, there's something terribly flimsy about the setting of Ratchet & Clank, which might be because it 100% pivots around the relationship between a space cat and his fucking Roomba. So in the new dimension our heroes get trapped in, the local versions of Ratchet and Clank - girl versions, no less the fan fiction community will be abuzz with madly oscillating fists tonight - never met or became partners, and so, Girl Ratchet and Girl Clank getting together is the fucking final puzzle piece required to win the day and finally correct their deviant existence. When the heroes have won too many times and the villains humiliated too often to be a credible threat, it's time to play the "What If?" card it's like what happened to superhero comics after they officially ran out of ideas circa 1975, and every story since has just been one race after another to restore the status quo in which Spider-Man is poor and miserable and Batman is rich and miserable, and as, of course, we've recently learned, unadventurous in the bedroom. It's called " Rift Apart" because the plot deals with the eponymous duo getting transported to another dimension hauntingly similar to their own with identical game mechanics, but where they never got together, and therefore, everything is wrong and bad, which is just about the only plot left that a franchise that has gotten up itself can do.
We now resume your snarky internet video.) I repeat: Ratchet & Clank's issues may not presently be for want of bum jokes. While rewatching this video prior to final upload, it occurred to me that "rift apart" might be intended as a sort of pseudo- spoonerism for "ripped a fart", which would be a bum joke, and if that was intentional, I hereby retract the preceding complaint about the subtitle not being a bum joke. I'm trying to think of ways the title " Rift Apart" could apply to bums, but all the possibilities make me feel uncomfortable. Incidentally, speaking of bums, whatever happened to the tradition of Ratchet & Clank games having slightly risque subtitles, like " Going Commando" or " Up Your Arsenal", in the grand DreamWorks movies, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, "stealth joke for the mums and dads" tradition? S'pose we're above that kind of cheeky fun these days, aren't we, Sony? Probably got nicked by someone in marketing whose only experience with comedy is having had it patiently explained to them at a mandatory seminar.

is that the smell of distended rectum, or has this franchise gone completely up itself?" Always an occupational hazard when a series goes on too long, runs out of new territory to explore, and instead decides to settle down and curl up inside its own bum, but what an excellent setting of tone for the latest one, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
