DO RATCHET AND RIVET END UP TOGETHER FULL
Luckily, for Rivet, the narrative, and my sappy heart, Kit comes roaring in to the rescue, guns blazing in full warbot form, but now fully in control of herself.
When faced with insurmountable odds and uncountable enemies surrounding her from all sides, what's a lone Lombax hero to do? While three-quarters of our heroes lead the final fight of the Organics vs the Robotics, including a thrilling takedown of a giant mech, the whole game comes down to Rivet vs the entire remaining forces of her lifelong nemesis, Emperor Nefarious. It's heartbreaking all around.Įxcept, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart isn't going to let that rift stand much longer. Nefarious, Rivet and Kit remains at odds the former is willing to keep going it alone, while the latter, thinking herself well and truly broken (which broke me in the process), opts to go back into obscurity to keep everyone safe from her. Despite rescuing our title heroes and even uniting all of the many worlds' biological lifeforms and rebellious robot upstarts against Emperor and Dr. But it's the second part that sets Rift Apart, well. Rfit Apart does indeed do the first part of this equation, taking our fearsome foursome on a worlds-tour and having them battle against all sorts of robotic forces in the run-up to the thrilling conclusion. That would be more than enough for Rivet and Kit to overcome their differences and fight side by side for a better tomorrow. Normally, games like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart would simply force these two characters into combat together, forging an alliances in the trenches, the crucible, the acid-swamps of a hostile planet, what have you. Tragedies from their respective pasts are revealed, and the surprisingly intertwined destinies of both Rivet and Kit, once known, might prevent them from ever working together again. Our two newcomers will get to meet, greet, and team up about two-thirds of the way through the story, but if you think it's smooth sailing for the new duo from there on out, think again. The brilliance of this switch-up is that the veteran teammates - Ratchet and Clank - can help the damaged and solo heroes - Rivet and Kit - learn to trust others and work alongside them. So this time, we get a change-up in the pairings: Rivet finds Clank, and Ratchet finds KT-7461, a.k.a. Our pals Ratchet and Clank have gone through this a number of times over the many games in the franchise, often being separated physically or philosophically, only to reunite before the end again and again. That loss will come into play throughout the game in a running theme that focuses on feeling broken and finding your way toward becoming whole, whether that's through trusting in your own strengths or trusting others not to exploit your own vulnerabilities. That's how Ratchet and Clank not only get separated but how Clank loses his arm. He finds it, in a manner of speaking, but manages to disrupt all the borders between dimensions in the process, throwing all of reality into chaos and allowing heroes and villains alike to slip between worlds through rifts. Nefarious, who steals the reconstructed Dimensionator in an attempt to find the one dimension where he always wins.
Those festivities are, of course, interrupted by the rather goofy anti-biotic and fully robotic Dr. This lovely and nostalgic (and surprisingly action-packed) tutorial sequence acts as a quick catch-up for the story so far: how they met, how they fought, and how they saved the day again and again. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart only gives over control of the action once the title team prepares to enjoy a lavish celebration in their heroic honor. And while the game starts you off by following in the footsteps of Rivet, a masked female Lombax leading a rebellion against her universe's Emperor Nefarious, it's not until our own familiar version of the perennial antagonist shatters the borders between dimensions that we get the possibility for crossovers. Why? Because it's partially a celebration of the title team's meet-cute and worlds-saving adventures, and it's partially a revisit of that story with the alternate version of the team: Rivet & Kit. The overall plot of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart isn't all that complicated and is actually quite easy to follow, especially if you've played the first game.
