It’s a lovely game and certainly one of the best of this new generation. I highly recommend Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. And it doesn’t help that for reasons that remain elusive to me, Sony has stopped sending me review codes entirely, so yes, this is an actual issue for me, not a hypothetical one.

This is something I didn’t really think about all that often when both Sony and Microsoft were doling out $60 games for a while, but now? It’s coming up often. As much as I do love Ratchet and Clank, given that this is a game I’m now probably done with for good, I can’t help but thinking maybe it is better to wait for a sale, a $70 does feel pretty steep, regardless of its quality. But I think that decision gets harder and harder as time goes on. This is the gamble Sony is making, that their games are good enough and their IPs are valuable enough where you will decide that $70 price tag is worth, despite the hike, despite the alternatives on the market. In this context, Ratchet and Clank is the premium VOD purchase while Game Pass is Netflix, just sitting over there with way more stuff for half the price.īut…no Ratchet and Clank, and therein lies the problem. I had a whole piece yesterday on how the price difference between Sony’s $70 game roster and Microsoft launching all its exclusive day one on Game Pass will equal anywhere from $500-1,000 over the course of 3-6 years spent playing those specific types of games, with Microsoft being the cheaper option.
