Let's Play Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart [PC] (BLIND) - Episode 18
3ORIGINAL RECORD DATE: July 28th, 2023.
For the first time in 21 years, Ratchet & Clank has officially had a mainline release on PC. Truly a glorious moment in the history of gaming.. or at least it is for me. I genuinely hope this is a sign of many great things to come! More Ratchet? Sly Cooper? Jak & Daxter? Sony, I beg you!
Anyways, you can be damn sure that no matter how down I've been, nothing will stop me from stepping into a vast new world that I was unable to experience on the PS5, from a franchise that's been with me since the very first game, oh so many years ago. That's right, even though I purchased a copy of Rift Apart in 2021, I was never able to get ahold of a PlayStation 5. When I heard rumors that Ratchet would be coming to PC, and later saw the reveal, I was stoked. Couldn't wait. That time has finally come.
There's a couple Ratchet & Clank titles that I have never beaten, and fewer that I've never had a chance to actually play, even once. Those being Rift Apart, as well as the Ratchet & Clank PS4 Remake. Throw in the fact that I haven't been able to properly play Ratchet for years due to the difficulties of setting up my consoles with appropriate cables and no primary TV/monitor + the massive pain in the backside that recording them is. Meanwhile emulators are a complete hassle that can work, sure, but I've rarely had such luck or patience.

So now, I get to experience the newest Ratchet title for the first time, and share that entire experience with all of you as well. Or at least as something to look back on once my legacy has been cast in stone.
This Let's Play will cover the base game's story & all of its collectibles on the Rebel Agent (Normal/Balanced) difficulty, and then at least one playthrough on New Game+, known as "Challenge Mode". You can guarantee that I'll be doing a full 100% run through of this. Something I wanted to do for my original Ratchet & Clank (PS3) LP, but didn't. Hopefully I'll get another chance to return to that game to do my LP proper. & while I am not making any promises, it's possible I might even do a third playthrough on the game's hardest difficulty, to have a crack at that. We'll see.
Just to add, I'm also playing this with mouse & keyboard, which was handled quite well.
Here's hoping we see more of Ratchet & Clank on PC in the future, and even some other IP's from the glory days of platforming!
Slow down a second. A Let's Play.. of a story based game, on Tigerfrost's channel? That must simply be a lie.
NOTE: This Let's Play is marked as "BLIND". Which means it is my first time playing or experiencing the game. Expect me to miss things on a first playthrough, and make many mistakes.
SUBNOTE: This Let's Play will be recorded & uploaded raw in 1440p60fps, unless two episodes need to be spliced together. It will also make us of the custom thumbnail banner. It will not however, contain a custom intro or outro.
NOTE 2: It's possible that OBS & my PC are still at each other's throats. So if you notice any stuttering or random freezes, these only appear in the footage, not during gameplay (Unless stated otherwise).
