Antihero

Rift Apart was so much fun. Currently, I'm occupying myself with a NG+ run which lets me wield my beloved Bouncer, but now that I'm done with the story... damn, this game was great! Combat was superb, graphics pure eye candy, everything worked out there. Clank and Glitch gameplay sections could've been a bit more, and I did sorely miss the ship exploration from A Crack in Time, but overall the game's a hell of a time. Insomniac's gonna be busy in the Marvel mines for the next decade, so who knows when we'll get another R&C? But when we do, I look forward to it.

91% through Rift Apart already? Huh! I have been finding those Gold Bolts, armor pieces, and Spybots with the Map-O-Matic in between story events. The game doesn't have too much nor too little side content. Shame there isn't ship exploration which was refined to a T in A Crack in Time, but I do love how instantaneously space travel is from jumping into your ship and picking the next planet to fly to. Can't wait to get all the achievements, the game's been an absolute treat.

Been focusing on Ninja Gaiden Black, having beaten Alma in one attempt this morning. Ending the fight with a fireball ninpo + flying swallow was awesome! Had just barely enough health, but it was overall a hell of a good boss even if the camera gets in the way and Alma kept tossing crap my way.

Finally, I knocked out some more Arkham Knight. One more military checkpoint left, some DLC criminals to put in the slammer, and a lot more Riddler trophies to go. As big as Gotham is, getting these trophies feels a lot less laborious than the 400+ I had to collect in City.

I'll get back to Dark Souls 3 next week, hopefully. Those catacombs I've been dwelling are callin' my name. Sorry to keep you waiting, DS3. As great a game as you've been, I've been up to quite a lot.

Finally, Library Limbo's been on hold for a bit. Majorly due to the burnout Shadow quickly puts ya through. 15 of 326 routes so far. Not sure how oft I'll be playing Shadow given my rotation, but I'll absolutely try to knock out a few more routes. You can only handle The Doom so many times before you need a break, ya know?

If Rivet has the Marauder armor, it's only fair Ratchet gets to wear the suit from my favorite of the PS2 trilogy.

Waited 3 years to play Rift Apart as I couldn't snag one of Sony's latest ray tracing video game machine. Seeing it on sale for $35.99, I got superbly excited and jumped on it! And after 3 years of waiting, it's been worth all the wait. As a lifelong R&C fan, I'm not disappointed at all. Story's been fine, not much of a goer to Ratchet for the story, but gameplay has been tweaked fairly well, and every weapon I've used so far has been extremely satisfying. Playing it with a DualShock 4, I almost wanna buy a DualSense to get the full force of each weapon!

Between Dark Souls 3, Ninja Gaiden Black, and the Arkham Knight side content cleanup, I'm happily throwing Rift Apart as another ball into my video game juggling act.
